Hello fellow Fujiheads, A couple of years ago I had the glorious opportunity to take a few dozen photographs on a X100V and, as the cliche goes, I fell instantly in love. My old man used a film camera back in the day and he was glad I had gotten myself a taste. But since I already owned a Canon 6D Mark II with a full lens kit, I had to the fight the urges. After giving my gear away last week, I have finally settled for a Fuji XT Mark II, probably one of the last unsold models I could find in Mumbai. I have opted for the Viltrox 13mm 1.4 lens along with a TTArtisan 50mm 1.4, and a TTArtisan 23mm 1.4 lenses. I have placed the order for the VIltrox 75mm 1.2. While I understand that the TTArtisan lenses would take some getting used to, I am keen to understand if there are any other users of the TTartisan lenses. If yes, then I would definitely want to know about the experience so far. Thanks in advance and blue skies to you.

Hi Everyone, I am hoping for a little help with something that has been confusing me recently. I have seen a lot of posts in the forums where people are saying things along the lines of the 56mm f1.2 Fuji lens should really be considered as a f1.8 when compared to lenses on a full frame camera? Is this correct? The thread I saw it in most recently was: http://prometheus.med.utah.edu/~bwjones/2014/08/fuji-56mm-f1-2/ specifically the following post: I understand the theory, (ie bigger lenses mean more light) but surely this has all been factored into the Fuji lens calculations to ensure the comparisons are accurate. There are also factors such as the sensors proximity to the back of the lens on mirrorless cameras that to some extent must cancel the size issue out. I would really appreciate some help understanding this one. Thanks John
