Best Portrait Lens, Recommendation.

[Klaus Armitter]

There are lots of lens for Fuji, but which is the best choice? Buy saying the best choice, I mean the function, body, price and all the others. Some people can't afford expensive lens, so I wish the price is reasonable.

I highly recommend the Viltrox 56mm based on your list. I just got it and very pleased with people portraits. I think it's worth more than I paid for. You need to control for correct exposure and scene as it can be more prone to fringing more than fujifilm lens. I have the Fujifilm 50mm f2 which is very sharp with fast AF, but use it mostly for pet portraits. The 35 1.4 is wonderful too for wider portraits and general, shop around for used if $ is a factor. Good luck!

Hi Bugernot. I look delivery of a Viltrox 56mm today. It seems to be a quite tight fit when attaching to the camera when compared to the 3x Fuji lenses I have which are all very smooth when rotating into place. What is yours like compared to Fuji lenses?

[bugernot]

My copy is smooth like other native lenses. Shouldn’t be too tight like you have to fight it.

I recently bought the sigma 56mm F1.4 and I'm quite impressed.  My only issues is the lack for ring aperture.  It's a more budget friendly portrait lens than than Fujifilm's
