60 f/2.4 or wait for new 50 f/2

Nice shots. Surprised that you find it focus faster than the 56 as everyone claims its so slow. I can live with af hunting in bad light (might just use the 35 in bad light anyway).

 

It has lighter glass to move, I guess. And firmwares have been updated quite a bit from the early days. In my X-T1 it's focus performs just as well as with the 56mm, in bright daylight. I was also really hesitant myself since I had read so many bad comments about it's focus speed. But in good lighting it's nothing to worry about. And in macro I use the manual focusing instead.

 

Sure, 56 is awesome and I think I'll buy it again, just to have the razor thin dof. But this 60 is a keeper for sure.

I think you'll find that newer firmwares have improved the 56mm as well.

I always wonder how dark you guys shoot when you say low light, I photo gigs, and the 60mm focuses fine an an xtrans 2 body (might be the useful high contrast scenes)

 

If you are sensible with the exposure settings (I only ever use full manual exposure) I very rarely have any issues

When will the 50 be released?  I always wonder how many shots I might miss while awaiting

a new lens release...
