Just got the X-S20 and I'm looking for a solid portrait lens that won't break the bank since I spent most of my savings on the body lol. I'm shooting a friend's engagement party in Chicago next month and really need something with better bokeh than the kit lens.
So I was thinking about the XC 35mm f2 because it's super cheap but then my logic was maybe it's too wide for headshots? I also saw the Viltrox 56mm f1.4 online and people say it's a bokeh beast but I'm worried about the autofocus issues I've read about on the newer sensors.
- XC 35mm f2 (is it too short?)
- Viltrox 56mm (is the AF actually reliable?)
My budget is strictly under 300 bucks so the XF stuff is out for now. Anyone actually used these on an S20 yet...
Honestly, I had high hopes for that Viltrox AF 56mm f1.4 XF but I've had issues with the AF pulsing on newer Fuji sensors. Tbh it wasnt as good as expected. Total letdown. Unfortunately the Fujifilm XC 35mm f2 is just too short for flattering headshots. Check out the Viltrox AF 56mm f1.7 Fuji X Mount instead. It's cheaper, sharper, and the autofocus actually behaves. Its way better.
