I just got this camera for my sister's wedding in June. It has so many megapixels and I want the pictures to look super crisp but I dont even know what makes a lens sharp or what numbers to look for. My budget is like $1000 and I'm totally lost with all the options honestly... what do people use for that?
Youll want the Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR. It was specifically designed to resolve that 40MP sensor. Its easily the sharpest portrait glass for your sisters wedding.
> what numbers to look for Like someone mentioned, the 56mm works. Quick tip: check MTF charts for resolution. How large is the venue? Basically, the Fujifilm XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR is technically a sharper, reliable option.

Man I wish I found this thread sooner. Would have saved me so much hassle.
No way, I literally just dealt with this yesterday. Small world.
Re: "." - honestly, chasing sharpness on that X-H2 sensor can be a bit of a trap if you arent careful. I totally agree with the others that the Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR is the top choice, but there are a few things you gotta watch out for so you dont end up with blurry shots anyway.
- That 40MP sensor is super unforgiving. Even tiny hand shakes show up, so make sure to keep your shutter speed higher than you think you need, even with the internal stabilization.
- Focus is razor thin at f/1.2. If your sisters eyelashes are sharp but her eyes are soft, the photo is gonna feel off. Definitely practice with the Eye AF settings before the big day.
- If you want to save some cash for extra batteries or a flash, you might want to consider the Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 Pro XF. Its a beast for the price and seriously sharp, tho its a bit heavier than the Fuji options. Basically, just dont trust the screen on the back of the camera... zoom in to 100 percent when checking your test shots. You dont want to get home and realize the focus was just slightly off on the best moments.
