The Fujifilm X-T5 is the best camera for 99% of people out there.
Viltrox is turning out to be, in my opinion, the best alternative to the Fujifilm native lenses.
You will not regret it.
Viltrox is really making a strong statement with this lens and the new Viltrox 13 millimeter 1.4. Both lenses have amazing image quality, they fill a gap that hasn't been covered by the native Fujifilm lens line-up, and they do this all at a very competitive cost.
While I will honestly admit that I might not have purchased this lens because of my first-party lens kind of like snobbery, I'm glad I was given the opportunity to review it as it really is a complete joy to use.
It is my absolute favorite Fujifilm lens that they've released at this point.
I am confident to say that it is in the running to be one of my favorite Fujifilm lenses, and it could tie itself with the 16mm f/1.4, and you guys all know how much I love that lens.
I'm fairly certain that this is one of the best deals for Fujifilm lenses right now, so if you're on a really strict budget, this is one of the few options that still gives you ultra shallow depth of field at a very cheap price.
My last reason, and probably the most important reason, is because I personally think that the Fujifilm XF 23mm f/1.4 R is the ultimate storytelling lens on the Fujifilm system.
In general, at this point in my photography career, all the photos that I really end up really liking a lot and that I feel that define my brand have been created with this lens, and I think that is not on accident.
At this point, the camera is a true extension of kind of my body, and I like having one camera system to do everything that I needed to do.
[T]his lens is a lens that you really have no excuse to not bring with you. It's that small, it's that good, and it's that versatile, and that's something that I want everyone to remember.
