If this lens proves to be a solid performer, it could be the Noctilux of the Fuji X mount World. On an APS-C sensor this lens equates to a 50mm on a FF camera.
For such a low price it costs less than one third of my state sales tax for the Leica 50mm 0.95 Noctilux. Even that sentence amazes me too!
There other APS-C X mount lenses with f stops of around f1.0 give or take so I wonder if others have tried one of these on the Fuji X. To me the new XT-5 sensor could put demands beyond the reach of some of these inexpensive lenses and thus render them useless or just not useable. For me a lens with a sharpish center point and less sharp edges could be OK for certain work, but it really requires trying one out to know.
The Fuji 50 1.0 is interesting, but that makes it a 75mm FF equivalent and I am looking for something equal to a FF 50mm lens.
Any comments?
