The Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR and its predecessors have been the undisputed kings of the medium tele class in Fujifilm X mount. However, their reign is now being challenged by a new contender – the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.2 Pro XF (also available in E- and Z-mount). The Viltrox lens has a suggested retail price of $580 USD (599 EUR, 530 GBP, 840 CAD, 97500 JPY), which undercuts the price of the Fujinon by almost half.

Let’s revisit the Forgotten Gems League again. 135mm lenses aren’t overly popular, and that’s despite the fact that these are some of the very best quality prime lenses around. These lenses are comparatively easy to design even with an ultra-large aperture – which is why they are so good. And in the Sony world, the local gorilla is the Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 GM. While such lenses may be easy to design, it doesn’t mean they are affordable, unfortunately. The Sony lens costs about 1600 EUR or 2200 USD. The fact that this lens belongs to Sony’s Grand Master lineup…
