Wow! Viltrox delivered what neither Fuji nor Sigma did: A small, yet fast 90mm option. Arrived today from China.
My first impression is really very good. It is very sharp from 2.2 and stays that way to f8. I like the rendering. And it has an f-stop ring (lenses w/o one are a no go for me). Sharpness is on par, if not better, that that of the Fuji 90f2.
Built quality is excellent, too, and AF works fast, silent and -it seems- reliably. Manual focus is pleasant and precise.
If Sigma had offered their 90f2.8 for X-Mount. But they didn't. A smaller than the Fuji 90f2 was the only lens still missing in my set (well, I am still pondering something wider than 16mm).
Will take this lens with me to the Island of Juist and see how it performs. Can easily crop to 270mm FF Equivalent with excellent quality,
The set I am taking is the X-E5, the 23f2.8, 50f2 and the Viltrox 90f2.2. Very small and light kit. Looking forward to it.
Thanks for the review, that looks good. I had the Fuji 90/2 early on, but that was before the bodies were stabilized and I ended up using my 50-140 instead. A very compact medium tele lens is a nice addition to a prime lens kit.
