Sigma 56mm f1.4 on an X-T50

[David Bennett]

The only lens I had on my Fuji X-T50 previously was the Fuji 35mm f2. So I bought the Sigma 56mm f1.4 and went out to photograph the magnolia on Marylebone Road in London. And could I figure out how to get the lens to keep at f1.4 - no. It needed a coffee and Google to understand that for lenses that do not have an aperture scale, you need to press the frontt dial in (who even knew that a dial also presses in?) - and then it switches between ISO and aperture. So this shot is not at f1.4.
After I understood how to get the lens to f1.4 and went back to take more shots, I didn't like the swirl of bokeh from the twigs behind. So this, shot at f2.8 was the most pleasant.

Very pleasant, indeed.

The blossoms look great against that background.

very nice! i didn't play around with the double digit x series too much because of the interesting control options.
