I haven’t gone out to do the photographs I want to take due to lack of a “proper” lens (proper as in appropriate for what I want to shoot, not the best possible). I’m thinking of these three. The Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 seems to win over many, but I read more about purple fringing on that one. I pixel peep and I’m neve…
