\"DSCF8309\"<\/a>FUJIFILM X-T1 (50mm, f\/1, 1\/125 sec, ISO250)
<\/span><\/p>\n

When I purchased the Fuji XF1.2\/56mm I also had the chance to shoot\u00a0the fastest lens available for the Fuji X system. The Handvision Ibelux 0.85\/40mm. f0.85! Wow, that’s fast but there is no need to get\u00a0excited.<\/p>\n

Even though the lens is just a “normal” lens with a focal length of 40mm it is 1.1kg heavy and as long as a tele-zoom. Of course it is manual focus only and the lens can not communicate with your Fuji X camera. That’s why the EXIF data says f1 even though the first and the second shot were taken at f0.85.<\/p>\n

It’s very hard to focus as depth of field is razor thin. I think I managed to focus correctly but it the images look soft and there is hardly any contrast.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF8311\"<\/a>FUJIFILM X-T1 (50mm, f\/1, 1\/125 sec, ISO250)
<\/span> \"DSCF8312\"<\/a>FUJIFILM X-T1 (50mm, f\/1, 1\/125 sec, ISO320)
<\/span><\/p>\n

Stopped down to f1.4 or better to f2 the lens improves. But at f1.4 there are better options available i.e. the Fuji XF1.4\/35mm. AF and EXIF data will work, its almost 1kg lighter and about 1.000.- EUROs cheaper. Yes, the Handevision Ibelux is not exactly cheap. I have no idea what the makers of this thing had in mind. A stupid lens with a stupid name.<\/p>\n

Here the owner of the shop tries to get a sharp image. With very little success. In case you are still interested the lens is available for Fuji X, Sony NEX, m43 and even Canon M.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF8302\"<\/a>FUJIFILM X-T1 (56mm, f\/2.5, 1\/125 sec, ISO2000)
