Viltrox AF 75mm F1.2 Pro vs Fujifilm XF 90mm F2 R LM WR
Fujifilm X-Mount
Two portrait telephotos for Fujifilm X with different philosophies. The Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 Pro (December 2022) is a third-party lens with an aperture ring and f/1.2, equal to about 112 mm in full frame terms on APS-C. The Fujifilm XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR (2015) is a weather-resistant original with an aperture ring, equal to about 137 mm. It weighs 540 g and is about 135 g lighter than the Viltrox (675 g).
So the Viltrox offers more light at a shorter focal length, the Fujifilm more distance to the subject and weather protection.
