The Voigtlander 15mm F4.5 lens is a Leica lens that's been optimized for mirrorless digital sensors. This lens has an aperture of f4.5 to f22. It's extremely small and light with full manual controls making it an incredibly fun lens to use. Plus it looks amazing.
Fujifilm 10-24mm f4 Lens Review And Sample Images
The Fujinon 10-24mm is compact, lightweight, sharp, and optically stunning. It's excellent for landscapes and performs well in various scenarios when zoomed in.
While its quality and sharpness are commendable, keep in mind that as a zoom lens, it does have some minor flaws and may lack a bit of punch.
Fujifilm XF 56mm f1.2 R Lens Review & Sample Photos
The Fujifilm XF 56mm f1.2 R lens is an absolutely phenomenal that is extremely fast with beautiful bokeh and a 7-blade rounded aperture at f1.2.
The lens is optically near perfect and is very well-built with an all metal barrel. It does have somewhat of a high element count as a tradeoff to great corner to corner sharpness and chromatic aberration control, so it does produce a slightly more ethereal bokeh compared to a lens like the 34mm f1.4 and is slightly softer in terms of micro-contrast. Because of the 7-blade aperture, bokeh will get a little busy compared to a lens like the Fujifilm 60mm f2.4 with its 9 blade aperture.
The only real draw back is the fly-by-wire autofocus and plastic lens hood.
