50mm lenses featuring wide maximum apertures are typically some of the most popular options out there, offering a versatile and relatively neutral focal length in tandem with a lot of light-gathering and subject-isolating power. For Fujifilm shooters, there is the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR, and this excellent video review takes a look at the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in usage.

I purchased this lens about 6 months ago and never looked back! Not too big or small, beautiful images whether married to my former X-T4 and now the X-T5 I have no regrets especially when capturing street images.
This is the lens that is always on my X-T4. Superb in every way. Razor sharpness is not the end all, be all. Looking forward to using it on an X-T6 (2024 maybe?).
I have missed the comparison with the fabulous 1st generation Fujinon 35f1.4. Those of us who have this old gem without WR and worse AF need an expert excuse to make the change. Because all your appreciations about the Fujinon 33 of retro aesthetics and "angel dust" is already covered by the old Fujinon 35.
