This lens has a much shorter focal length which makes it ideal for areas where you don’t have as much room to work with as you would with the 75mm. Again, with this lens on an APS-C camera, it will have a focal length that’s a little tighter than what’s listed on the lens. So, this 27mm ends up being around a 40mm equivalent on a full frame camera. Most people will argue and say that a 50mm focal length is a really sweet spot, which is why it gets the name “nifty fifty.” So shooting on this lens puts it at that nifty fifty sweet spot, which is why it’s a favorite of mine https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692492f9cccb694282bbd65d/f309c3fa-8165-4c8f-8be6-d991ea1c6468/viltrox_af_13_1_4_xf_af_13mm_f_1_4_lens_1642163729_1682924.jpg Blog - What I’m Carrying in My Camera Bag in 2026 - Viltrox 13mm f/1.4 The last of my Viltrox lenses is the 13mm f/1.4. I don’t use this lens hardly as much as the others but it’s not a bad lens by any means. If you’re in a situation where you really need some wide shots, like in real estate photography for example, then this lens is fantastic. If you are looking for some really unique shots, this lens is capable of handling it with no issues. I don’t have much else to say about this lens other than I don’t use it that much, but it’s still a strong lens. Again, with this lens being used on a crop sensor camera, it will be the full frame equivalent of roughly a 23mm focal length. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692492f9cccb694282bbd65d/6ab8ac76-e3ad-4db1-ae9c-1337227259b2/fujifilm_xf_35mm_f_2_r_1745938327_1191420.jpg Blog - What I’m Carrying in My Camera Bag in 2026 - Fujifilm XF 35mm F/2 R WR This is the last lens that I use and I always keep it in my bag. I don’t use this as much now as I used to do to mainly using my X100V for street photography, but when I feel like getting my X-T5 out and using it with a much lighter lens, this is my go-to. I picked up this lens used from Robert’s Camera in Indianapolis (which, is an incredible camera store that you should 1000% check out) for around $230 USD and it was so worth the price. Its weather sealed, incredibly light, and has a maximum aperture of f/2 which is crazy for a lens that small. This lens gets used regularly when my wife wants to take a go at the X-T5 and it’s the lens she prefers as well. If you can get your hands on one of these then you should definitely get it and don’t think twice. https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/what-is-the-best-beginner-camera monthly 0.5 2025-12-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692492f9cccb694282bbd65d/1764358159722-M9C8N49XWUUEGGDY3CKT/unsplash-image-lfRlv3nuf78.jpg Blog - What is the best beginner camera? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/are-kit-lenses-good-enough monthly 0.5 2025-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692492f9cccb694282bbd65d/678ec7bc-9cde-49c7-8f47-63c91e8db6bd/irham-setyaki-iKeD4mGMPq0-unsplash.jpg Blog - Are Kit lenses “good enough”? - Make it stand out Photo by Irham Setyaki on Unsplash https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/the-basics-of-photography-iso monthly 0.5 2025-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692492f9cccb694282bbd65d/2d6c7616-f9ca-41ec-9887-d0225c37ffd8/DSCF2894.jpg Blog - The Basics of Photography - ISO - Make it stand out Photo by Braydon Cottrell (Author) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692492f9cccb694282bbd65d/5a4177a0-67c1-43bb-8861-73f59a3336c1/DSCF2794.jpg Blog - The Basics of Photography - ISO - Make it stand out Photo taken by Braydon Cottrell (Fujifilm XT5 - 41mm - 12800 ISO - f/10 - 1/7000s) - Clinton County Fairgrounds, IN https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/the-basics-of-photography-shutter-speed monthly 0.5 2025-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692492f9cccb694282bbd65d/baac1372-93d0-4667-b4d8-d989d7c0faa0/rowan-freeman-clYlmCaQbzY-unsplash.jpg Blog - The Basics of Photography - Shutter Speed - Make it stand out Photo by Rowan Freeman on Unsplash https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692492f9cccb694282bbd65d/3667d735-c5d5-420b-9def-06f7de900eb3/DSCF4785.jpg Blog - The Basics of Photography - Shutter Speed - Make it stand out Photo taken by Braydon Cottrell using a slow shutter speed (shutter drag) (Fujifilm XT5 - 113mm - 125 ISO - f/3.6 - 1/4s shutter speed) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692492f9cccb694282bbd65d/e399b389-673e-43a9-94b8-3eaafb6fb101/DSCF1998.jpg Blog - The Basics of Photography - Shutter Speed - Make it stand out Photo taken by Braydon Cottrell using a high shutter speed (Fujifilm XT5 - 113mm - ISO 640 - f/2.5 - 1/8000s shutter speed) https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/the-basics-of-photography-aperture monthly 0.5 2025-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692492f9cccb694282bbd65d/195c150c-a6e4-4988-8fe6-f117babad460/wan-san-yip-tLK02oHjT8c-unsplash.jpg Blog - The Basics of Photography - Aperture - Make it stand out Photo by Wan San Yip on Unsplash https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/category/Beginners+Photography+Guide monthly 0.5 https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/category/Lenses monthly 0.5 https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/tag/how+to monthly 0.5 https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/tag/camera+bag monthly 0.5 https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/tag/2026 monthly 0.5 https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/tag/beginner monthly 0.5 https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/tag/Kit+lens monthly 0.5 https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/tag/Lens monthly 0.5 https://www.thinkinframes.org/blog/tag/manual+mode monthly 0.5 https://www.thinkinframes.org/home daily 1.0 2025-11-27 https://www.thinkinframes.org/about-us daily 0.75 2025-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692492f9cccb694282bbd65d/f014ced7-8517-4ec3-8fb0-c2f8cc54382f/DSCF2738.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/692492f9cccb694282bbd65d/d1a9adcd-7b6f-4d6d-a7b6-0241fe22607c/IMG_1192.JPG https://www.thinkinframes.org/braydoncottrell daily 0.75 2026-03-11 https://www.thinkinframes.org/community daily 0.75 2025-11-26 https://www.thinkinframes.org/community/photographer-of-the-month monthly 0.5 2025-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/94b0cfc4-7a1a-4b12-98c0-c8755669bea8/image-asset+%282%29.jpeg
