GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Everyday Prime & Street Photography — XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR: If you shoot Fujifilm and can only own one prime, this is it. The 50mm equivalent focal length works for almost any subject, f/1.4 gives you excellent low-light capability, and the weather resistance means it goes wherever your camera goes.
Portrait & Wedding Photography — 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art (2021): The most compelling portrait prime for L-mount — flagship optical quality at a fraction of what Leica or Panasonic charge for native glass.

- Fujifilm X-mount shooters who want a single versatile prime
