I finally got my X-T5 and my bank account is empty now so I need glass but the Fuji native lenses are just way too expensive. Everyone says the Sigma 18-50 is the way to go but it doesnt have an aperture ring and that honestly ruins the whole point of the Fuji dials for me.
Then I looked at the Viltrox 27mm 1.2 for my street shots around London but I'm worried it's too chunky. My logic was that third party would save me money but people say the 40mp sensor is super demanding and will show every flaw. I've only got about £500 left before my trip... which ones actually look sharp on this thing?

Honestly the 40mp sensor isnt as scary as people make it out to be. Ive found that Viltrox glass generally handles the resolution well and it works for most setups. Their newer stuff usually features an aperture ring too which fits the Fuji workflow... Just stick to their prime lenses for the best results. It kinda depends on your needs, but they are solid and affordable tho.
