- Fujinon XF 56MM F1.2 R Prime Lens for Portrait | Wedding | Fashion (Full Frame Equivalent = 85MM) with 2+1* Year Warranty

While the 90mm f2 and this 56mm f1.2 are both excellent lens for portrait, I like this one because of its low light capability and shorter focal length. This lens has amazing sharpness. The only downside is the focussing motor which makes a decent amount of noise. But that really should not matter if you are just into photography.

Whoever holding Fuji system please go-ahead you will not regrate. This is my first lens and best lens ever. Pros:- * Low light performance * Best Color science * Well Build * Best performer Cons:- - Heavy - Low focus speed - Noisy motor - Big machine - Costly Machine All the cons will fade after seen the output.

Great Value for the bucks.. Supersharp. This is superamazing. Packaging was very good. Amazon rocks

The picture quality is very sharp. Very sharp indeed. The lens offer out of the world bokeh effects almost like dreams. Very good low light performance. The only thing to keep in mind is to nail the focus in low light situations. Otherwise that sharpness will be compromised. Once you nail the focus, the lens will deliver. The compact size being equivalent to 85mm FF make it easy for traveling. Solid build quality. Yes missing the OIS and WR capabilities. Despite that a must have lens if you're into Fuji system and love taking portraits.

Obiettivi top per ritratti, lo sfocato a tutta apertura a mio parere è stupendo. La qualità non si discute, forse un po’ lento di af ma per i ritratti non è un problema. Imballaggio molto buono. Ve lo consiglio. (Ho avuto bisogno di contattare l’assistenza Amazon per un chiarimento i quali hanno risposto nell’immediato, è giusto anche parlare in positivo di chi lavora dietro a tutto questo). Prodotto consigliato!

Un objetivo excelente, con una luminosidad increible, nitido, muy robusto, una muy buena adquisición, mas que lo obtube con un excelente descuento

Superbe optique, parfaite pour isoler un sujet avec un beau bokeh. Micro-contrastes et saturation sont au rendez-vous. La version APO beaucoup plus onéreuse que j'ai eu la possibilité d'essayer avant de faire mon choix final, n'apporte pas grand chose en plus et relève plus de la segmentation marketing que du réel gain du point de vu de l'arrière plan. Les plus : - qualité optique remarquable même à pleine ouverture (et exeptionnelle à partir de f/1.4) - micro-contrastes et saturation dignes des meilleures optiques Fujifilm - bokeh très agréable à moins de 5-6 m du sujet (capacité à isoler le sujet photographié sur un arrière plan flou et "crémeux") - qualité de construction "Made In Japan" qui commence à se faire rare même à ce niveau de prix - livré avec un pare-soleil Les Moins : - Autofocus un peu bruyant dans une environnement silencieux par rapport aux dernières versions des objectifs Fuji (notamment le XF35mm f/2 WR) mais il n'est pas le seul à avoir ce petit défaut - Mise au point moins rapide qu'une focale courte moins lumineuse ou un zoom. De mon expérience, rares sont les optiques à très grandes ouvertures (Nikon, Fuji...) en APS-C ou Full Frame qui soient extrêmement rapides dans la mise au point... Seul Panasonic/Olympus avec les 75mm f/1.8 ou le 42,5mm f/1.2 arrivent à concilier les deux mais c'est du Micro 4/3 - Nécessite l'emploi d'un filtre de protection vu le prix de l'objectif et celui de Fuji est particulièrement cher en 62mm

Ich komme von der DSLR-Fotographie mit der D800E. In diesem Brennweitenbereich benutze ich entweder mein Nikon AF 85/1.8 D, das Nikon 70-200 2.8 VRII oder das alte Nikkor MF 105/2.5 AiS. Das Fuji hat im Vergleich nur Vorteile: Es ist leicht und für seine Lichtstärke vergleichsweise kompakt gebaut, beim Fokussieren fährt kein Tubus aus, nichts dreht sich mit, es ist bereits bei Offenblende in der Bildmitte sehr scharf und kontrastreich, der AF ist schnell und präzise und die Verarbeitungsqualität des Objektivs ist sehr hochwertig. Das Bokeh empfinde ich angenehm, auch wenn die APD-Version und das 90 mm Obj. von Fuji da noch etwas besser sein soll. Die mitgelieferte Gegenlichtblende ist sehr groß und schützt damit effektiv vor Randlichteinfall.

I've been waiting for this one since Fuji put it on their lens "road map" last year. Amazon delivered my Fuji X 56mm f/1.2 lens yesterday afternoon, and I immediately put it on one of my cameras, only to get the "please update camera firmware" display. Thirty minutes later, I could finally shoot some photos :) Some random thoughts: 1. Wow is this thing sharp. Center, corners, everywhere, even wide open at f/1.2. Too sharp in some ways for a portrait lens. I'll be doing some retouching on portraits to smooth out the skin, as this lens shows every single tiny flaw. 2. It's well corrected, so the usual faults of very fast primes are minimized (haloing, longitudinal chromatic abberation, etc.) and there's almost no distortion. Very well done. 3. It's slower to focus on my X Pro1 and XE1 bodies than either of the zooms -- more like the Fuji 35mm f/1.4 lens. But the focus is exceptionally accurate (which I find normal with the Fujis compared to the phase-detect systems in DSLRs.) 4. It's big -- larger than the 23/1.4 -- and on an X Pro 1 with a grip, this is starting to get kind of big for a "compact" camera system. But it does balance well. 5. Compared to my Canon 85mm f/1.2, it's of course smaller and lighter, and much less expensive. It allows the same amount of light through the lens (f/1.2) but there is some small difference in the depth of fielf characteristics, with the Canon offering more out-of-focus blur at the same subject distance. But in real life prints, the difference is small. (If you want to see all the arguments about this, there are plenty of places online to find them.) 6. Comparing autofocus with the Canon, I am getting a much higher percentage of perfect in-focus shots with the Fuji. 7. The lens hood is huge. But it reverses for storage. 8. At moderate subject distances, for example an environmental portrait shot from the waist up, the 56 shot wide open gives a pleasing out of focus quality to even fairly close backgrounds. This lens just renders very nicely. 9. You can buy one 62mm neutral density filter and use it on both this lens and the 23/1.4. This will let you shoot outdoors in bright daylight with a wide open aperture. 10. The Fuji 56mm is a specialty lens. If you know why you need it, this one won't disappoint. If you shoot portraits for a living with the X system, it's a terrific addition to the camera bag.
