Review on Review and specifications of the Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 R lens by Ahmad ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

It is pleasant to take the lens with you on various walks, including the city at night. Due to the small dimensions and low weight, there is no feeling of fatigue and the seriousness of the work that kilogram counterparts give. High aperture allows you to take good handheld shots in the light of city lights, but it is worth adding that at night the autofocus loses its tenacity and periodically “breathes” strongly on moving objects. This lens model is often compared to products from other manufacturers, such as the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L. Since I own both, I can say that Fuji wins in weight, compactness, speed and sharpness, but is much inferior in drawing. Only under certain shooting conditions can you achieve some interesting blurring in the blur zone, unlike Canon, which literally pours oil on the image on the matrix. Based on the paragraph above, I can say that I perceive this model a little closer to commercial shooting than to art. For example, I post pictures taken at the maximum open aperture.

Great lens. Managed to buy abroad before the dollar jump. Compared with Sony SEL 50 / 1.8 - a cut above in quality. One of the best portraits I have ever used.
