The smooth bokeh produced by the XF 56mm f/1.2 R APD lens will attract photographers interested in portraiture.

The Fujifilm XF 56mm F1.2 R is a superb addition to the X-series range, offering a classic portraiture focal length and an ultra-fast aperture that produces simply beautiful background bokeh with a minimum of fuss.

This lens is a fine addition to the X-series lens line up. It is incredibly sharp, whether you're shooting with the aperture wide open, or not. The APD filter, which sets this lens apart from the standard 56mm f/1.2 is a really interesting addition, which truly helps to improve the appearance of out...

Fujifilm has two 56mm lenses for their X Series cameras, and although the APD is near identical in spec, it’s hiding a secret its rivals can’t compete with... APD stands for apodization filter, an inclusion that makes the bokeh smoother than a regular lens.

It is true that the Fujinon XF 56 mm f/1.2 R has many advantages – after all not every lens manages to break resolution records like it does. On the other hand the cons list consists of as many as four positions; taking into account the price of the 1.2/56 model it might be considered a bit...

too weak image quality on the edge of the frame near the maximum relative aperture,, too high level of longitudinal chromatic aberration,, distinct vignetting,, performance against bright light should have been better.

This is an in-depth review of the Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R lens made for Fuji's line of X-Series cameras. This short telephoto lens (85mm full-frame equivalent) was released in February of 2014 and quickly became known as one of the best prime portrait lenses on the market, mirrorless or...

This telephoto lens for the Fujifilm X-series interchangeable lens cameras, may seem familiar, as it's virtually the same as the current 56mm f/1.2 , which provides a field of view equivalent to an 84mm lens on a 35mm camera, sports a very bright f/1.2 maximum aperture and costs around £750.

Like the previous, non-APD 56mm lens, Fujifilm has really knocked it out of the park with another excellent optic for their popular X-mount cameras. Offering excellent, sharp images, with very low distortion, CA and vignetting, plus the "bokehlicious" ƒ/1.2 aperture -- and now with the...

Beautiful lens for portraits, excellent build quality. Autofocus is a little slow but no regrets.

My relationship with this lens is complicated. While I L O V E the bokeh from this lens I find it very hard to get sharp pictures, I understand that when shooting at 1.2/1.4 the depth of filed is very very thin, but still, even when the shutter is at 1/1000th of a second and the subject is not...
