Fujifilm Fujinon XF 50mm F1.0 R WR Review
The Fujifilm XF 50mm F1.0 R WR has the widest f-stop of any modern, autofocus lens, but it's heavy to carry and slow to focus. Fujifilm X series camera owners who love the shallow-depth-of-field look are certain to be drawn to the Fujinon XF 50mm F1.0 R WR ($1,499). It's a big prime lens with a bright aperture for low-light photography and smoothly defocused backgrounds. Bokeh-specialist photographers interested in exploring the night can take note, but the XF 50mm F2 R WR is a more practical 50mm for the rest of us, and is more attainable at around $450.An F1 With Autofocus Lenses with extra-bright apertures (wider than F1.2) aren't unheard of, but they're typically restricted to manual focus and, unless you're prepared to spend a fortune, they aren't spectacularly sharp optics. That said, photographers still reach for them for extremely shallow depth of field and low-light capture. The XF 50mm F1.0 R WR includes autofocus, and there's little bad to say about it optically. It uses a complex design to get there, with plenty of heavy glass elements. At 4.1 by 3.4 inches (HD) and 1.9 pounds, it dominate...
Pros:
- Extra-bright F1.0 optics with autofocus
- Dust and splash protection
- Nets shallow depth of field images
- Nominal focus breathing
Cons:
- Bulky
- Audible focus motor
- Underwhelming manual focus experience

Fujifilm XF 50mm F1.0 R WR field review
The Fujifilm XF 50mm F1.0 R WR is a unique option for users of X-mount cameras, offering the widest aperture you can get while still featuring autofocus. It's far from optically perfect, soft and with significant purple and green fringing at its wider apertures, but that's not the point – if you're after the sort of 'look' this lens offers, then the lens itself is worth a look.
Pros:
- Studio photography and fine art portraits in controlled settings, low light photography.
Cons:
- Events and action, street or candid photography and close-up imagery.

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 50 mm f/1.0 R WR
Instead of a summary I would like to ask some questions: After looking at the results of our test and the lists of pros and cons, these are rhetorical questions. In a nutshell, the new Fujinon is really sharp in the frame centre but, looking at its price and parameters, our expectations were much...
Pros:
- solid, weather-sealed casing,, excellent image quality in the frame centre,, good correction of lateral chromatic aberration,, slight distortion,, moderate astigmatism,, very nice out-of-focus areas,, silent and accurate autofocus.
Cons:
- weak image quality on the edge of the frame near the maximum relative aperture,, too high longitudinal chromatic aberration,, noticeable spherical aberration,, significant coma,, distinct vignetting,, performance against bright light could have been better,, poor price/performance and price/quality...
