Fujifilm XF56 mm F1.2 R Lens

Product Information

The Fujifilm XF 56mm F1.2 R WR doesn't exhibit any barrel or pin-cushion distortion, as you can see in the photo below. Macro WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER Kevin Mullins is a Documentary Wedding Photographer based in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, UK. The new Fujinon XF56mmF1.2 R WR acquitted itself very well in our laboratory tests - with its center sharpness being particularly impressive at the maximum f/1.2 aperture - ensuring you can use the main selling feature of this prime without fear.

I was going through my old photos this afternoon and came across this shoot from 2019. It was a lighting workshop set up by the Photographic Society of New Zealand (PSNZ). The apodization filter delivers its best results at wider apertures. To enable wide apertures to be used even in bright environments, an ND filter is included that adjusts brightness in three levels. To indicate the apodizing effect, the lens features an aperture ring showing the effective F No. in red. The difference between the F No. and the effective F No. indicates the effectiveness of the apodization filter.

Bokeh is a word used for the out-of-focus areas of a photograph, and is usually described in qualitative terms, such as smooth / creamy / harsh etc. Something to do with smoother bokeh… Crazy to think there are three different variations of the same lens within the XF ecosystem. (And it’s only 10 years old!)

Fujifilm 56mm F1.2 R WR (Mark II) Review

The current aperture is also shown in the camera's viewfinder or on the LCD screen as you turn the aperture ring. The focus ring on the 56mm F1.2 does at least have a nice feel as the components in the manual focusing ring assembly have been specially engineered to respond with more precision, especially when the focusing ring is moved slightly. We use Imatest SFR (spatial frequency response) charts and analysis software to plot lens resolution at the center of the image frame, corners and mid-point distances, across the range of aperture settings and, with zoom lenses, at four different focal lengths. The tests also measure distortion and color fringing (chromatic aberration).Lens Versus Wide Angle Primes Standard Zooms Telephoto Zooms 10-24mm F4 vs. Primes 14mm F2.8 vs. 18mm F2 16mm Comparison 18mm F2 vs. 27mm F2.8 18-55mm F2.8-4 vs. 35mm F1.4 35mm F1.4 vs. 35mm F2 WR 56mm F1.2 vs. APD 56mm F1.2 vs. 60mm F2.4 Macro X100(S/T) vs. 23mm F1.4 X100(S/T) vs. 27mm F2.8 X100 Converters vs. 18mm & 35mm MCEX-11 vs. MCEX-16 Extension Tubes
