Pros: Very comfortable to work and hold on X-T body!

Cons: The only way to get impressive soft background is to use the lens at f1.2 ... BUT at f1.2 the lens is not sharp anywhere close to alternative lenses. It is also, just like any other half decent Fuji lenses 2x to 3x times more expensive than equivalent (or better) Canon, Nikon, Sony or Sigma lens !!!

Opinion: Finally I got to try out the lens. We were shooting : me with my X-T2 and 56 1.2 and my friend with Canon 6DII and Canon 85 f1,8. I discovered two things: 1) Fuji lens cannot get truly soft lovely background, unless you work very close to the model. And I was not comfortable being so close to our model, and 2) The lens is comfortable to use - not very big, not very heavy and has a comfortable shape to hold. Then I swapped to Canon (6D) and my friend took my Fuji, and we agree : Fuji is much more comfortable to work with. BUT And it is a huge BUT - Canon 85 f1.8 came out so much better - better color, better sharpness, better background separation. Everything, just everything related to image came so much better with Canon 85 1.8 lens !!! And let alone the Canon lens here costs EUR 300, the Fuji lens costs EUR 900 ... Summary : an OK lens, but way to expensive, way way way too expensive - vs. comparable and better lenses from other brands. So I am not buying this lens, waiting fro maybe Sigma will start making Fuji lenses this year. PS After trying out 7 lenses from Fuji, I only liked 2 of them : The 2.8 16-50mm zoom, and the 23mm f1.4 lens. They are very expensive, but at least they are very good. My next camera, I go back to FF, and I am not looking back at Fuji ever. I do not care their camera bodies are fine, without good and reasonably priced lenses I cannot work.

Pros: Full aperture sharpness, weight, blurry pasty

Cons: Af sometimes uncertain, AC

Opinion: The pros far outweigh the cons. I was undecided between this is the 90 f2. One does not exclude the other and in fact the 90 is already on the list. However, the 56mm from fujifilm is an exceptional lens that if you have enough space is preferred to the 35mm f1.4, which I would not give up. I then found out that with an xpro3 the noise in the focus is minimal. Which also happens to me with the 18mm f2.

Pros: Color rendering, amazing bokeh, build quality

Cons: Maybe AF uncertain on some occasion

Opinion: Spatial lens, excellent color rendering, AF uncertain only on some occasions, but still satisfactory. That said, I use it in conjunction with the XT-4 that perhaps makes the autofocus a little more responsive, it is certainly among the must-have lenses, weight and ingrombri are contained, the quality as always in the Fuji house is of a high level, the absence of the WR as far as I am concerned is irrelevant. It turns out to be a funny lens even outside of portrait photography, in some respects a bit of a revelation.

Pros: Magic

Cons: Slightly slow AF

Opinion: As I wrote in the PROs it is a magical perspective. There is no other way to describe it. Vero has an AF not quite up to par but you will forget it as soon as you look at the shots on the monitor. In portraits it is perfect. The weight and bulk are exactly what I would have liked from such a lens. On the T2 it is very balanced in weight and size. The bezel of the MAF is large and rubbed the right. I think that together with the 90 F2 in fuji, for portraiture there is nothing better.

Pros: Shadows , colors , detail , versatility, Af-s quite fast

Cons: Price

Opinion: Lens for portraitists with Caravaggio's stamp and strongly vintage personality, very happy with the combination with my Xt4 that gives me a very performing and versatile combination. I reconnect to the counter mentioned the price: the price of the lens is high, but if we combine this lens with 35 xf and a body like xt4, overall we will find the economic advantage of the Fuji system. It offers you pro features at semi-pro prices from Sony, enviable for afc and eyes tracking but for its ecosystem no, even with the excellent Sigma optics.
