Cons: Af Opinion: I got to try this lens recently, lens which is actually the alternative of the equivalent 85 1.8 in full format. The overall yield is excellent, such as bokeh, ac seal, ta vignette etc. Dimensions even not exaggerated considering that it is a 56mm 1.2 although for apsc; the real downside is af, especially with little light never hooking on the first shot, very slow; personally on fuji as a portrait lens I prefer the 90 f2, I think for a matter of taste, in any case good portrait lens. |
 | sent on March 10, 2021 Pros: Bokeh, sharpness, weight, construction. Cons: Maybe Cost but in proportion to quality it is not then out of range. Opinion: I find that wonderful. The quality of the blurry is exceptional. The clarity even at full opening is remarkable. Closing then becomes a real blade. A great portrait lens. Considering the opening the weight and size are contained and you carry behind an out-of-the-ordinary glass. I use it with the XT-1 and I feel great. My hands are big and with battery-grip I find the balance to be great. The construction is the typical Fuji therefore impeccable. I think it's a must-have! |
  | sent on October 12, 2020 Pros: Bokeh, chromatic rendering, TA sharpness Cons: Focus, lack of tropicalization, price Opinion: I want to start by the cons, the focus needs an update, it is not a splinter like the f2 and slightly noisy models; the price a bit high comparing it with other brands. Well now let's move on to PRO, chromatic rendering, sharpness and bokeh make this lens a legend, in portraits with a discreet light has nothing to envy to an 85 art mounted on FF. |
 | sent on May 05, 2020 Pros: Sharpness already in TA, wonderful bokeh, colors and reading shadows. Cons: AF not always accurate and not very fast, minimum distance of maf. Opinion: I've been following him forever and finally, found a used in new condition, I finally decided to buy it. It's a gorgeous optics, incredibly sharp already at TA, with a dream bokeh, returns a feeling of three-dimensionality of the subject and has an ability to return the colors of the scene out of the ordinary. In practice optically it is perfect. And despite being light, it conveys sensations of great robustness. And it's also nice to see.... The cons, which are there, are the ones I mentioned, but in proportion to the merits I consider them, for my kind of photography, of really minimal importance. Used on XE3 the AF is still good, while on XT1, when it doesn't work properly, I use the manual maf taking advantage of the excellent viewfinder and its automatic magnification with focus peaking. Final consideration: over more than thirty years of photography and the more than one hundred goals of all the brands and value I have used, this is definitely among the best. Just extraordinary. |
 | sent on March 20, 2020 Pros: Optical and mechanical quality, bokeh always gorgeous. Cons: Diaphragms' ghiera too soft, lag manual focus, could dare a little more in the lampshade. Opinion: It was the first lens I bought with a Fuji, why? Because I like the focal 85 and this lens together with the 35 f1.4 is an optical masterpiece of Fuji, each shot at full opening gives beautiful colors, shades and sharp contours. Unfortunately, as with many other lenses the mechanical part is really backward compared to the competitors, the focus is slow and often inaccurate, the lampshade is shiny plastic and scratches right away, I would suggest a scratch-proof finish or rather a gorgeous lampshade as 35 f1.4. |
 | sent on March 12, 2020 Pros: Bokeh, beautiful shadows, sharpness in my opinion sufficient even to f1.2 ,construction and design Cons: Embarrassing Autofocus Opinion: I decided to make myself a gift and buy this lens for its opening and focal length. What to say, a jewel! Nice and solid as you expect from a Fujifilm lens. What didn't convince me at all is the autofocus... really bad! I didn't expect from a perspective of almost a thousand euros... in good light conditions seems to work properly, even if slow... but just a little backlight and the moped starts to go back and forth without ever hooking... it's nerve-racking! As soon as you figure out how to make the most of it, the fun begins. It's crisp, bright and blurry is really nice! |
 | sent on December 24, 2019 Pros: Painting yield for APSC, well-readable shadows, blurred Cons: Aberrations, flare, sharpness, AF Opinion: I had taken it especially for full-length portraits to decently detach the subject to TA. I returned it after 2 weeks, I gave it every chance but it's not for me. The sharpness at 1.2 is insufficient, even at F2 is literally humiliated by the small 50, the AF is embarrassing in continuous, it goes discreetly only in singles. The merits are a good shadow reading and the soft blurry, sincerely after trying the 90 I was literally shocked and I took that, play another sport! |
 | sent on December 05, 2019 Pros: Sharpness, rendering/look of images , bokeh Cons: it's not tropicalized Opinion: on XT-3 is just enough to make street and unlike other not known big noises for photo use, I would use it in manual for video . The rendering of the images is sharp already at 1.2 with an excellent microcontrast and the colors are pasty and recognizable compared to the same photo made with another newer lens, here goes to taste . It is very susceptible to flare and if you do not notice it kills the contrasts, but if handled well allows portraits in backlight in my opinion fantastic. One flaw for me is that it is not water resistant, so I would be very careful to shoot in the rain or in a desert, beach etc... It is relatively compact even if it weighs enough, especially for those with an Xt-3 or X-pro3. |
 | sent on December 04, 2019 Pros: IQ, size and weight Cons: AF: Slow, noisy and inaccurate in low light, minimum high fire distance Opinion: The first thing that struck me, just pulled out of the box, is its weight that I imagined well higher. Mounted on my X-T2 immediately manifested its perhaps only negative aspect: the AF. It is particularly noisy and not too precise, especially in low light situations, rather slow and, evidently, old school (i.e. old tech). Too bad because the lens, which does not cost very little, then literally leaves you speechless for the quality of image it makes and for its now famous bokeh. Well balanced as size and weight, comfortable the wide dialing dial, as well as the diaphragm diaphragm diaphragm diaphragm, is definitely a lens to promote even if it loses the praise because of the AF. Another small flaw is the excessive minimum focus distance. Perhaps a Mark II version could remedy these small gaps and bring a truly perfect lens to market (and in our bags). |
 | sent on November 24, 2019 Pros: Opening Diaphragm Weight Construction Cons: Soft Opinion: For me the first lens of which Fuji Should Make a Mark II I Tried A Pair and I can say that at 1.2 has a good sharpness only in the center and at close distances At the Edges in my opinion is disastrous at maximum opening you have to close up to f 2.8 At this point a len te 1.2 loses of Appeal Autofocus Slow and Unreliable Replaced with a strange combo fringer adapter with sigma 50 art The Sigma kills him at all diaphragms (apart from the 1.2 that does not) Competition in the Department Full Frame Runs As Super Bright Optics and Of Great Quality à In my opinion Fujifilm Should Accelerate With Opticals Make Less Machines and More Opticals ... those make all the difference... |
 | sent on September 29, 2019 Pros: packaging, construction, price, f1.2, blurry yield, AF on next jan... Cons: AF on old gen, maybe lack of WR Opinion: great nice lens. the packaging is respectable, sold with lampshade, case and microfiber cloth. The weight of 400gr is a fair balancing compromise with all ùfuji machine bodies. the AF performs well on all newer Fuji, especially xt-3, xh-1, xt-30, ex-3 while with previous systems it has a few more attempts. very comfortable the diaphragm diaphragm diaphragm land physically present on the lens. IQ is remarkable even at TA and blurring is very pleasant. the focal length makes it, in my opinion, one of the best portrait optics around, especially in relation to the really competitive price. a lens that is easy to fall in love with and that would be too reductive to use only for portraits. it also lends itself very well to street and, with extension tube, I pulled out macros more than dignified. in short, a piece that can not be missing in a kit worthy of the name. |
 | sent on September 09, 2018 Pros: Construction, balancing, focal length, brightness, blurred, image quality, pleasantness, etcetcetc Cons: Finding them is hard. Perhaps the diaframmi diaframmi ring and especially the lack of wr Opinion: A fantastic lens, unmissable in the kit. Suitable for portraiture, yes, but also great for much more. Photographer predominantly Street, reportage and a bit of landscape and nature. I find that with 56 you can take many photos in all these contexts. Obviously they serve shorter complements, I opted for the 16 mm F1. 4 and 23mm F1. 4 Great trio that I highly recommend after trying many combinations. Going back to 56, it has unbeatable brightness and sharpness, especially if you slightly increase the contrast. The only mole? You wouldn't take him out of the machine body anymore. P.S. I also owned for a year the 90 mm f2 which for others I read be better. I don't agree, I gave it away just to take the 56, and I would never go back. The 56 is almost perfect. |
 | sent on February 14, 2018 Pros: Construction, aesthetics, perceived quality, sharpness, AF precision, creamy blurry Cons: Soft diaphragm ring, plastic lens hood. Opinion: I could summarize the whole review with one word: strepitoso.rnSi, because the 56 1.2, it is really amazing. Start by saying it is beautiful. Beauty, certainly does not help to make better pictures, but satisfies the eye and this is always nice! It is built well, like almost all Fuji optics; so "cold" metal so pleasant to touch. It's solid, and it feels. The ring of MaF has the right resistance, there are no games or strange noises and conveys a pleasant feeling of robustness.rnIo I find that it is very clear already from 1.2, provided you use it WELL and do not cannare the focus, but it is difficult because in any case it is very precise. Almost infallible. I read some who complain slowly ... I consider it more than "normal". But it is certainly not so slow that you miss a shot! Moreover, it is hard to find a PORTRAIT f1.2 optics that is also fast in the MaF as a 300 f2.8 ..... rnLo blurry ... here, yes. This & egravis; certainly his winning weapon and on which we find ourselves to "play" often and more than willingly! It is pleasant, soft, creamy, gradual, mellow ... really a drug! rnThere is a good job of lenses, in my opinion. The optic has a good contrast, but not excessive. It has very neutral shades (perhaps an excessive coat), without having any color cast. It reminds me a lot of Zeiss, in this. AC almost absent even in critical conditions. If I have to find him a defect, well ... I would say the hood. The aesthetic is not at all attractive ... but what is worse, is that it is made of plastic.rnIo I thought that in Fuji did not even know the meaning of the word "plastic" .... and instead! But it does its duty ..... even if it is difficult to understand whether it is about the lens hood or the goodness of the lens.rnParagonarla 90mm, in my opinion, is not entirely correct.rnSono two lenses to portrait, it is true. But they are different.rnOgnuna with a dear onettere! rnOttica to try at least one .... even better. |
 | sent on October 23, 2017 Pros: Light, bright, beautiful blur .. Cons: In my opinion less attractive than 90 F2 Opinion: I had the chance to try a rent from my trusted store! Beautiful .. a real fairy tale that "sing" the Fuji sensor. I leave this review to invite you to try the 90 f2 which is not so much longer! It's true that you have to step back to the portraits but recover in the street the chance to steal shots more discreetly. So you have "two" possibilities compared to the "one" of the 56! Regarding the general rendition, in my personal opinion, the 90th is another enjoyment! |
 | sent on May 20, 2017 Pros: Open, sharp, blurry wonderful Cons: Too soft soaps, do not go to Fuji a few years ago to buy it right away Opinion: Fantastic optics, equivalent to a 85mm full size, perfect for portrait, is probably the best lens I've ever personally owned. Nitid already at 1.2 becomes sharp closing, blurry, at least for my tastes just awesome, not too large and weight when compared to diaphragm. AF extremely slow, which is not strange for an optician up to 1.2 but it should be pointed out that sometimes it is difficult to hook in low light conditions, a problem that is not serious to me because my subjects do not run away anywhere ... the True defect of 56 are the ring too soft, easy to change diaphragm without wanting at least as long as you do not get confident with the optics. Perhaps its biggest defect is that it creates dependence! |
user2943  | sent on April 21, 2017 Pros: bokeh, sharpness, brightness Cons: af lentuccio with low light, it makes lazy Opinion: Spectacular optics for portraits, enables to isolate the subject from the background even at full length, the only system with this Fuji luminosità.rnDal optical point of view, nothing to say, excellent sharpness, even at TA, closing a couple aperture improves ancora.rnAbbastanza lightweight and small enough to be carried around without any problems. The autofocus and 'even 1.2-precision, low light can give you the speed problems also on the new X-T2. rnRitengo is essential if you want to do portraits highlighting the subject, his blurry and 'beautiful, soft and mellow, never invadente.rnDico making lazy because you tend to rely totally optics and its blurry and you end up doing more the same shots relying on his bokeh fabulous. |
 | sent on October 21, 2016 Pros: Openness, size, optical quality, bokeh Cons: autofocus Opinion: A lens that can not miss the portrait but with which you can do so much more. Once the mountains makes you want to take to see the blurred or the detachment of the plans that you da.rnÈ also very compact and if you agree to use it without a hood becomes wearable! RnUnica sore point for me is the autofocus of the old generation establishment at times and in low light situations in peripheral points just will not hang up and makes you nervous! Compared with 90 (I) is a duffer at af level. For the rest it is a lens 9 |
 | sent on April 03, 2016 Pros: versatility, f 1.2, optical quality Cons: Minimum focusing distance Opinion: I had this beautiful slow for a few months, then I sold it and replaced with 90mm. The 56mm is better than 90mm for: versatility, size, maximum opening, "dreamy effect" of photos, three-dimensional (perception and personal opinion) The 90mm is better than 56mm for: sharpness, auto focus, bokeh, minimum focusing distance and resulting in higher reproduction ratio (0.2 vs 12:09). This last point is the main reason why I replaced the 56mm in favor of 90mm: too often, in tight close-ups, the minimum focusing distance constringeva me to move away a few millimeters. With 90mm you can stay further away (especially useful in the early levels of children) to obtain a final magnification increased and this, paradoxically, makes it 90mm longer usable for me, despite the 56mm is on paper a more versatile lens. For full-length portraits, or better yet a half-length, especially in low light, the 56mm produce wonderful results. |

  | sent on June 11, 2015 Pros: OPTICAL quality, COLORS, ALL Cons: ring soft, not having it. Opinion: optical truly exceptional, not finding defects at least I, is perhaps not light but it gets worse. equivalent to about 85 full frame at this price there is nothing. its like they cost a bang. only drawback is not having it. FUJI great !!! not miss a shot today on the optics, I often say that I care but then as they say the QUALITY 'and here you pay quality any. |
 | sent on March 18, 2015 Pros: Optical quality. Cons: Ring diaphragms can rotate accidentally, not light, creates independence .. Opinion: It 'was my second optical after returning to Fuji, what about a few cons, a lens really successful. A little 'softness to F1.2 but perfectly usable, is after a blade .. Good Bokeh and contrast. Now is perpetually attached to the X-E2 for the photos to the ambient light in the ceremonies. Purchase that would do it with your eyes closed .. |
