Pros: Exceptional sharpness, autofocus

Cons: Requires rational use

Opinion: A phenomenal perspective. The sharpness is stunning. Perhaps, precisely for this reason, despite the equivalent focal length of 75mm, I see it less suitable for the portrait - a genre in which a "ruthless" and extremely analytical rendering is not always desirable - but for other purposes in which it can give its best (travel, still life, reportage of events). The color rendering is typical of the most recent realizations, a saturated thread but, as per Fuji tradition, without exaggerating and always with great naturalness. The bokeh does not reach the top of the category but it is far from contemptible The autofocus is lightning fast and very precise. Solid construction, pocket size and with the added plus of tropicalization. The price is affordable. If I have to find a defect, perhaps, it is precisely in the focal length (equivalent to 75mm as an angle of view, but which basically - proportions and progression of the planes - still remains a 50mm) that forces a more studied composition. In short, it is not an economic alteration to 56mm, but something different. However, it remains a lens that, used consciously, can give great satisfaction.

Pros: Sharpness, compactness, mechanics, dials, AF.

Cons: Filter diameter, color aberration at maximum opening.

Opinion: This Fuji 50 f2.0 optics to say you have to love this focal point. Pro - Excellent sharpness beautiful colors very clean pictures less noise at high ISO ? no I know why maybe reason automatic software correction on this optics. Compact optics. Diaframmi diframmi diy perfetta.AF very fast and silent Not absent of distortion but anyway more passes than the 35 2.0 even correct vignette so I not wonder pattern 50 mm very easy to build with few defects. Cons - Filter diameter. You can see in certain situations of very light and dark light at the maximum opening stripes blue color however not so difficult to remove compared to the 16 1.4 Fuji. An all-in-a-lot economic optics for what offers the highest quality excellent sharpness excellent micro contrasts.

Pros: sharpness, size, versatility

Cons: Aesthetic

Opinion: I bought this lens as a second choice considering the considerably higher cost of 56mm. f 1.2, but I didn't regret it in the slightest. The blurring is very nice and the fact that in most situations you can understand the context in which the subject is located in my opinion is an advantage, since I do not make fashion photography but I am a simple enthusiast. It's so small that I tend to keep it on the machine a bit for all situations and the focal is quite versatile. Very recommended.

Pros: Perfect

Cons: Perfect

Opinion: This optic in some ways is the best I have ever tried, microscopic, AF lightning fast, contrasted the right, beautiful bokeh, sharp, tropicalized, beautiful colors, has no optical defects. Is... Analytical, too, is a 90 miniature, compared to the latter however focal and opening do not make "magical" the photo, so with 50 you are very much in the real world and you have to study the background well and set the subject. In landscape instead is an intercontinental ballistic missile, I have a 30x45 print of Rocca Calascio in which you count the blades of grass with beautiful colors at sunset.

Pros: VERY fast, light, WR, incredibly sharp

Cons: Personally, I find it aesthetically horrifying.

Opinion: As doubtful as I was before taking it, accomplices several preconceptions due to the appearance of the lens that Personally I find really bad, I then convinced myself, and fortunately. On xt3 the fire is wonderful, make no mistake, quietly follow the subjects in tracking and eye-af. But the thing that leaves you most open-mouthed is the sharpness of the files. really, something that I'm amazed at every time (see to believe, in my galleries all the photos are in full resolution, most with the 50). In any case, it is definitely a best-buy for anyone, it only pays the comparison with the 56 1.2, but it does not have much to envy to the big brother.

Pros: Size, price, sharpness, AF speed, colors

Cons: Sincerely nothing

Opinion: Lens in my opinion very discreed maybe because of the 56mm 1.2. The 50mm F/2 is small, responsive, extremely sharp already at TA and AF Lightning a bit like all the serious WR. With portraits is a bomb because the colors that it returns are beautiful and the focal is very suitable. For those like me who does not love extreme bokeh, this lens is the answer to every need. Considering the price and what it has to offer is absolutely a must have that I can only recommend to all lovers of Fujifilm fixed.

Pros: Construction, size, weight, robustness, autofocus also excellent in AF-C, sharpness, optical correction, little nervous bokeh, colors.

Cons: Not much character, focal particular.

Opinion: Excellent as the entire F/2 series, probably better in many respects than the 35 f/2, not to mention that the sharpness is extreme. The focal is a bit peculiar, which can be both a pro and a cons; Personally I think it fits very well in portraits where you do not need a depth of field extremely reduced (and in this case can give very good images and extremely pleasant), photography of food and photography of events, but it is precisely my Opinion. The sharpness is excellent at all openings, while it has a step between F/2 and F/2.8, which all in all I consider positive because the use at full aperture for portraits is an advantage (from 2.8 has the sharpness of a macro). The autofocus is one of the best among Fuji lenses and allows a continuous reactive focus with the last bodies of the brand. The price of these Fuji lenses is all in all proportionate to the construction offered.

Pros: Iconic Design reminiscent of the past, quality files, all metal, AF convinces, made in Japan

Cons: Not found

Opinion: I state that I do not consider it so much a portrait lens, for that there is the 56mm which is definitely more specific. In my opinion is a lens designed for reportage, travel or street, a bit like the whole series F2. Amazing quality as traditionally make it perfect for those who like to be light; It really weighs nothing, you take it anywhere and the plus of the tropicalized it makes it tempting. Construction and retail care that those who use the Fuji system know well. If purchased with awareness is a definite lens, if you are portrait purists and look for the best bokeh aiming at other (56 or 90).

Pros: Construction, weight, speed of AF, price, image quality

Cons: Perhaps the focal length, perhaps the fact of having "close" lenses superior

Opinion: Tried for 3 hours at Firenze Photo Marathon, with over 100 photos taken I can confirm that the build quality is excellent as the whole series F2 WR, it is very light that seems not to have it, good for the street. Even the optical quality of the image is really high. So what is the problem? I think there is no if you do the purchase with awareness. The 50mm becomes a 75mm EQ, focal that could be used for street and portraiture and narrow portraits in interiors also thanks to the only 39cm of minimum focusing distance. -Sure for street you could prefer the 18F2 or the F2 WR series The 23mm (35 eq) and the 35mm (50 eq) Perhaps more suitable as a field angle, also tropicalized and with AF super responsive and with a similar price. -From a purely ritrattistico point of view Fuji itself offers the 56mm F 1.2 R that will make a lot of throat to those who love this kind of photo and the 90mm F2 WR, of course the second is a 135 EQ so well distant to the 75 EQ, these two lenses cost twice the 50mm but it is also true That in the world of used can find them on 600 euros and maybe still under warranty (as it happened to me that I chose the end of the 56mm). -Another consideration is that the 50mm focal is full of vintage that while being MF can offer another alternative to buying the Fuji, especially on the portraiture side, I think of the Zeiss Planar F 1.7, at the Minolta Rokkor F 1.4, at the Pentax Takumar F 1.4 that prowl On the 80-100 euros or the most expensive Zeiss Planar F 1.4 (180-200 euros) and the Leitz Summicron F2 (optics owned, really nice that is on 220-300 euros depending on the conditions). So surely the 50mm F2 WR is a lens that if taken for street-reportage more journalistic background than pure ritrattistico, to be combined with the excellent 23mm F2 WR or at 18mm F2 allows you to have a very light kit, almost do not feel it in the neck and in the first case also tropical I feel that together with Xpro2 and XT2 create a nice system, but that is more perfect for smaller camera bodies, I think of xt20 etc. Personally during its use I was thrilled, I was almost convinced to take it and then have a kit 23 + 50 + 90/55-200 but in the end cause excellent offer and predilection of portraits for my photographic style I opted for the 56 recreating the pair 23 + 56 = 35 + 85 EQ . With the possibility to extend the kit in the future (I strongly estimate the 14mm F 2.8, the 80mm f 2.8 Macro and the 55-200).

Pros: Construction, blurred, friction ring, nitido.Af

Cons: For the moment no one, perhaps the more plastic hood ..

Opinion: Purchased just presented, a lens that follows the construction of 35 f2, I have, at the moment nothing to say, nice blurred in f2.la ring is more friction of previous lines, lens hood plastica.le sizes are always contenute.Af quickly and accurately In short the consiglio.che say I have chosen him because f2 series has a deadly Af
