![[ENG] FUJIFILM 56mm F1.2 R WR - Initial Review](/img/n.gif)
AGREED! Fuji needs a 56mm f1.4 LM WR! [or f1.6]
Such a special lens - sadly, I don't have a ton of models to shoot portraits with this lens, but my LinkedIn headshot work is incredible with this lens. Love the NYC photos so much man!!!!
Truly is a quality lens! When you visit NYC, we will go out shooting my friend!
My advice is set the lens on limit focus for the first 6 1/2 feet to infinity!
I picked up the old version for 350£ as everyone's selling them cheap to upgrade to this one lol. As a hobby shooter who just wants some nice portraits of my family that's all good for me. Big up from England.
This is a pretty slick move if I do say so myself! What's your camera body?
If you don't need reliable, fast, confident and silent AF, the old 56/1.2 is a good choice.
@@lumberjack3008 Very true. But from what I've researched, the new one is a bit sharper too. If on XH2s, not an issue.
@@lumberjack3008 The AF of the old 56 f/1.2 is very reliable. It just isn't fast. Good for models that know how to pose. Not good for children running around.
That bokeh is insane at f1.2
Wait till you see it side by side compared to the GF110!
@@MikeBanom When will this happen?
@@sebastiang7183 next week!
nice review . i after finding this lens 2nd hand for 800 euro in mint condition so i think its a good price saving of 400 euro here in Ireland . this lens was not on my radar as i am only a hobbyist i was looking at the 50 mm f2 but i think the price on the 56 is too good to turn down ,
Sounds like a must buy for that price! I think you'll love this lens for sure!
Returned mine immediately after testing it. AF too loud, too slow. Very disappointing.
Staying with the 50/1.0.
Assuming the 50/1 has way faster AF? I never tried that lens, but would love to!
@@MikeBanom no, it's not faster, but I waited quite a long time for a fast portrait lens with fast (and silent!) AF. Replacing it makes no sense. Since I have the Viltrox 75/1.2, I prefer it over the 50/1.0, as it is silent. And sharp. Perhaps I am selling the 50/1.0 now.
