Very sharp. Capable of extremely shallow depth of field. APD filter smooths background blur. Physical aperture control. Minimal distortion.
APD filter limits light gathering. Expensive. Omits optical stabilization. Can be slow to focus
The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 R APD is a unique portrait lens that uses a special filter to smooth backgrounds, but it carries a hefty premium over the standard version of the lens....
tight, robust and sealed casing, excellent image quality in the frame centre, practically zero lateral chromatic aberration, proper control of the spherical aberration, zero distortion level, moderate astigmatism, fast, quiet and accurate autofocus
too weak image quality on the edge of the frame near the maximum relative aperture, too high level of longitudinal chromatic aberration, distinct vignetting, performance against bright light should have been better.
It is true that the Fujinon XF 56 mm f/1.2 R has many advantages – after all not every lens manages to break resolution records like it does. On the other hand the cons list consists of as many as four positions; taking into account the price of the 1.2/5...
Like the previous, non-APD 56mm lens, Fujifilm has really knocked it out of the park with another excellent optic for their popular X-mount cameras. Offering excellent, sharp images, with very low distortion, CA and vignetting, plus the "bokehlicious" ƒ/1...

Very sharp, Beautiful blur in the right conditions, Great build quality, Relatively affordable
Not compatible with phase-detect AF, Light transmission limited by one stop, Standard 56mm F1.2 is much cheaper, still great
For most people, we would say no. But don't get us wrong: This is undeniably an excellent lens, it just so happens that the standard version is equally excellent — objectively better in some ways, subjectively worse in others — and more affordable. If you...
If you enjoy shooting with fast prime lenses, the Fuji 56mm f/1.2 is an absolute blast. It provides exceptional bokeh and superb sharpness (under the right circumstances), and the control necessary to get the most out of that combo.The classic fast portra...
The Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 R is an interesting lens and Fuji is sure to do well with it. It is an important focal length for establishing oneself as a serious camera brand, because it is one that ‘serious photographers will want to use – and it has the ki...
Abstract: Fujifilm is one of the first names of photography, with a history that stretches back nearly a century. Photographers who are old enough to have used analog cameras best know the brand's film stocks-it served as Kodak's biggest rival prior to the digital...
