If you are a portrait photographer invested in the Fujifilm X system or interested in adding a Fujifilm X system camera to your arsenal, the 56mm f/1.2 R is a must have. It lives up to the hype and works as a top tier portrait lens with fantastic out of focus area rendering.
Fujifilm has two 56mm lenses for their X Series cameras, and although the APD is near identical in spec, it's hiding a secret its rivals can't compete with... APD stands for apodization filter, an inclusion that makes the bokeh smoother than a regular lens.
The 56mm F1.2 R APD is a very special lens, but it lacks practicality.
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
Bottom line? The Fujifilm 56mm f1.2 is another great quality lens for the X-series. It's a confidently-built, optically superb, well-priced for a lens of its class and exploits the latest body technologies to deliver crisp details into the corners and effective tracking of moving subjects.
Superb quality; Sharp right into the corners at f1.2, f1.2 focal ratio delivers very shallow depth of field with nice bokeh, f1.2 focal ratio great in low light: gathers twice as much light as f1.8 lens, Very well-corrected optics with minimal vignetting, coma or CA, Great build quality and lens...
Current X-series bodies limit use at f1.2 with 1/4000 maximum shutter; Modest closest focusing distance of 0.7m means it's no macro lens; Blurred specular highlights rendered as heptagons as aperture closes; No optical stabilisation; so hold steady; No weather-sealing
Beautiful lens for portraits, excellent build quality. Autofocus is a little slow but no regrets.

Fantastic build quality, this is my fav lens!
This lens was optimized for center sharpness wide open and it is important to note that this is what it was primariy designed for. It is rather successful because at F1.2, you get a pleasant bokeh and decent background / foreground blur, while not having to manage the thinest depth of field like you...

Photographers who shoot with the Fujifilm mirrorless camera system have a distinct choice to make when shopping for a short telephoto prime lens. The company sells two versions of its 56mm prime—this Fujinon XF 56mm F1.2 R ($999.95) and the Fujinon XF 56mm F1.2 R APD ( at Amazon) . It's not just the cost of printing APD on the lens that carries a $500 premium—the apodization filter included in the pricier lens promises to smooth the defocused parts of an image for a more pleasing bokeh. Whether or not that's worth it to you is something you have to decide for yourself—either lens is able to capture sharp photos with a staggeringly shallow depth of field with ease. But neither quite matches our Editors' Choice short telephoto lens for the Fuji system, the longer Fujinon XF 90mm F2 R LM WR ($949.00 at Amazon) . DesignLike most Fujinon lenses, the XF 56mm ($999.00 at Amazon) has a premium feel; its metal barrel and physical apeture ring play a big part in that. It's a squat lens, me...
The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 56mm F1.2 R has more light-gathering capability than any lens in the Fuji mirrorless system, and captures images with crisp details.
Quite sharp; Capable of extremely shallow depth of field; Physical aperture control; Minimal distortion; Even illumination
Can be slow to focus; Omits optical image stabilization; Manual focus by wire; Not weather-resistant
