Fujifilm XF 56mm F1.2 R WR II Lens

The Fujifilm XF 56mm f1.2R WR II Lens is a fast-apertured prime lens, perfect for portraiture and other similar photographic applications with Fujifilm X-Series mirrorless cameras. This Fujifilm prime lens features a premium optical design of 13 elements in 8 groups, which includes one ED and 2 Aspherical elements, as well as 3 high-refractive index elements. This helps the lens to acheive exceptional image quality and sharpness in a range of shooting scneraios. The bright f1.2 maximum aperture of this Fujifilm lens is not just excellent when shooting in very dark conditions but also creates stunning bokeh, which is particularly useful for budding portrait photographers. This lens is the first Fuji lens to use 11 diaphragm blades, which results in the out of focus areas being particularly striking in appearance.

The Fujifilm XF 56mm f1.2 R WR II lens is notable for its fast, quiet and incredibly accurate AF performance, made possible by the use of a DC motor. The minimal focus noise produced by this motor allows the lens to be used succesfully, not just for still photography but also for video recording and vlogging.

The Fujifilm XF 56mm f1.2 R WR II lens is not just notable for its optical design but also for its physical quality. The lens is portable and lightweight, weighing in at under 500 grams, while this light build does not mean the lens isn't tough; it is sealed in 9 places to provide dust and moisture resistance, and it can even operate down to -10 degrees Celcius. While studio portrait photographers will no doubt rush to mount this prime lens on their X-series mirrorless camera, it does not need to be replaced with a different optic when you step outdoors, no matter what the environmental conditions.

This lens is destined to be enjoyed by serious portrait photographers, thanks to its 85mm equivalent focal length and ultra-bright maximum aperture, which acheives excellent separation between your subject and the background, but it should not be thought of as just a portrait lens. A vast improvement has been made to the close-up performance of this lens, with a closest focus of just 0.5m, which means it can be put to use framing a variety of subjects from your day to day life.
