Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R Lens Fujifilm

The Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R Lens is a fast f/1.2 lens with a focal length of 85mm that delivers beautiful background bokeh, making it ideal for portraiture. This Fuji lens has an incredible resolving power thanks to a new optical design featuring 11 elements in 8 groups. Two ED (extra-low dispersion) elements and one double-sided aspherical element are used to control spherical and chromatic aberrations, while a further four of the elements feature convex surfaces to ensure excellent light coverage, even when shooting wide open. Like other XF lenses, the XF 56mm f/1.2 R is designed to be comfortable in use and has a premium quality look and feel.

The XF 56mm f/1.2 R is less than half the size of an equivalent lens on a full-frame camera and offers fast, quiet autofocusing that ensures stress-free shooting for both the photographer and the model. It also delivers incredible resolving power for high quality results that are enhanced by the unique skin tone reproduction technology found in Fujifilm’s X-mount cameras. Using the XF 56mm and selecting one of two PRO Negative modes from the Film Simulation menu on the camera body will ensure users can capture beautiful portraits with rich tonal gradations reminiscent of images from film cameras.

Enhanced Image Quality
Image quality is further enhanced by Fujifilm’s proprietary HT-EBC coating that’s used on all lens surfaces to reduce ghosting and flare, while the seven-blade rounded diaphragm produces the creamy smooth bokeh effect that’s become synonymous with XF series lenses. Attach the XF 56mm f/1.2 R lens to a body that supports the Lens Modulation Optimizer and picture quality leaps even higher thanks to the automatic correction of diffraction when shooting at smaller apertures.

Fast Autofocus and Silent Operation
The XF 56mm f/1.2 R combines an inner focus mechanism 4 and a DC coreless motor for rapid autofocusing speeds, which are boosted further when used with a X-series camera body that supports phase detection AF. The structure and positioning of the focusing unit reduces sound and vibration for silent operation and with no lens barrel movement during focusing, the structure effectively prevents dust particles from getting into the lens and degrading picture quality.

Premium Quality Build
In keeping with the XF lens legacy, the 56mm f/1.2 R features a durable, metal construction — including the aperture and focusing rings — to ensure a high quality feel. The aperture ring is designed to ensure it’s easy to detect ‘clicks’ between f-stops, while the focusing ring is both comfortable in use and has the perfect amount of torque so it’s simple to focus precisely.
