FUJIFILM XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR Lens

The FUJIFILM XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR is an exceptional choice for portrait photography, featuring a weather-sealed design that enhances its predecessor, the renowned 85mm equivalent lens. Notably recognized for its remarkably fast f/1.2 maximum aperture, this lens excels in subject isolation and delivers pleasing color rendition. This updated version incorporates an improved optical formula with the addition of aspherical elements in the focusing group, a significantly enhanced minimum focusing distance of 1.6 feet, and an 11-blade rounded aperture diaphragm that contributes to superior bokeh.

The optical configuration includes both aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements, effectively minimizing various aberrations, color fringing, and distortion, thereby ensuring exceptional sharpness and clarity. Additionally, a Super EBC coating is applied to mitigate flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast and color fidelity in challenging lighting conditions. The rounded eleven-blade diaphragm produces smooth and aesthetically pleasing out-of-focus highlights. Constructed entirely of metal, this lens is equipped with nine rubber seals to safeguard against dust and moisture, ensuring reliable performance even in temperatures as low as 14°F. Furthermore, the fluorine-coated front element is engineered to repel water, fingerprints, and other contaminants, thereby maintaining high image quality even in adverse weather conditions.

• Prime portrait-length lens is designed for APS-C-format Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless cameras and provides an 85mm equivalent focal length.
  
  
• This lens generates high-resolution images that are free from aberrations and rich in detail and color. It is particularly well-suited for portraits, weddings, and various creative endeavors that require meticulous control over depth-of-field. The XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR offers exceptional image-resolving capabilities, even at its minimum focusing distance of 1.6 feet, making it an excellent choice for portrait photography, as well as for table-top, product, and commercial photography applications.
  
  
• The optical design consists of 13 elements arranged in eight groups, featuring one ED element and two aspherical elements. The focusing group incorporates eight elements that utilize high-refractive technology derived from FUJINON Cinema Lenses, effectively reducing chromatic, spherical, and comatic aberrations. This design minimizes light bleed in highlight areas, thereby enhancing image quality and improving subject detail.
  
  
• Especially bright f/1.2 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and offers notable control over depth of field for using selective focus techniques.
  
  
• Super EBC coating has been applied to individual elements to reduce lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
  
  
• Rounded eleven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality to benefit the use of selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.
