Fujifilm's updated weather-resistant 85mm equiv portrait prime — f/1.2 with linear motor AF and WR.
The Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR is the weather-resistant update of Fujifilm's beloved portrait prime, providing 85mm equivalent at f/1.2. The WR version adds weather sealing and significantly faster linear motor AF over the original, making it the definitive X-mount portrait lens.
Optically outstanding — tack-sharp from f/1.2 in the centre with exquisite bokeh rendering. The f/1.2 aperture provides extraordinary subject separation on APS-C — comparable to f/1.8 on full-frame. Linear motor AF is dramatically faster than the original's DC motor.
Fujifilm X mount with 67mm filter thread. Weighs 445g. Weather-resistant and freeze-proof construction. Minimum focus distance 50cm. Aperture ring with 1/3-stop clicks. 11 rounded aperture blades for smooth bokeh. Metal construction.
Available used at mid-range to professional prices. The original XF 56mm f/1.2 R is cheaper but lacks weather sealing and has slower AF. The Viltrox 56mm f/1.4 is a budget alternative. The WR version is the one to buy for serious portrait work on Fujifilm X-mount.
