FUJINON 56mm F1.2 Review | Sven Schroeter

Its official, I dub the FUJINON 56mm F1.2 king of the hill and knight thy lens as one official BOKEH MONSTER! 85mm equivalent (after taking the 1.5 crop factor into account on the APSC sensor sized FUJI X series) is the stock standard focal length when it comes to portrait photography, hence there will be many dusting of their microscopes examining prints and pixel peeping to see if this lens sings our tune. 85mm has always been my favourite, I shot an entire Euro trip with the single Canon 85mm F1.2 in my kit . If this does not illustrate my passion for this field of view I do not know what will. The announcement of the 85mm focal length with a juicy aperture of F1.2 made this one hot tamales and object of desire world wide. I have been itching, tossing and turning for nights awaiting its arrival and finally it has landed on our shores! Lets consider the price, although it is currently the most expensive prime in the FUJINON lens range, there really is not a lot to complain about when you examine how much glass you get for your coin. Looking at the competition in both the Canon and Nikon camps, a lens of this calibre will easily set you back 2.5x the price of the FUJINON. However, with low cost (relatively speaking) comes the anxiety of performance. Luckily the recent prime lens releases (14mm f2.8, 24mm f1.4) from FUJINON have been singing a tune sweeter than the high notes a alter boy hits during mass. We can only pray for history to repeat itself with the new release of the 56mm…..
