Fujinon XF 56mm F1.2 R WR Image Quality:

As you’ll be able to see from these images, the lens is able to deliver impressive levels of detail and sharp crisp images, with excellent resolving detail even into the corners of the frame. In addition, with a bright f1.2 aperture, the lens offers pleasing subject separation, as well as giving the photographer the ability to shoot in low-light conditions. Bokeh (blur in out of focus areas) is extremely pleasing, with smooth fall-off, and clean edges around the “bokeh balls”. The closer focus distance of 50cm is also extremely useful, and even when shooting at this distance, detail remains very good.

With such impressive performance, it’s likely this lens will be high on the list of the best Fujifilm X-Mount lenses.
