As for the AF, Jonas Rask said the 56mm F1.2 WR AF is "plenty fast, leaps and bounds better than the old one". I haven't found much about the AF vs the 50mm F1 yet surely it'll be faster than that one though. Icing on the cake. These new Fuji APS-C lenses are really amazing, they remind me of the GF lenses, just insanely sharp and without flaws. I've used a lot of Sigma glass over the years, and I have the Fuji 56 f1.2. There's honestly not a lot of difference between the two in terms of reach, however the 56mm will give you that tighter field of view that portrait photographers love. The extra stop you gain with the wider aperture will be helpful in darker shooting conditions, and FUJINON XF56mmF1.2 R WR: Lens configuration: 13 elements in 8 groups (includes 2 aspherical and 1 ED elements) Focal length: f=56mm(85mm) Angle of view: 28.5° Max. aperture: F1.2: Min. aperture: F16: Aperture control: Number of blades: 11(rounded diaphragm opening) Step size: 1/3EV (23steps,1/2EV for last stop to maximum aperture only) This is an in-depth review of the Fujifilm XF 50mm f/2 R WR lens. Announced in January 2017, the lens is the third in the line of compact, and weather-sealed f/2 lenses made for Fuji’s line of X-series cameras. It joins its XF 23mm and 35mm cousins. This short telephoto (76mm full-frame equivalent) is about half the size and weight of Fujifilm’s 56 mm f/1.2 R lens, and also half the cost Here is a comparison chart of a few of the other Sigma 56mm lens mounts, compared to the brand lens in terms of price: Brand name price (USD$) Sigma price (USD$) Fuji f/1.2 $999. Sigma f/1.4 $419. Canon EF-M – doesn’t exist but the RF f/1.2 one is $2099. Sigma EF-M $379. Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM Lens $1995. After reading many reviews and opinions between these two lenses, I dumped my 56mm 1.2 and replaced it with the much faster focusing 50mm f/2. What a mistake that was! I really enjoyed the 56mm lens, and it stayed attached to my camera come portrait season, but I was unable to hand-hold the lens during the golden hour and get sharp photos. As I mentioned earlier, the lens is available in Fuji X / Sony E / Nikon Z / and Canon EF-M mount. For this review, I will be looking at the Nikon Z mount version of this lens. Size & Weight. The 56mm f/1.4 lens tips the scales at 11.3 oz / 320 g and it has physical dimensions of (ø x L) 2.6 x 2.8″ / 65 x 72 mm. 3ej4jsF.
