A completely redesigned version of the Fuji XF 56mm F1.2 lens!
The previous Fuji 56mm F1.2 lens was already a great portrait lens in terms of image quality. Designing and manufacturing lenses is laborious and you don't start the process unless you can really get better with the new lens. Now Fuji has had such a moment and has made a good thing even better.
The biggest change is improved sharpness, to get the most out of the new Fuji bodies. The 40 megapixels of the Fuji X-H2 sensor place completely different demands on the lens. However, in portrait photography, sharpness is not everything, the image has to look good, i.e. the transition from sharp to blurred background has to be beautifully smooth. The Fuji XF 56mm is designed for both.
In addition, the optical design and focusing lens element have been positioned to ensure excellent sharpness at all focusing distances. The closest focusing distance has also been reduced by 20 cm to 50 cm.
The official name of the lens is Fujifilm Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR, but we have added the II version number that Fuji also uses. Otherwise, the only difference from the old one would be WR. From this we can conclude that this new version is weather-sealed.
