Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR Lens (Black)

– The lens design, consisting of 13 elements in eight groups including two aspherical elements and one ED element, suppresses various types of aberration including chromatic aberration and spherical aberration to achieve edge-to-edge image sharpness and creamy bokeh that goes off-focus smoothly from the focal plane into the background.
– The focusing group contains a total of eight elements including three high refractive elements, typically used in cinema camera lenses, to suppress aberration fluctuation to maintain premium image quality from MOD to infinity.
– This is the first Fujifilm lens for mirrorless digital cameras to use 11 diaphragm blades to achieve a near-perfect circle in the aperture, better than the previous model. The aspherical elements are produced with a metal mold processed in advanced precision to the tune of one hundred-thousandth of a millimeter to suppress the onion-ring effect in bokeh, demonstrating Fujifilm’s commitment to creating beautiful bokeh.

– The new lens, with the mid-telephoto 56mm focal length (equivalent to 85mm in the 35mm format) and the maximum aperture of F1.2, is a perfect choice for portraiture to give clear separation to the subject from its background.
– Minimum focusing distance has been reduced to just 50cm, some 20cm shorter than the previous model. The reduced distance constraint in relation to the subject allows users to enjoy a greater variety of photographic situations such as tabletop photography and snapshots.

– The lens uses a DC motor, suitable for driving large elements. It can precisely drive the focusing group, consisting of eight elements and aperture unit, to autofocus on the subject quickly and accurately. The advanced autofocusing capability ensures to capture decisive photo opportunities even when shooting with a shallow depth-of-field.
– The use of a bearing mechanism has successfully reduced friction that arises when the DC motor is driving lens elements, thereby effectively reducing motor noise.
