The XF56mm F1.2 R is less than half the size of an equivalent lens on a full-frame camera & offers fast, quiet autofocusing that ensures stress-free shooting for both the photographer & the model. It also delivers incredible resolving power for high quality results that are enhanced by the unique skin tone reproduction technology found in Fujifilms X-mount cameras. Using the XF56mm & selecting one of two PRO Negative modes from the Film Simulation menu on the camera body will ensure users can capture beautiful portraits with rich tonal gradations reminiscent of images from film cameras. Like all other lenses in the XF line up, the XF56mm F1.2 R is designed with an impressive attention to detail. It has a design that sits comfortably in the hand & exterior features including a metal aperture ring for a premium quality feel. Advanced optical design for professional portraits The lens new optical design featuring 11 elements in 8 groups delivers impressive results. The design
Includes:: two ED (extra low-dispersion) elements & one double-sided aspherical element, plus four elements with a convex surface facing the subject, which combine to reduce spherical & chromatic aberrations. They also ensure the best possible image resolution, even when the lens is at its widest aperture of f/1.2. Image quality is further enhanced by Fujifilms proprietary HT-EBC coating thats used on all lens surfaces to reduce ghosting & flare, while the seven-blade rounded diaphragm produces the creamy smooth bokeh effect thats become synonymous with XF series lenses. Attach the XF56mm F1.2 lens to a body that supports the Lens Modulation Optimiser & picture quality leaps even higher thanks to the automatic correction of diffraction when shooting at smaller apertures. Fast autofocus, silent operation The XF56mm F1.2 R combines an inner focus mechanism & a DC coreless motor for rapid autofocusing speeds, which are boosted further when used with a X-series camera body that supports phase detection AF. The structure & positioning of the focusing unit reduces sound & vibration for silent operation & with no lens barrel movement during focusing, the structure effectively prevents dust particles from getting into the lens & degrading picture quality. Premium build quality In keeping with the XF lens legacy, the 56mm F1.2 R features a durable, metal construction
- including the aperture & focusing rings
- to ensure a high quality feel. The aperture ring is designed to ensure its easy to detect clicks between f-stops, while the focusing ring is both comfortable in use & has the perfect amount of torque so its simple to focus precisely.
