The XF56mm F1.2 R WR is a fast mid-telephoto prime lens that consists of 13 elements in eight groups including one ED element and two aspherical elements to achieve improved image-resolving performance over the previous model. Generous eight elements are used in the focusing group to minimize chromatic aberration, spherical aberration and comatic aberration to produce advanced image-resolving capability from MOD to infinity. The minimum focusing distance is reduced to just 50cm from the sensor surface, 20cm shorter than the previous model. The aspherical elements are also processed at higher precision to reduce the onion-ring effect in bokeh.
The shallow depth-of-field attributable to the F1.2 open aperture is enhanced further thanks to the shorter minimum focusing distance in close-up photography. The lens composition that generously uses aspherical, ED and high refractive elements minimizes various types of aberration and delivers beautiful bokeh. The new model has a significantly improved resolving capability in MOD compared to the previous model so that users can take maximum advantage of XF56mmF1.2 R WR’s advanced image resolution and creamy bokeh.
Every aspect of XF56mmF1.2 R WR has been precisely engineered to deliver images with clarity and detail. The optical design, which incorporates a focusing group comprised of aspherical and ED elements, minimizes chromatic and comatic aberrations. It also reduces the curvature of the image plane at close range, which means the reduction in close focusing distance from 70cm (27.56in) to 50cm (19.69in) will have little to no effect on overall image quality, despite the shorter distance from the lens to the subject. Offering an equivalent 35mm focal length of an 85mm lens, its fast maximum aperture delivers precise control over depth-of-field and beautiful bokeh effects, while its optical construction produces high resolution, aberration-free results packed with detail and color. Harness the versatility of the latest X-Trans sensors and unleash your creativity.
Exceptional image quality, frame after frame
XF56mmF1.2 R WR is comprised of 13 elements in eight groups, including one ED and two aspherical elements. The eight elements used in the focusing group take high-refractive technology from FUJINON Cinema Lenses to minimize chromatic, spherical, and comatic aberrations. This helps to reduce light bleed within highlights, boosting image quality and subject detail in the process.
Circular aperture delivers beautiful bokeh
XF56mmF1.2 R WR is the first X Mount lens to feature 11 diaphragm blades, which results in a clean, almost perfectly circular aperture, even at F4 or F5.6. The result is a clean edge along a highlight, with minimal aberrations and distractions, that is especially pleasing when it is out of focus. This means there There is no comparison to XF56mmF1.2 R WR when it is used wide open. Images have a level of clarity and detail that is only matched by the wonderfully smooth bokeh found in areas with shallow depth of field. Busy backgrounds melt away from their subjects and create an isolating effect that cannot be emulated or replicated by any other lens.
Optimized handling keeps the focus on creativity
The aperture ring on XF56mmF1.2 R WR features an A position lock to prevent unwanted movement of the aperture ring, while also enabling control of the lens’s aperture setting through using a command dial on an X Series camera body. Manual focus control has also been optimized to make achieving accurate focus simple and easy. This is particularly useful when making images with minimal depth-of-field. Lastly, the DC autofocus motor has been modified to reduce friction, resulting in focus being achieved quickly and accurately.
Stay creative in all conditions
Creativity never stops, and neither does XF56mmF1.2 R WR. It uses nine rubber seals to keep it protected from dust and moisture, while also maintaining full functionality in temperatures as low as -10°C (14°F). The fluorine-coated front element, meanwhile, repels water, fingerprints, and other marks to help keep image quality high when the weather turns against you.
