Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R APD Lens Summary

This short telephoto lens from Fujifilm is designed for the accomplished  and provides a focal length equivalent to 85mm. This lens offers brilliant levels of sharpness, even when shooting with the aperture wide open at f/1.2 and produces smooth, buttery bokeh, which gives portraits a 3D feel.

An Apodisation filter delivers more creative portraits

The XF56mm F1.2 R APD offers brilliant levels of sharpness even when shooting with the aperture at f/1.2. In addition, the apodisation filter smooth. This the bokeh outlines. This combination of image sharpness and beautiful bokeh delivers portraits with a three-dimensional feel.

An optical construction of 11 glass elements in eight groups, including one aspherical glass moulded lens element and two extra low dispersion lens elements has been used. Spherical aberrations are corrected by the aspherical glass element to deliver high resolution at the maximum aperture setting. Additionally, thanks to the combination of two extra-low dispersion lens elements and three cemented lens elements, chromatic aberrations are greatly reduced.

By applying Fujifilm’s unique HT-EBC (High Transmittance Electron Beam Coating) to all lens surfaces, ghosting and flare are controlled for sharp, clear results.

The lens also makes the most of Fujifilm’s unique X-Trans CMOS low pass filter-less sensor for extremely high image quality. Ghosting and flare are controlled even under harsh conditions such as backlighting.

By combining this lens with an X Series camera body with Lens Modulation Optimiser (LMO) technology, the performance from the lens is improved even further. LMO corrects for diffraction to produce images with edge-to-edge sharpness and create a realistic three-dimensional effect, even at small apertures.

Autofocusing for a lens with an apodisation filter

In the past, an apodisation filter has only been used on a manual focus lens, this is the first to use high-precision contrast AF. Combined with an X Series camera body, more natural shots of subjects are possible thanks to the near-silent shutter sound. This is one of the highest quality lenses available at this focal width in the .
