Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R APD

The original XF 56mm f/1.2 with an apodization filter built in, which softens the edges of out-of-focus highlights for exceptionally smooth bokeh at the cost of about a stop of light. An 85mm-equivalent portrait lens with DC-motor AF and no sealing; now discontinued in favour of the 56mm f/1.2 R WR.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
