I've been following you for ages and like you videos, keep it up. But dam you sir dam you a second time. The 56mm1.4 w/r is by for my fav lens, it is just wonderful and blows me away with the photos I can get from it. I dam you for putting up this videa because at the moment I am on a cycle tour from Mexico to Argentina and what do you know about a week ago while taking pictures of a volcano in Nicaragua 3 guys stopped and robbed me :-( Gone is my XT-4 and my loved 56mm. Cheers for putting up this video (dam you). Can't wait to get another one :-)
Thank you for the long time follow. I am so sorry to hear that you got robbed. I hope that you have insurance or that the people who did that get arrested and that you get your gear back! You did not get hurt also I hope?
@@ThierryGibralta I'm all good thanks, just insurance for breakages not for theft, I will never learn. So it's back the the UK for me and an upgrade to the XT5, and another 56mm, very much my fav lens.
Returned mine immediately. Much too loud and too slow. Unacceptable at this price point for me. Waited such a long time for it to replace my 50/1.0. The Viltrox 75/1.2 isn't as noisy.
I use this lens to get beautiful pristine results out of the camera, and instead of switching to a wider focal length I'll often try to make panoramas with the 56. The lack of linear motors is disappointing, but they claim that the focus group moves 8 elements, which probably affected their decision. I heard that the Viltrox's 75 is even sharper, but that lens weighs 50% more than Fuji's 56, and the 56 is already pushing my comfort limit at 445g.
Weight is definitely a big factor for myself as well. I don't want to buy a lens if I know I won't want to use if it slows me down. Mobility is a big factor.
You wanna say 1.2 ? I have the Sigma 56 1.4, it’s good but not the same league that this one, particularly on colors. Kudos for this purchase really. 👍
I just bought this. At first I didnt like it and regretted to buy it instead of 35mm. it too close. But after few days of experience, it really amazing. I love it and always bring and use it for most of the time. Good: sharp nice photo, nice light, nice aperture!! Bad: focus quite bad. Not good for photography and video
What do you think about the XF56mmf1.4?
happy medium 🔥📸🔥
What I don't like on this 56 v2, is that the focus ring is too smooth and sensitive. On the 18, 33 is much stronger and more viscous.
how do u compare it with sigma 56mm?
technically the best lens in the fuji lineup. would have been perfect with the LM motor
I love this lens!!!
omedetou!

Glad to hear you are ok@@barrywarner455 .Take care!
56 mm 1.2 WR is my favourite lens for family events paired up with X-T5 . Best made purchase for unforgettable memories .
Love this lens!
One that produces beautiful images. A lot more to test though!

Welcome to the 56mm club buddy! Love that lens and as you said is only for special occasions

Stunning pictures 👍
