Great camera lens and great pickup experience. This lens is telescoped lens, with large aperture it creates deep depth of field so you can focus on your model

Fantastic portrait lens! I use this to photograph tattoos and it works really well in low light.

I've owned a lot of 50-58mm lenses. If you get into adapted vintage lenses it's inevitable. Previously my favorites were Takumars and Meyer Optik Görlitz models with significant bokeh artifacts. Which I cherish for their idiosyncratic rendering, if the color and contrast are a bit faded. The Fuji 56mm is quite different. It brings to mind the legendary Canon 85mm f1.2 L. It somehow is razor sharp at f1.2 corner to corner yet equally characterful with great rendering, contrast, color and detail. Also like the Canon 85mm L it stumbles a bit at AF. Since it must throw a rather heavy mass back and forth when AF-ing. A couple years ago I got to try the new 50mm f1.0 and the 56mm f1.2 at a Fuji event. The 50mm was supposed to be the coveted new hotness. But I couldn't get past the depth of the images the 56mm gave me. In short, if it's an artistic image, this lens makes it just a little more artistic.

started using this and the 1.2 is phenomenal. Crisp images. A bit larger than what I expected, but great lens for a great price.

Super great service from Adorama per usual, Kevin is great! This lens is also amazing - bokeh is buttery smooth, lens is fast and produces some great shots. This is primarily the lens I use for fly fishing shots, would highly recommend.

Although a bit dated this lens still surprises me with its character and distinct looks, not clinical and sterile as Sony or Canon ones.

Amazing!! Everything came without issue. I've really enjoyed using the lens and also all the goodies that came with it

If you are doing any sort of serious portrait work in the Fuji X mount system, then this is the lens. The crispness and bokeh on this lens precedes itself so I don?t need to waffle on about it. One of the best x mount lenses around.

I bought this a long time ago, with my first Fuji camera. It's a great portrait lens, although I'd have to say that I almost never use it wide open; I generally stop it down to f2.8 or so in order to get both the subject's nose AND ears in focus at the same time. Well built and sharp, it has Fuji's earliest auto-focus motors, Focuses fairly quickly but with noticeable jerks and bumps. Funny that Fuji didn't fix this in the new version of the lens. The Fuji 60mm f2.5 is just as good for portraits, cheaper, and underappreciated.

I use this lens almost exclusively for portraits and headshots. Incredibly sharp and fast. It's also much smaller than the 85mm full frame equivalents I had with Canon without sacrificing quality. If I didn't shoot portraits and headshots, I don't think I would use it much, but if you do, get one.

The lens showed up as expected. No issues and ready to start shooting!

Very happy - a high quality lens paired with a high quality filter. The filter won?t compromise what you spent on the lens and will protect it. Lens is great on people.

Love this lens for portraits! Great to get soft background. Great lens quality too!

Love this lens and the extra items at no charge that I received. This is the perfect portrait lens or outdoor photography lens. its a must have

Dreamy. Beautiful. Magic. I love this lens. If you don't have the schmeckles to pull the trigger on the 50mm 1.0, this is your next best bet. It's heavy but in a good, substantial way. Super crisp north of 1.8. At 1.2 it's a little soft but wonderful in its own way. Highly recommend.

Beautiful results every time. Sharp and solid. Not weather sealed and not the fastest AF but still one of the best Fuji makes.

Super image quality as expected. Best in class "bokeh" as expected. A bit large and heavy (as expected). The best portrait lens in the Fuji X series line up IMO. The only drawback (for me) is the body of the lens consists almost entirely of the manual focus ring, which is great if you are a manual focus photographer. The fly by wire type manual focus was less preferred by me as I use auto focus for portraiture and found the focus ring to be a hindrance (for me anyway). It might be just what someone else really likes about it though.

It’s a great lens and I really wanted it and am satisfied but in retrospect I think instead of all the great primes I might have gone with the two expensive zoom lenses 16-55 and 55-140 instead.

This is the lens I’ve been needing to create beautiful portraits. It pairs perfectly with my Fujifilm XT3. The lens has fast focus capabilities and the images are sharp.

Really impressive lens. Highly recommend to all Fuji users

Very sharp lens. Focusing is a little slow but gives you depth of field almost as shallow as an 85 1.8 on full frame. On my X-T1 this lens lets the camera see in the dark. My complaint is the same as with any Fuji lens. Great quality but virtually any lens that gives you the same angle of view on full frame is less money.

Bokelicous! And nice and sharp. But slower, noisier and less consistent at focusing. Could use more aperture blades to keep bokeh-balls round when stopping down a little. Build isn’t built as tight has the small Fujicron f/2 lenses, either. When hand held, make sure to set minimum shutter speed to 1/80th or faster to prevent camera shake blur.

This len is the best I have right now. The quality compare to the xf 35 f2 or 18-55 f2.8-f4 is much better if you want to shot portrait.

I researched all of the fuji x-mount lens options and the 56mm 1.2 was a must have for me. Wow. It has not disappointed: Incredible bokeh, reasonable shooting distance from the subject, and great low light capability. This is some incredible glass.
