FUJIFILM FUJINON XF 56mm F1.2 R APD

Fast aperture medium telephotos with stunning bokeh.

The fast F1.2 lens creates creamy bokeh, and its 56mm focal length, equivalent to 85mm in 35mm film format, ensures a comfortable shooting distance from your subject. X-series cameras have earned a solid reputation for faithful reproduction of skin tones, and when combined with this lens, they produce the best results for portrait photography. The built-in APD filter, the pinnacle of Fujifilm nanotechnology, creates even smoother bokeh, making your subject stand out even more and increasing creativity not only in portraits but also in a wide range of other subjects.

Apodization filter creates more creative portraits

The FUJINON LENS XF56mmF1.2 R APD offers excellent sharpness levels even when shooting with the F1.2 aperture. In addition, the apodization filter smooths out the contours of the bokeh. This combination of image sharpness and beautiful bokeh gives portraits a three-dimensional feel.

An optical construction consisting of 11 glass elements arranged in 8 groups is employed, including one aspherical glass lens element and two extra-low dispersion lens elements. Spherical aberrations are corrected by the aspherical glass element to ensure high resolution at maximum aperture. In addition, the combination of two extra-low dispersion lens elements and three cemented lens elements greatly reduces chromatic aberrations.

By using a unique Fujifilm HT-EBC (high-transmission electron beam coating) on all lens surfaces, ghosting and flare are controlled for sharp and clear results.

In addition, the lens makes full use of the unique Fujifilm X-Trans™*1 CMOS sensor without low-pass filters to achieve extremely high image quality. Image and flash control are maintained even in harsh conditions such as backlighting.

Combining this lens with the X-series camera's korpusu*2 with Lens Modulation optimizavimo*3 (LMO) technology further enhances the lens's performance. LMO corrects the difrakciją*4 to produce edge-to-edge sharp images and create a realistic three-dimensional effect, even at small apertures.

Autofocus for lens with apodization filter

Previously, an apodization filter was only used in a manual focus lens, this is the first to use high-precision contrast AF.

Combined with an X-series camera body, it is possible to capture more natural shots of subjects thanks to the near-silent shutter sound.

Film-like effects with Film Simulation

X-series interchangeable lens cameras feature Film Simulation modes that have been developed using "Fujifilm" knowledge gained over 80 years of production to ensure the colors and tones of film. When combined with this lens, Pro Neg. Film Simulation mode, specially designed for portrait photography, reproduces beautiful skin tones.

High assembly quality and convenient operation

The apodization filter provides the best results at wider apertures. To enable wide apertures to be used even in bright environments, there is an ND filter that adjusts the brightness in three levels. To demonstrate the apodization effect, the lens has an aperture ring that displays the effective F-number in red. The difference between the F-number and the effective F-number indicates the effectiveness of the apodization filter.

Both the focus and aperture rings are made of metal, and metal is also used on the exterior of the lens barrel for a high-quality finish. The rings' texture and torque allow for comfortable shooting even during delicate manual focusing.
