Review VerdictYou have to commend Fujifilm for delivering such a lens. The design problems were probably hellish here. From a real-world perspective, the Fujinon XF 50mm f/1 R WR is very usable at f/1 because the center quality is actually plenty sharp. The outer image field field is a different story but the use cases for corner-to-corner sharpness are rather exotic at this setting. If you require very sharp results, the lens is still capable of doing so from f/4 onward. The vignetting is a tad high at f/1 although you can argue that this is of artistic benefit here. Image distortions are not a big deal. The (background-)bokeh is buttery at large apertures. You may spot some LoCAs in critical scenes, though. The build quality is exceptionally high as you can expect from a lens in this price category. However, Fujifilm should really work on its AF motors. Both this XF 50mm f/1 R WR as well as the XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR still rely on a dated DC motor. They have delivered linear AF motors (LM) in other lenses, so it's about time to leave the past behind here. As engineering showcases go, the Fujinon XF 50mm f/1 R WR certainly delivers. However, in the real world it's surely an overkill for most users. Yes, it has some unique characteristics but you can get almost the same results with a much more affordable 56mm f/1.2 lens. Still, there's no substitution for speed other than more speed. Support us by shopping at: * Amazon US * Amazon Europe * B&H * Adorama * KEH (used gear)
