![]() ![]() Here are some sample images shot with the prototype Fujifilm 56mm f1.2 R WR that we used on the XH2. Fujifilm’s autofocus system still isn’t as simple to use as other manufacturers’ but it’s effective in its own way.īest of all, eyelash-AF didn’t seem to happen here. With the pace that I shoot at though, I ended up setting the camera to the AF-C mode, choosing a large area, setting that to around the subject’s face, and then letting the camera track the subject. It was able to find the subject pretty easily. I did a few tests where I set the camera to face detection and wide area AF. ![]() On the Fujifilm XH2, I was impressed with how responsive the Fujifilm 56mm f1.2 R WR lens is. Further, if you’re using the XH2 and its more DSLR-style of ergonomics, you’ll probably set the aperture ring to A-mode and let the camera take over. With that said, I think folks who like retro ergonomics would like the Fujifilm 56mm f1.2 R WR. A former staffer would never use it, but they weren’t as experienced as our current staff. I’ve seen the it throw off a couple of photographers. Ease of Useįolks who aren’t used to Fujifilm lenses probably won’t care much for the aperture ring. However, I’m confident it would be similar to the 50mm f1, but smaller and a bit fatter. We use it only on the XH2, so we can’t say how it would feel on the X Pro 3. The models were all compensated by Fujifilm.Īside from the weather resistance, there’s also the fact that it simply just feels good in the hand. I chose not to stay in a hotel as I live in NYC. Many of us were flown in from around the world and put in hotels paid for by Fujifilm. We had a feeling it was coming for a while too, but we didn’t expect to like this lens as much, especially at the very affordable price point.Įditor’s Note: This coverage is thanks to Fujifilm working with the international press. When we were briefed on the lens, I stated it’s arguably the most exciting thing about the recent announcement. To boot, the new Fujifilm 56mm f1.2 R WR is also weather resistant and not that large. Perhaps it’s the new Fujifilm XH2’s color from the 40MP sensor, but this lens delivers colors I could only dream of. ![]() Fujifilm said they revamped the optics to make it focus faster and make it sharper. Yet, with this new lens, I’m finding something pretty gorgeous. In fact, I sold it to someone along with my XH1 for a cheap price because I wanted to get rid of it. We’re looking forward to taking the X-H2, XF56mm f/1.2 R WR and GF20-35mm f/4 R WR and more for a spin during our stay at Fuji’s X-Summit, so look out for more updates and hands-on first impressions on TechRadar.I could never fall in love with the original Fujifilm 56mm f1.2 R lens. It isn’t super-light at 725g, but that’s also not too back-bothering for a zoom lens with a constant f/4 aperture. If you shoot portraits, the new XF56mm f/1.2 R WR, a sequel to Fuji’s much-loved original XF56mm, promises (on paper) to be a killer lens for cameras in the X-H and X-T series.Īlready made the jump to medium format? The GF20-35mm f/4 R WR promise to be a crucial new lens for Fuji’s GFX system, as it offers an equivalent focal range of 16mm-28mm (in 35mm terms). Those who are already happy with their Fuji bodies might instead be tempted by the two new lenses we’ve seen launch at the X Summit. While few videographers will shoot in 8K, many will like the idea of doubling their focal length by cropping into a 4K shot or downsampling from that resolution to produced detailed footage. The same goes for the X-H2’s video, which trumps the X-H2S by offering 8K resolution. That 'pixel shift' mode may only be suitable for shooting static scenes like architecture, but it promises to push APS-C cameras into new territory for fine detail in good light. You can read all our first impressions in our hands-on Fujifilm X-H2 review. The X-H2 is the world’s first APS-C camera with a 40MP sensor, and also the first X-series model to have a ‘Pixel Shift’ mode, which promises to create 160MP images from multiple shots. It’s been a big event for photographers of all kinds, but particularly Fuji snappers whose priority is high resolution and spades of detail, rather than speed. We’re reporting live from the Fuji X-Summit, which has also seen the announcement of the much-anticipated XF56mm f/1.2 R WR prime lens and a new wide-angle zoom for the medium format GFX series. It’s official: the Fujifilm X-H2 is the new 40MP flagship sibling of the recent X-H2S and is the highest-resolution camera we’ve seen so far in the X-series. ![]()
