This is an excellent lens for portrait photography. It performs well in all the lighting situations I’ve tried it in so far. It seems to be well built. The one thing—that I would necessarily consider a downside, but should be mentioned— is that this is a fixed lens. Anyone used to a zoom lens will have a bit of trouble at first, and will need to back up frequently to find the right shot. The glass in this thing makes up for the bit of extra work by producing beautifully crisp images.

My sharpest prime that I have ever owned. great size, and professional. Maybe just a bit too expensive, but I think its the going rate of any good glass.

If you need a short telephoto or portrait lens for your Fuji X camera you should look no further. The 1.2 aperure and pleasant bokeh make this a must have. The size and weight are more than the shorter lenses but it is not awkward or comfortable

First thing, this lens is rather big and heavy, not like its smaller brother, XF 35mm/F1.4 but most of its weigh comes from the lens which are large. The autofocus with X-T10 is ok, not terrible, not exceptional. But image sharpness is quite great. Even at wide open (F1.2), it's sharp. Highly recommended for all fuji users.

The Fuji XF 56 mm f/1.2 lens is an amazing 85mm equivalent lens, perfect for portraits. I love the transition between sharp tack in-focus areas and the creamy bokeh in backgrounds. Focus is accurate and relatively fast, and though the lens is heavy it balances well on my Fuji X-T1 body.
