Every aspect of the XF56mm f/1.2 R WR lens is precisely engineered to deliver clarity. A fast maximum aperture delivers precise control over depth-of-field and beautifully soft background bokeh, while its optical construction produces high resolution, aberration-free results packed with detail and colour. When used wide open, at shallow depth-of-field, busy backgrounds melt away from their subjects and create an isolating effect. It’s a great option for still-life and street subjects, as well as portraits and weddings. From magic hour moments and night shots, to urban landscapes utilising that shallow depth of field, this compact and lightweight lens can be at the heart of the photographer’s creative journey.

Key features:

• Optical design with 13 elements in 8 groups gives supreme resolving power
• Two aspherical and one ED elements minimise chromatic and comatic aberrations
• The first X Mount lens to feature 11 diaphragm blades, which results in a clean, almost perfectly circular aperture
• Weather-resistant: Nine rubber seals keep it protected from dust and moisture, while ensuring operation in temperatures as low as -10°C
• A fluorine-coated front element repels water, fingerprints, and dust.
