Hi George, It was a great share! I have been learning a lot about cameras and lenses from your channel, and they have been extremely helpful. My nephew loves them, and I share your videos with him as well. He loves them as well. It has become a way for us to connect with each other. A big thanks for sharing this video with us, it was a great watch!
The new 56mm f/1.2 R WR is a closer match to the 50mm f/1. The image quality of the new 56mm is amazing but still suffers from poor autofocus, really a miss chance to put LM focusing motor in that lens. I ended up returning the 56mm R WR and picked up an used 50mm f/1. I like it better. It does weight a bit though.
Hey bro, how does 50 f1 handles high contrast image with chromatic aberration? Cause I saw that it was the problem of some users of this lens, I want to know your real experience as I am interested on Fuji F1 .
@@zacx6970 that’s probably the only slight weakness on this lens. But to be honest, I don’t realize it that much for real life usage. Plus it is not that difficult to fix in post. I am very pleased with what this lens can bring to the table. I prefer this over the 56mm if you don’t mind the size and weight.
Hey Eric, thats interesting. I have the new 56 and was bummed at the AF speed, although I am using an older X-T2. Is the AF a solid improvement then, on the 50? And do you noticed the slightly wider view? Thanks man.
@@nugunzer I owned the new 56mm for a while, I wasn’t very impressed with the autofocus speed either, so I returned it and picked up an used 50 f/1 for a great price. I would say the autofocus of the f/1 is in between the old 56 and the new 56. Nothing to write home about, but as a f/1 portrait lens, it is alright.
