The most underrated Fujifilm lens
So many Fujifilm users speak negatively about the 50mm f/2 because the 56mm f/1.2 is so impressive. However, speaking as someone who owns and uses both lenses, I prefer shooting with the 50mm f/2.
The 50mm is weather sealed, has faster autofocus, has a closer minimum focus distance, and delivers almost identical image sharpness from f/2.8 onward. At f/2 the 50mm isn’t quite as sharp as the 56mm, but you have to pixel-peep test charts to see the difference.
I often have to shoot portraits at f/2 with the 56mm to get the entire face in focus, so lately I just use the 50mm because I can get closer (thanks to the closer minimum focus distance), it focuses faster (with better accuracy), and f/2 is better than f/1.2 for getting a complete face in focus. The only time I use the 56mm is for low light events where I don’t want to use high ISO and I’m far enough away from the subject that shallow depth of field isn’t an issue.
