Fujinon XF50mm f/1 R LM WR:

DPR posted its Fujinon XF 50mm f/1 R WR review the other day and surprisingly they gave it a silver award, but unsurprisingly they ragged on the lens which we have seen them do before. You can read the full written review here, but most other reviewers liked the lens quite a bit. I think it comes down to if you truly enjoy fast glass or if you prefer clinical glass.

What we like	What we don’t
Balances well with larger X-mount bodies Truly luscious bokeh Very flat plane of focus Excellent flare and ghosting resistance No focus breathing Comprehensive weather-sealing Solid build and good controls Very effective lens hood in the product bundle	Not very sharp until F2.8 or narrower LoCA color casts at F2.0 or wider Cat’s eye can be an issue at apertures wider than F2.0 Slow autofocus and occasional AF hunting Low maximum magnification No in-lens stabilization Fairly big and bulky Quite expensive
