DPR: Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 R vs XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR No Advantage at f/5.6

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 24, 2023


Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 R: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
Fujinon XF56mm F1.2 R APD: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
Fujinon XF56mm f/1.2 R WR MKII: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

DPR did some testing to see if they need to update their X-mount studio scene testing using the new Fujinon XF56mm f/1.2 R WR MKII since previous testing was done with the Fujinon XF 56mm f/1.2 R stopped down to f/5.6. The Fujinon XF56mm f/1.2 R WR MKII is specifically designed to resolve the resolution of Fujifilm’s new 40MP sensor, but when both lenses are stopped down to f/5.6 the resolving power is similar with a slight contrast advantage given to the newer lens after testing.

Our interpretation is that there is a slight contrast benefit to the use of the new 56mm F1.2R WR vs. the non-WR lens; in the widget above we’ve tried to highlight the area of greatest difference. In our judgement the difference is not sufficient, at the aperture value the test scene is shot at, to justify breaking consistency with previous Fujifilm models tested in our setup.

This isn’t a comment on the new lens: we’d expect to see greater differences at wider apertures, and we’ve found the autofocus performance to be improved over the older version. But neither of these are pertinent to the selection of our standard Fujifilm test lens, so we’ll stick with the original 56mm F1.2R for now, to maintain perfect continuity in the studio comparison feature our site provides.

New FotodioX Vizelex Adapters For Pentax 6×7 SLR, Pentax 645 SLR, Hasselblad V, and Mamiya 645 to Fujifilm GFX With 2-8 Stop Variable ND Filter

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 23, 2023

FotodioX released four new Vizelex variable ND filter adapters for GFX that can provide 2-8 stops of compensation.

Product Highlights:
• Mounts a Vast Range of Vintage Workhorse Lenses to Fujifilm G-Mount GFX Cameras
• Built-in Variable Neutral Density Filter ND4-256 (2-8 stops) for easy and convenient image control over any lens that you attach
• Enhanced craftsmanship and high-tolerance construction for demanding professionals; infinity focus or beyond guaranteed
• Precise fit, solid all-metal connection with chrome plated brass mounts for secure and solid fit; no play, gap or wiggling
• Limited 2-Year Manufacturer Warranty

Mount Vintage Lenses to Fujifilm G-Mount GFX Cameras
Whether you’re shooting digitally or on film, Fotodiox offers the world’s largest selection of lens adapters. Mix camera/lens platforms or reinvigorate vintage glass; Fotodiox has hundreds of ways to mount lenses onto your DSLR or SLR camera. Our adapters deliver infinity focus, manual aperture control, and a sturdy build for lasting quality.

Built-in Variable Neutral Density 2-8 stops
The Vizelex ND Throttle is well known for having a built-in variable neutral density filter that offers 2 to 8 stops of light reduction. This concept in adapters has been praised by film makers and now Fotodiox has optimized the adapter for that same crowd. The Vizelex ND Throttle reduces light transmission by one stop when at its ‘Min’ position. The adapter helps maintain shallow depth of field in bright conditions while eliminating the tedious process of changing filters every time the exposure changes. With the filter positioned in the rear, image quality is better than if the same filter were mounted on the front of a lens. The variable ND filter is made from optical polycarbonate (CR39) for clarity and durability.

Precise & Solid Connection; No Play Fit
Fotodiox employs Professional Photographers in every aspect of development and design to create products that are built to last. The Pro line of adapters is crafted to withstand the rigors and demands of the professional photographer. Our adapters are manufactured with precise tolerances, providing a solid, gap free, no wiggle connection for stress free use. No adjustments needed! Fotodiox adapters are meant to be taken off and put back on your camera as much as needed while remaining as precise as the day you bought them.

All-Metal Construction; Secure & Solid Fit
Fotodiox Pro adapters feature all-metal, no plastic construction to create a secure connection between your glass and camera that will not degrade over time, keeping the lens-camera connection secure with every use. We use chrome plated brass mounts for enhanced durability and reliability. All Fotodiox products are backed by our 24-month Fotodiox Manufacturer Warranty.
