The Fuji X cameras make photography more beautiful images much easier. They stroke the ego. And this lens is another tremendous help. I am never been able to make such a high percentage nice sharp portraits with large aperture than with this lens and the X-E2 in Continuous & High Speed Mode. AF seems to me faster than I am loved Fuji 35mm f1.4. And the 56mm lens does not lose excessive contrast with f1.2 / f1.4. This had the use of the Canon 100mm f2 lens on the Canon 5D Mk II spoils me something. Postprocessing can not realistically bring back what is not in the artwork.
