Product Details / Description:

Renting the FUJINON XF50mmF1.0 R WR provides a unique creative edge for your photography in Japan. This lens allows you to capture images with a distinct, three-dimensional look, rendering sharp subjects against a creamy, ethereal backdrop, even when shooting in near-darkness.

About the Product

The optical construction features 12 elements in 9 groups, including one Aspherical lens and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses. This complex structure is necessary to ensure high resolution and correct aberrations at the extreme F1.0 aperture.

The lens utilizes a high-speed focusing system that can handle the massive amount of light passing through the wide aperture. While autofocus is supported, achieving critical focus at F1.0 demands precision, often best attained by using Fujifilm’s advanced focus aids. The 9-blade aperture contributes to the renowned quality of the bokeh, producing large, smooth out-of-focus highlights. The robust “WR” construction means you can confidently use this lens in less-than-ideal weather conditions.

Faqs:

What is the visual effect of shooting at F1.0?

Shooting at F1.0 creates an exceptionally narrow plane of focus. The subject will be razor-sharp, while the background and foreground drop immediately into a smooth, creamy blur, making the subject visually pop out of the frame. This effect is often referred to as “3D pop” or extreme subject isolation.

How does the weight of 845 grams affect portability?

At 845 grams, this is a heavy lens for the X-mount system, a trade-off necessary to achieve the F1.0 aperture. While heavier than most XF primes, it is significantly lighter than comparable F1.2 or F1.4 full-frame lenses, making it manageable for serious portrait shoots but less ideal for ultra-light travel kits.

Does the autofocus work well at F1.0?

The lens supports autofocus, but focusing accurately at F1.0 is technically challenging due to the extremely shallow depth of field. Success often depends on the camera body’s focusing capabilities (such as the latest generation X-T or X-H series) and the lighting conditions. Manual focus using focus aids can often yield the most precise results for critical portraits.

Why is the 76mm equivalent focal length used for portraits?

The 76mm equivalent is considered an excellent medium telephoto for portraiture because it offers a very flattering perspective, avoiding the distortion of wider lenses while allowing for a comfortable shooting distance from the subject.

Is the F1.0 aperture useful in bright daylight?

Yes, but you will need to manage the light. To shoot wide open at F1.0 in bright sunlight, you may need a very high shutter speed, or more commonly, you’ll need to use a Neutral Density (ND) filter to prevent overexposure, allowing you to utilize the shallow depth of field even during the day.
