Fuji lenses are better optimized for the format. Stop down metering and focusing can be a pain.

In my view, the added weight is not cumbersome and I actually prefer the feel of the XF 56mm f1.2 R, which is well balanced on the X-Pro2. It will be unnecessarily large and not benefit from the functionality of the camera like AF and aperture control. At 405g the XF 56mm f/1.2 R, 999.00, is more than double the weight of the XF 50mm f/2 R WR, 449.00, which comes in at just 200g. However, if you are thinking of buying this lens, I would question why. The R series lenses have an excellent reputation. The work you end up doing with it might make the lens valuable for you. I shot the newest 50mm f/1.4 AF-S on a 27MP-equivalent FX body. I shot an old LEICA SUMMILUX 50mm f/1.4, designed in 1960 and built in 1964, on a new 18MP LEICA M9 (2009). If that was an adapted lens, I probably would not enjoy it because of how slow and imprecise using adapted lenses can be, especially at long focal lengths.īut I echo those above, if you have the lens, I would certainly get an adapter and try it out. I had no current LEICA SUMMILUX-M ASPH 50mm f/1.4 with which to make this a fair comparison, so I used a 45 year old lens instead. Now, my Fuji 50mm f/2 I use a great deal. I think if I used it regularly, it would be annoying. Fuji X-T1 with Fuji 35mm f1.4 (52mm equivalent) Fuji X-T1 with Fuji 35mm f2 (52mm equivalent) Fuji X-T1 with Fuji 35mm f2.8 (52mm equivalent) Fuji X-T1 with Leica 50mm Summicron Type V f/2 (75mm equivalent) Fuji X-T1 with Leica 50mm Summicron Type V f/2.8 (75mm equivalent) Fuji X-T1 with Leica 75mm Summarit (f2.5) f/2.5 (112. But this lens has no AF and no aperture control making it slow to use. So, with little investment I have a lens I can use. It is also not a focal length I use very often. I had it and I adapted it with a Fuji M-Mount adapter because it was a relatively a cheap way of getting a lens for my X Pro2 when I first bought the camera.

I have one adapted lens-an M-Rokkor 90mm, f/4.
