Value For Money
This 56mm lens from Fuji costs around £890, which is quite good value for an 85mm equivalent lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.2.There are currently no comparable lenses available for Fuji X-series cameras. Canon's 85mm f/1.2 is probably the best known medium telephoto with a maximum aperture of f/1.2 and that costs around £1700!
