Slightly off-topic but the model's posing great with those movements and quickly picks up on what you want her to do. Great photos

The 56mm wins in sharpness, and the 50mm in bokeh.
I like the 50 a little better. It is just enough deferent that it will standout.
2:43 “wow this location is so pretty 🤩“
Model: am I a joke to you 😩
Thank you Julia, for posting the still photos-side by side. This makes comparisons much easier. I think the 50mm has slightly more contrast. Regardless, both lenses are fantastic. I have the 56mm & do not feel the need to purchase the 50mm f1.0 at this time. I do also have the 50mm f2.0 & I must say, I do enjoy using this particular lens due to it’s small size & light weight.
In the samples shown, sometimes I liked the 56 more and other times the 50, but my favorite pic is with the 50mm at 4:32. Such a fantastic shot there. Because they are so similar and because the 56 is so much lighter, I would save money and go with the 56. Thanks for the comparison.
you should compare Fujifilm XF 50mm f/1.8 R WR to

I can't find any difference except in the 56mm the face look more compressed 😅. Model face with 50mm focal length looks better for portrait photo.
I want to buy the xf56 f1.2, loved the way you showed us your whole photoshoot. Thanks.
What is the gear that left side of the camera ?
I think I like the 56mm just a little more. Both great though.
Gorgeous model.
Thank you for the comparison test especially at F2, doing a lot of fashion its just not an option for me to shoot wide open and great to see unlike too many YouTubers all they do is the one trick pony (wide open)Wow there both great, Its really even stevens as far as IQ. would go with the 50mm personally as i prefer a bit more in frame especially the fact I already have the 90mm f2 which is a great option for the tighter shots. Great shots BTW
Hi, Thx for the comparison.
I'm currently deciding between the two so it helps.
I think with not so much difference in overall image I think I choose the 56mm because it's cost less.
Sincerely,
Your fans from Indonesia
Before you buy the 50mm f1.0 try to lift 1kg of weight in your hand and neck strap, if you can live with it for some time then go. lol!
The weight of this 50mm is overwhelming, you can even feel it in your hand when the lense focuses.
56 1.2 is better for me.
How do you film your screen while taking pictures??
fuji or Sony?
With no budget, I would pick the 50mm. I agree the bokeh looks identical. I think for the use case of a portraiture lens, a 50mm on apsc looks noticeably less flattened from the more telephoto 56. However, the difference is small and with a budget I'd just buy the 56mm.
uhhh would've been so nice if you cloud've shared the raw files!
The 56 looked sharper to me.
They are so similar, stepping back with the 56 to compose like the 50 compresses the composition making the DOF just about the same as the 50 and the price difference makes it a no brainer so I would definitely get the 56. Good review, thanks
50mm 1.0 is almost a Halo product. Like 'look what we can do' whereas 56mm 1.2 is a classic portrait lens that happens to be very well crafted.
Thank you Julia for doing a comparison for me to see what I should get for myself in the far future xD I have an Xt4 with 16-88mm. lens. I'm a beginner in photography and still learning. Normally I do the pack shots of products and some videos with a lot of movements. I want to have pictures with blurred backgrounds so I guess maybe the 56 is what I should get.
What is the device underthe camera with the dual antennas ?
I wish they would have made the 50mm an f1.4 option with the new linear motors in the same style as the new 18, 23, and 33mm lenses
Great! Julia, how do you record the camera monitor? What is the equipment? Thank you!
just wondering.. How does EVF work? If you have a fuji film simulation recipe.. do u see the recipe output at the same time while looking in EVF before snapping? Or it stays normal viewfinder like auto WB? i only have beginners fuji cam xa3 with no viewfinder
The colors straight out of the camera "unedited" looks way better than "earthy lightroom preset pack." Just saying.
What I thought the 56 is heavy already lol cant imagine the 50 then.
