  1. My go to 56 f/1.2 early version lens aperture ring feels stuck but will free up with moderate twisting force then works relative easy but when mounting to my X-Pro2, the lens stops down to aperture set at the time making composing my shot difficult - manual focusing impossible. I bought this lens new and has produces many gorgeous imagines. It still does though as I said with the viewfinder "dark" composing is hit and miss. The "fat" size of the lens allows aperture ring to make contact with surface where camera/lens combo is placed though both have been gently used. Sometimes I think the aperture ring is slightly bent because of this. Any ideas?? This lens is so awesome I can't imagine the new version being a significant improvement optically and I have no plans to upgrade. This and the 23mm f1.4 are both awesome a complete my Fuji kit.
  2. New here but a Fuji X user since shortly after the X-Pro1 was introduced - really enjoy them and look to expanding my Fuji system - ha! more than buying batteries for the two bodies. Still have an extensive Canon DSLR system but find myself carrying the X-Pro1, X-Pro2, the 23 1.4 and 56 1.2 primes plus a pocket full of batteries everywhere I go. Also, I often adapt some of my Canon glass to the X's and even a couple Nikkor lenses left over from my film days - nice that the Nikkors have aperture rings. I can pull out my go to Canon bodies, the 5D MIIIs and the long glass when I need to. At age 65 and not as fit as I once was, this system works for what I mostly do now - documenting the comings and goings here in my hometown in South Carolina, my family and travels. I look forward to becoming more involved with the online Fuji family. Steve York, SC
