My XF56 APD Review: Part1

[adzman808]

I'll start a new thread for this one, as this lens is not just for one Fuji camera, so although (on my site) I've included it as part of my X-Pro2 review, it can of course, be used on all of the X mount cameras!

 

I've long lusted after the XF56 APD

 

The trouble's always been affording one !!

 

So when Fujifilm offered to lend me one for 10 days - I first jumped for joy, then leapt at the opportunity 

 

So I've written up a review that's split into 4 parts, with this first one live today!

 

I hope you enjoy...

I've had mine since it was released. I got a demo sample on the cheap. And while I like it, I will agree with most reviewers that the regular 56 is still the one to get.

Continuing my l-o-n-g review of the XF56 APD!

 

This week I start to get to grips with the lens and share some of those embarrassing test shots that we all... oh right, it's only me that does that then!!

Adam, may we hope that part 3 will provide us with the links to your Flickr site with bigger images please!

Continuing the XF56 APD review:

 

This week we take a closer look at some images shot in a few different locations and see if we can see any APDness to the shots!

That's next week, or just go to my flickr now

OK, Sunday morning...

 

And it's time for the concluding part of my XF56 APD review!

 

For the final part I share some of my personal favourite shots from my time with the APD - which are on Flickr for those of you who have requested that, and I  try my best to sum up the AF experience (in a pretty subjective way to be fair)

 

I hope you've found at least a modicum of enjoyment from my review of a lens that's a little off the centre stage!

 

But even if not - I enjoyed shooting with it, and I enjoyed writing about it!

Thank you Adam. Good review and great shots. I'd like Fuji make some 35f_ APD one day...

If there's ever a 33mm F1.0 APD - then my kid's for sale
