The most underrated Fujifilm lens
So many Fujifilm users speak negatively about the 50mm f/2 because the 56mm f/1.2 is so impressive. However, speaking as someone who owns and uses both lenses, I prefer shooting with the 50mm f/2.
The 50mm is weather sealed, has faster autofocus, has a closer minimum focus distance, and delivers almost identical image sharpness from f/2.8 onward. At f/2 the 50mm isn’t quite as sharp as the 56mm, but you have to pixel-peep test charts to see the difference.
I often have to shoot portraits at f/2 with the 56mm to get the entire face in focus, so lately I just use the 50mm because I can get closer (thanks to the closer minimum focus distance), it focuses faster (with better accuracy), and f/2 is better than f/1.2 for getting a complete face in focus. The only time I use the 56mm is for low light events where I don’t want to use high ISO and I’m far enough away from the subject that shallow depth of field isn’t an issue.Read full review...

Excellent value lens, fast, sharp, good size
If you don’t need the 1.4 or don’t want to manually focus with legacy glass on a Fuji, this is a versatile, fast, sharp lens. It is solidly built, weather sealed, snappy focus, and gas a good minimum focus distance. Read full review...

My new default lens
Really loving this lens! I've been gravitating towards street photography ever since getting my first Fujifilm camera with a 35mm lens a bit over a year ago. I decided I wanted something with a bit more zoom that was also weather resistant so the 50mm was the perfect fit. I had been very tempted by the XF56mm F1.2 R but the steep price and lack of weather resistance ultimately lead me to the 50mm F2.
This lens is only slightly larger and heavier than the 35mm so it still makes for a great every day lens.Read full review...

Great value portrait lens
Compact and an easy traveler, it’s modest telephone provides those closeups you can’t get to. Small, it doesn’t attract attention. It’s very much in the spirit of the early Leica rangefinders - precision, predictability and sharpness.Read full review...

XF 50mm f/2 r wr
Great Fujifilm prime. Compact, light, sharp and affordable.Images render exceptional "Fuji" colors. Buy either black or silver. My criteria was to buy the one with the greater discount. Silver might look funky on a black body but either color lens looks great on a silver body.Very quiet and fast focusing.Read full review...

Bitingly sharp, compact and fast ficusing
This is the sharpest lens I’ve ever owned over my 40 year career in photography: blistering sharp, corner to corner, over a wide range of apertures. This combined with its fast focusing, small size, light weight and robust construction make it a winner for me.Read full review...

F2 Is All You Need
The FX 50mm f2 R WR is one of Fujifilm's series of relatively new f2 lenses. It's small, light, well made like all Fuji lenses, weather resistant, quite affordable, and provides excellent image quality.Read full review...

Solid lens with pleasing and sharp images.
It is a solid lens that is capable of producing sharp images and good contract. And it is compact and lightweight. I like the aperture ring that gives you the option to adjust it while shooting and not taking your eyes of the viewfinder.The ring makes a satisfying click when adjusted.Read full review...

Great lens. Small, compact, sharp.
Great lens. Small, compact, sharp. Not much else to say. It does what is supposed to do and provides a great perspective to pull faces out of the crowd.

Definitely great value over 56mm XF Lens
It doesn’t cost as much as the 56mm lens but this one is weather proof. Smaller. And faster focus than 56mm. These are good selling points of this lens. If you don’t have the top notch camera I’d definitely recommend this one instead for much faster focus. Read full review...
