Fujifilm XF 50mm F1.0 R WR 50mm

85.5 Professional Score
50mm 1.0 Fujifilm X Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

The XF 50mm f/1.0 R WR's f/1.0 maximum aperture is the brightest for the X-mount, enabling razor-thin depth-of-field with a 12-element, 9-group optical design that controls aberrations. Its weather-resistant sealing and 9-blade diaphragm ensure consistent, smooth bokeh in challenging conditions. This lens is ideal for portrait photographers who need a 75mm equivalent focal length for dramatic subject isolation.

Its dedicated Vlog mode and 3.5mm mic/headphone jack make it a compact hybrid that doubles the battery life of its predecessor.
