Also the 50mm APS-C focal length is odd to say the last. It's neither normal (33mm) nor portrait (56mm).

They (Fuji) started out with the idea of 33mm f1. Apparently they found it impossible to design such a lens, so they switched to 50mm f1. Pretty silly process. 

So now you get a 75mm f1.5 FF equivalent, next to the 56mm f1.2. Pretty unique focal length for APS-C only, and pretty nonsensical. At least it will be a lot heavier, and sharper, than my 55mm f1.2 lenses.
