Preview: Fujinon XF 50mm f/2 R WR

Thx, Florent Smile

We did a day trip to the area around Saanen/Gstaad (train from Geneva to Montreaux, Panoramic Express to Rougement from there) to meet my girlfriend's father, who took part in a crazy bikepacking endurance event (Navad 1000, http://www.navad1000.ch). Thanks to online live tracking of the event, we managed an unexpected (to him) encounter in Saanen... to make sure he's ok, good on energy and food, not too sunburned, healthy... parenting parents Wink

So far I have a good impression of the lens, but I'm also a little biased, since 75 mm (equiv) is a focal length that I learned to love (prefer it over 50 mm). Bokeh seems quite good, but highlights show some outlining (see the smoking zone sample image). However, given the price, the 50/2 seems a no-brainer to me. Haven't done any lab tests yet, though.

Looking back, I would have preferred to have a zoom on that trip, too (only took the 23/2 and the 50/2).
