Admiringlight is the first website that had the luck to own both new very fast f/1.2 Leica 42,5mm and Fuji 56mm portrait lenes. And he did a comparison to answer one simple question: What lens delivers the best performance?

Admiringlight writes:

Overall, the Panasonic Leica is a little bit better corrected.  It’s slightly sharper over most of the frame (though the Fuji is a little better into the corners in my experience), it’s got a little smoother bokeh and better contrast at wide apertures.  However, it’s definitely not a runaway.  These systems have two heavyweights in this range.  

Be sure to check out the full test at Admiringlight!

Lens review specialized site SLRgear tested the new Fuji 56mm f/1.2 lens and writes:

Fujifilm is really knocking it out of the park with their X-mount prime lenses, and the Fujinon 56mm ƒ/1.2R is another triumph. Typically, an impressively bright ƒ/1.2 aperture brings with it some big sacrifices such as sharpness, vignetting and CA, but the Fuji 56mm avoids them all. With stunningly sharp images, even in the corners at ƒ/1.2 with extremely minimal CA, vignetting and distortion, Fuji shooters looking for the premiere portrait lens for the X-mount should look no further.

Amazing lens! And for what it delivers the price isn’t crazy high neither! You can get the lens now at Amazon or BHphoto.

The team from FujiGuys made that nice Youtube video to explain the Top Features of the new X-T1.

Also TheVerge took a deep look to the X-T1 and got impressed by the camera:

I’ve been shooting with mirrorless cameras for a long time — I was an early converter because I was just tired of lugging my DSLR rig around. But they’ve always involved compromises. But after shooting with the Fujifilm X-T1 for almost a full month, I really feel like I’ve found what I’ve been looking for.
