Between FF and APS-C and equivalent lenses you will always have a different look. My take is that I treat the Fuji lenses like the 56 APD still as the "look" of a 56mm lens FF, but with a narrower perspective. Even though the 56 APD has the angle of perspective of 84mm FF for composing, the 56 at f/1.2 is an amazing lens on its own.
I think with time, the "classic" rendering/look of a given focal length will somewhat be forgot. Most of us who spent a lot of time with 35mm SLR's of course might "see" a bit of a 50mm focal length in a lens like the 56mm f1.2, even though its equiv to 85mm due to the crop factor. We don't think of it as a 85mm FoV, we think of it as a cropped 50mm, which is correct, yet so is the former too.
Thing is though, that the reference of a 35mm SLR/DSLR is going to become less of a standard. Back in the days of large and medium format, 120 film et al, people no doubt thought of a true 50mm lens as crop version of a "normal" 90mm.
A 56mm lens on an APS-C sensor likely will be thought of as having a certain look, and FoV, within its own right, and not equivalent to other formats. If someone bought their first camera today, what they work with is all they know, there is no equivalence.
For me though, I think of a lens like my 16mm f1.4, and I don't associate it as as 16mm, in my mind its a 24mm, because of the FoV, and because that is what I spent ages shooting and knowing.
To me its a 24mm lens that has a number 16 written on it lol. To a different shooter though, 16mm means to them what 24 means to me.
They might see a 24mm lens on a FF DSLR and automatically associate that with the 16mm they know.
The frame of reference was always the 35mm negative. We had 1.5x, 2x crop etc, but sooner or later that will no doubt change.
Maybe the Hassy and Fuji MF camera's will become the new standard and "full frame" as we know it will start being a crop factor
