I got a chance to take a look at the XF 50mm f/1 R WR over a beautiful fall weekend for a review. Here is a link if you are interested.

Fujifilm XF 50mm f/1 R WR - Lens Review

And a few favorite shots...

I don't understand where the lenses are in the U.S. Other places have them as I've seen people with them on Fuji forums.

Anyway, I'm not really happy with this one because I should have taken my X-T4 for its IBIS. Also, I learned a lesson, yet again, about filters and candles/points of light and the reflections they cause. So, bear in mind I'm still experimenting and this particular condition was extreme. I didn't want to get into posting too many pictures of the event due to the sensitive nature of the story (a vigil for some children who were killed). It's POSSIBLE I could have shot slower at a lower ISO - say 3200 at 1/60 but I would have been more comfortable doing that with the X-T4. The lens is very heavy and I feel it probably needs IBIS. Again, this preliminary shooting as I get accustomed to what its best settings are.

Here's a couple from a story I'm working on. I shot the X-T3 with the Mitakon Speedmaster is actually a pretty easy lens to use, I'm surprised by how useful and sharp it is. I admit that I like to challenge gear with difficult circumstances as much as possible when I'm shooting under non-deadline, non-stressful situations. I want to know if it can perform if I need it to.

I don't think the aperture on the Mitakon is accurately reflected on the EXIF data here. I believe I had that lens set at f8 or smaller in those first two shots. The Mitakon doesn't talk to the lens completely with data. I added a shot at the bottom of this series with the Mitakon vs the Fuji lens and those shot wide open so they are more equal to compare.

Mitakon 35 wide open

Would you be willing to edit your post and click the box that shows the EXIF data on each photo so we can see the details of the shots? Thank you. These are nice use of the bokeh.

Thank you for sharing. I just got a 50mm f2 now I’m second guessing myself whether to get this one instead

Big difference in size, weight, and most importantly cost. The 50mm f2 is a great little lens. Unless you NEED f1.0, stick with it. I’m also assuming you don’t need that larger aperture, as you chose the f2 over the 56 1.2 lens.

You know I thought I was certain that I was going to purchase this lens, but after seeing a certain YouTube reviewer I was turned off. He either has small hands or the lens is that big. After going back and forth I'll probably be getting the 56mm. But I hope more pictures get posted on this thread.

If a person was going to use it wide open in sunlight, you can see you're really done at 1/8000 and 160ISO unless you get filters. Might be some people find a path for that. There's always different applications for different things.

I'm probably going to try the Fuji 50mm f1.0 out at a concert next. Low light combined with accurate low light focus would certainly be a solid application for this lens. There also might be some night events over the next few weeks where I can work it into the shoots.

The other low light options I would turn to are the Sony 135 GM and the (Sony) Sigma 105 1.4 - and they are SUPER big. They are, granted, also different focal lengths.

The PERFORMANCE of a lens for its applications is where it would largely be rated. Of these three lenses, uhmmmm, probably the Sigma would be somewhat preferable. It gets difficult for any lens to nail focus in C mode and a moving subject when there are razor thin DOF.

**Edit to add: I did finally find the expanded ISO inside the menu on the X-T4 - PITA - but at least you can eek out an extra stop. I don't know why Fuji did this when the X-T3 has the L and H on the ISO dial handy.

Any sports photos? I’m interested in this as an indoor or night sports option.

Here's some more I took at the Veterans Day parade. 50mm on the X-T4. I also shot the 90mm on the X-T3.

Comparisons with other lens/body options. I would probably have routinely used a 50-140 (or equivalent) f2.8 lens for HS indoor sports like this. But I wanted to see what fast glass options might yield.

I took the X-T3 and X-T4 to some basketball and tried out some different lenses:

Fuji 50mm f1.0
Fuji 50mm f2.0
Fringer Pro II on a Canon 50mm f1.2

I'm still working on getting follow focus settings adjusted per each different sport.

Anyway, somebody requested to see some HS sports shots with the new f1.0 lens. I'll post more after the Chiefs game - or maybe tomorrow since the game will go late.

Also, I decided to add some shots I did with the Sony A7RIV and the Sigma 105 f1.4

I think some of what any of us are looking for in these low light sports settings is gear that follow focuses well and yields the best results we can achieve.

as above - cropped

So, I threw in a couple of other lenses - a 50-140 and a 90 f2

Chris and Jordan were pretty harsh, picking this as the worst lens of 2020...
