I have seen these come around in Chinese online photo shops from time to time for about this price, in fact these photos and lens seem to come from digifan, who I have got a couple things from in the past, although I dont seem to remember him being in HK...

you could say "better than canon" .. I could bet on this fuji. There are no sense buy noctilux 1.2 😀

I wonder how this Fuji 50/1.2 compres to Hexanon 50/1.2?
Anyone ever use this lens to see some results from it?

Can it be guessed that optical formula comes from Fujinon medium format? I see those fuji lenses at ltm mount very rarely. So it must be that japanese hold them as collection things or those were produced at limited production?

I believe he still resides in China but he comes to HK to fill his inventroy list.

Fujinon optics have always been intersting and top drawer much like Konica. This lens is similar to the LTM 50/1.2 Hexanon as it's a high speed Planar but unlike the Hexanon with a 1-1-2-3-1 grouping, Fuji used a symmetrical 1-3-3-1 approach, probably to improve contrast with less airspaces even though it was coated.

Hi,

How do you rate digifan? He seems to remain a controversal seller and indeed, last time I bough from him was a painful experience.

I read too many complains from buyers who bought rare items from him. For newer ones, things seem ok though.
