Fashion Shoot / BTS / Mini Review of the 56mm 1.2

Hey All,

I had the chance to work with a pre-production version of the new Fuji 56mm 1.2 lens and put together a blog post complete with video review and behind the scenes for it.

Beautiful work. Do you shoot the Fuji X-series professionally (outside of this shoot)? What other systems do you use. Any way you cut it, that 56mm 1.2 is the lens that would pull me.
 
the lens looks pretty stunning!
or should i say the images?

i have the 60 which i like but don't use all that much…i was thinking it was going to be easy to resist the 56…i might have been mistaken!

I'm a Nikon D800 user for most of my professional work. I could use the Fuji more for actual jobs, but I have a psychological connection to it that is doesn't represent 'work' so I tend to use it more for personal and portfolio work.

I haven't used the 60mm, but this was designed to be a different lens for sure. From those who have used the 60 and the 56 I'm told the 56 focuses a lot faster, and the shallower DOF obviously has perks for portrait work.
