Fujifilm X 50mm f/2 WR

The Fujifilm XF 50mm f/2 R WR is a compact mid‑tele prime that blends moderate tele perspective with reliable weather resistance and refined handling for Fujifilm X APS‑C users. Its effective focal length (≈76mm full‑frame equivalent) makes it a natural choice for portraiture and detail work where subject separation and attractive out‑of‑focus rendering matter, yet its small footprint keeps it unobtrusive on a walkaround kit. Optically the design uses modern low‑dispersion and aspherical elements to control aberrations and maintain pleasing micro‑contrast; the nine‑blade rounded diaphragm contributes to smooth bokeh that is flattering for skin tones and small highlights. Weather sealing and temperature‑rated operation give photographers confidence shooting outdoors in variable conditions, and the stepping motor autofocus is tuned for quiet, accurate performance useful for both stills and video. In practical use the lens performs strongly wide open for subject isolation and sharpens further when stopped down; its light weight and compact size make it a consistent choice for travel, events and street work where robustness and image character are both priorities. The lens's combination of tactile controls, dependable AF and optical rendering make it a versatile, well‑rounded mid‑tele prime in Fuji's XF range.
