What are the alternatives to the fujifilm xf 56mm f 1 2 r?

The closest alternatives in this catalogue are its two sibling versions. The Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR is the newer version that replaced the original in 2022, so it's the one I'd pick if you're buying new. The Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R APD adds an apodization filter for smoother out-of-focus areas, but it costs some light, so choose it only if that softer look matters to you.

If you'd rather try a different focal length, the portraits guide suggests a 35mm f/1.8 or f/1.4 for environmental portraits and groups, and a 135mm or 70-200mm f/2.8 for tighter headshots with more background blur. The site doesn't list other Fujifilm X lenses on this page, so I can't confirm their mount compatibility here.
