Maybe I was a bit too optimistic, when I celebrated the fact that the Fujifilm X-H2 was right in stock at launch day, as it turns out it rapidly went out of stock and it hasn’t been available since then.

But we get much better news on the Fujinon XF56mm f/1.2 R WR front, as that one is available at BHphoto here and AmazonUS here.

• Fujifilm X-H2: BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / Moment / Focuscamera
• XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR: BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / Moment / Focuscamera
• XF 18-120mm f/4: BHphoto / AmazonUS /  Adorama / Moment
• Fujifilm X-H2S: BHphoto / AmazonUS / Adorama / Moment

I’ve lost count on how many Chinese lenses are sold under all possible names.

One we never mentioned so far is Cheecar, who back launched the Cheecar 10mm f/5.6 also for Fujifilm X mount.

This looks almost identical to the existing Pergear 10mm f/5.6 and the Brightin Star 10mm f/.5.6 Fisheye lens.

The Nisi 9mm f/2.8 lens for Fujifilm X mount has just been announced. You can see samples and specs in our dediacted launch article.

Now Christopher Frost shared his review about this lens (mounted on a Sony full frame camera).

Here is the summary of his video:

• smooth focus and aperture ring
• focus ring turns a little heavily and very precise for manual focusing
• almost no focus breathing
• 67mm filter size is nice and unusual for such a wide angle lens. Use a slim filter with this lens to avoid to occur in vignetting
• metal lens hood
• lovely build quality
• image quality
• at f/2.8: excellent sharpness and contrast in the center and still quite some good detail in the corners. The very edges are soft
• at f/4 corners quickly improve to become very impressive
• at f/16 comes a bit of softness due to diffraction
• at f/2.8 distortion isn’t too high with just moderate barrel distortion
• at f/2.8 huge vignetting in the corners and they begin to brighten up at f/4
• 20 cm minimum focus distance and remains sharp at close distance
• average amount of flaring although it is fairly transparent hence it should rarely cause any problems
• coma smearing is absolutely minimal even at f/2.8 and what eventually is there is gone at f/4
• some sunstar effect is visible even at f/2.8 and they become quickly nice and strong at f/4 and they get even better at f/8 and f/11
• bokeh perhaps just a little nervous, but nothing too distracting
• overall he is pretty impressed by how well this little lens performs
