Re: XF 60mm f/2.4 vs. XF 56mm f/1.2

It sounds like you have decided and I would agree with your choice. At one time I had both and though the 56 was an absolutely gorgeous lens, it doesn't focus close or any faster than the 60 and I found the bokeh from the 60 was better in my opinion (only my opinion). I swapped even the 56 for a 16-55 and feel like I got a bargain. I use the 60 primarily for closeups and the zoom most of the time for the few portraits I shoot.
