Re: XF 50mm f2 a "review" which isn't needed and some shots

The first two images are exceptional, the remaining three are just merely very good (thought I better edit this in, the "merely very good" is a joke).

Also when two lenses are released, the faster of the two is almost universally deemed the "best." In Canon language, the faster 85mm (can't remember the speed) is clearly better than the Canon 85mm f18. Yet if you read the reviews of the 1.8, folks love it.

Were you shooting RAW or film simulation, if film - which one?

More editing in: Concerning background blur (bokeh), this for me is a critical element of a decent lens. Below is a link to the Fuji 50mm f2 photo page, could someone point out the poor background for me, I seemed to have missed this observation:
