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:

Cheers !! I got the more jok-ish tone hehe. These are all RAW edited in C1 using the Eterna film sim of C1 as a starting point (since X-T20 lacks that unfortunately) which i find really pleasing and easy to edit in night shots. More specifically I just use a layer for colors, usually yellowish for shadows and teal-to-green for highlights as well as the seperate color HSL depending on the image and then adjust the opacity of the layer. Eterna seems to respond the best for me. Probably with a camera that has Eterna and proper WB shift, it would be easier to eliminate editing.

As for the backround blur maybe my shots aren't the best showcase of this lens' bokeh hence EOS comment which I agree in a way, but as one can clearly see from the flickr link it is fine especially for flower close-ups.
