OK, I'll add another branch to the optical briar patch...:-)

For several years I owned the 56. When I used it, I liked it very much. But I only used it for foreseen portrait applications. I am a documentary/street shooter not a portrait guy.

For me, the 56 was not a casual "take with me and see what happens today" lens.

I recently sold the 56 and bought the 50 f2. It is more suited to MY photo interests and easy to grab as a walkabout lens. I am very happy with the 50's size, weight, AF, WR and IQ.

No surprise---it also does quite well with portraits!                                                                          It joins my 12mm 2.8 Zeiss, 16mm Fuji 1.4, 35mm Fuji 1.4 and two X Pro2 bodies.            Nice.
