XF60/2.4 is a fine all-around lens. It is extremely sharp with beautiful rendering of colors. While not as fast as the 56/1.2, it is still quite usable as a portrait lens. I changed out the goofy large lens hood for a small square one that’s overpriced. I love the focal length and use it for everything from macro, to street, to landscape. I dropped mine recently which destroyed it. I replaced it, even though I own the 50/2, which has blazing fast autofocus. While the 60/2.4 is slower to focus, it is not an impediment to good general photography.
