I ordered a ttartisan 50mm f1.2. It was way cheap and from all the discussion here - you pretty much have to manual focus the Fuji 56 anyway. I has not arrived yet - but all the reviews say it is good - not quite as good as the Fuji 56 - but also - for $100 a good deal. With that - I can also get the 50-230 or stretch to get the 55-200

The old xf56 focuses just fine on my xt3. Just don't plan on it for sports. I think the "issues " are a bit over blown. It's slower on my xe3. More of an issue with the older cameras.

I am right on the border of 'older camera'. I have an x-t2 body. My understanding with AF is - 'better than x-t1, but light years behind x-t3'.

My XE3 is the same generation as your XT2. As i said above - the XF56 focusses much better on the x-trans IV (XT3/XT4/XE4) generation than on the x-trans III (XT2/XE3) generation.
