I have the Fuji 23mm f1.4 and I like the push-pull ring on the lens to change to manual focus. Does the 56mm f1.2 have this feature?

No, it does not - surprisingly. A major flaw in what is otherwise their best lens.

It does not have the push and pull ring like the 23 mm,but is the best Fuji lens

It dose not have the push pull focus ring. It has just the traditional style focusing ring. You will need to switch the focus dial to "M" on your Fuji camera body in order to activate the manual focus mode.

Yes, it does have a manual aperture ring. It does not have image stabilization. I believe Ken Rockwell has a chart of camera compatibility. I'm using it on an FM2n. Overall, it's a pretty decent lens if you are only going to use just one.

Yes, you can certainly change the focus using the ring. The Hoodman works great. Just did an outside shoot today and let my clients see through it to view photos during the session. They need to adjust it for their eyesight as well. Hope this helps. :)

Hi Donna: Yes, there is a remote shutter release for Fuji cameras. It is the Fuji RR-80, and if you just search on Amazon for "Fuji RR-80," it should pull up. As for macro, the kit lens that comes with the X-A1, although a terrific lens, does not focus very closely (I believe it is about 30cm). There is a macro lens that Fuji sells (it is a 60mm macro), but it is relatively pricey. Some of the other standard Fuji lenses have a minimum focusing distance that is less than the kit lens here, but none (other than then 60mm macro lens) is a true macro. Finally, Sigma has announced just recently that they will be selling lenses for the Fuji X-mount system, so it will be interesting to see if a more inexpensive macro lens will be among their offerings. But the X mount system is a truly amazing platform for shooting, and the X-A1 is the perfect way to get into it at a very reasonable price. I still use the kit lens, even though I have some of the other more expensive "XF" Fuji lenses, along with the others because its performance is so good, and because it is so light!

Often times Fuji AF system frustrates me. I hear that XF35mm lens performance might feel better with X-T1 but with my X-E1 your description is really familiar to me. When it happens, I put it in manual focus mode which makes a great photo.

On the lens, set the aperture ring to f/22. Then, use the aperture control on the camera to control the aperture. That is how it's supposed to work on newer cameras. Setting it to f/22 on the lens enables the communication between lens and camera.

Hello Suzanne, It's a push-pull lens, pull the barrel out and you get manual and push it in and your in automatic or maybe vise versa???

Well, the smaller ring in front is the focus ring. The larger ring is manual zoom.BTW, this is a spectacular lens! I've taken some excellent photos with it, hand-held on full zoom

The lenses are manual zoom, so you turn the ring on the lens itself. If you have a prime lens, like the 30mm, there is no zoom.

In choosing between the FZ35 and the FZ28, I note that the 28 allows manual focus. Does the FZ35 also allow the user to manually focus the lens? If so I will go with the FZ35.

Yes, it's a clutch mechanism that allows slippage of the manual focus ring past the near and far focus stops. This is true for all my AF-S lenses.

Some high-end lenses have focusing ring that can be pulled back into a MF only mode. If this is the case simply push the focus ring forward. Otherwise, press the AF button (above the on/off switch) and use the left and right direction buttons until S-AF is selected.

Yes, you are able to switch between manual and auto focus on this lens by sliding the ring on the lens forward for auto focus or back for manual focus.

Yes, for the 23mm F1.4, it is on the lens? In the XF series of Fuji lenses, the XF27mm is the one exception. For that lens you use the rear dial.

Good question, I actuLly had to play with it to be sure. While the 23mm looks and feels very mechanical it is actually "by wire" like other Fuji lens. Unlike many other Fuji lenses it has stops at both ends of its focus range so you can easily pre-focus. It also has focus distance and DOF scales. This is a Great lens, don't let the "by-wire" put you off.

works excellent! with aperture priority you change the f/ stop manually on your lens and exposure time/shutter speed will adjust automatically in your camera.Use manual focus assist to pull your focus on the lens.
