February & March seem to be the best months for X-deals. As in 2014, also in 2015 Fujifilm launched a huge instant rebate program… and now, just a few days before the deals expire, they decided to add the Super-Bokeh lens 56mmF1.2 APD to the current X-deals.
Remember, BHphoto added a further rebate (and 4% reward) to all the current XF deals… so definitely the way to this time 😉

I didn’t see any test, review or any person who could make me tell the difference between the 56 and the 56 APD. The bokeh looks the same to me.
I mean, really, if I am going to spend twice as much for the APD, then I want to see a f*cking difference *instantly* without opening PS or LR and zoom in 500% to imagine a pixel nuance.

I can see immediatly a difference
Thanks, Patrick. It’s at least obvious at it seems now. Not sure whether these pics are really SOOC or PSed. I guess the best thing would be to rent an APD lens and try it out. Best greetings!~
These are Rico’s images, and they are for sure SOOC. It’s written in the description.
Rent one is a good idea
I have the 56 APD and I would recommend it, if you are looking for a dedicated lens for portraits. That’s what the APD was made for. If you’re not into portraits or want to use it more for other stuff, go with the normal version.
Amazing how fast Fujifilm prices fall. It’s like these lenses are destined to lose value, a lot of value very quickly.
