The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Tokina atx-m 56mm F1.4 X and the Fujifilm 56mm F1.2 R APD for their suitability to various photography scenarios:
Size and Weight Comparison
The size of a lens is a crucial factor to consider when comparing two lenses. Tokina atx-m 56mm F1.4 X is the longer of the two lenses at 72mm. The Fujifilm 56mm F1.2 R APD with a length of 70mm, is 2mm shorter. On the other hand, the Fujifilm 56mm F1.2 R APD has a larger diameter of 73mm compared to the Tokina atx-m 56mm F1.4 X's 65mm diameter.
The weight of a lens is equally significant as its external dimensions, particularly if you intend to handhold your camera and lens combination for extended periods. Tokina atx-m 56mm F1.4 X weighs 315g, which means it is 90g (22%) lighter than the Fujifilm 56mm F1.2 R APD which has a weight of 405g.
Filter Threads
The Tokina atx-m 56mm F1.4 X has a filter size of 52mm whereas the Fujifilm 56mm F1.2 R APD has a 62mm diameter. Larger filters are generally more expensive than the smaller ones given all the other features are equal.
Below are links to the 52mm filters that we recommend you to consider for the Tokina atx-m 56mm F1.4 X:
And these are the 62mm filters that we recommend for the Fujifilm 56mm F1.2 R APD:
Lens Mounts
Both the Tokina atx-m 56mm F1.4 X and the Fujifilm 56mm F1.2 R APD has the same Fujifilm X lens mount. Some of the latest released cameras that are compatible with the Fujifilm X lenses are Fujifilm X-S20, Fujifilm X-T5 and Fujifilm X-H2.
Focal Range
Both lenses have the same focal range of
56mm but while Tokina atx-m 56mm F1.4 X has the fastest aperture of
F1.4, the Fujifilm 56mm F1.2 R APD's widest aperture value is
F1.2.
