Fujifilm XF50mm f/1.0 R WR: Bokeh King or Fine Art Lens?

Who is the new Fujifilm 50mm f/1.0 R WR lens for? A portrait photographer looking for ultimate shallow depth-of-field aka 'Bokeh'? How about a night photographer who needs the fastest possible aperture for the best image quality in low light situations? How about a fine art photographer who wants to use a high quality, high performance weather-sealed lens with autofocus? Depending on your budget, your ability to carry around a 850g lens, and your willingness to work around some of its inherent weaknesses, this lens is for all of the above, or none of them. I primarily used this lens as a low-light night photography lens, and it performed very well. I also tested it as a portrait lens, and I was pleased with the output of this lens, especially with Classic Neg and Classic Chrome film simulation. Watch this video for my final thoughts on the XF50mm f/1.0. Also check out my first impressions video and my Fujilove article where I share some of the same photos from this video:

**For those curious enough to read this, the reason for my autofocus issues has to do with a recent firmware update on X-T4. Previous to the update, the Viltrox 33mm f/1.4 worked perfectly on the X-T4 in video mode. I couldn't figure out what went wrong until I checked Viltrox's website and there was a lens firmware update to adjust for the X-T4's recent update. A good reminder to keep up with all firmware updates, both OEM and third party bodies and lenses. The lens is now updated and does not exhibit random hunting. Thanks.
