Reviewers from cameralabs have found:
When it comes to diffraction spikes, the XF 56mm f1.2 is clearly superior. For a second example, I photographed London’s Tower Bridge, again with both lenses from the same distance and closed to f16. Both lenses are pretty well-behaved in both regards, at least for the out-of-camera JPEGs. Keep reading for my final verdict or if you’d like to delve deeper, check out my outdoor resolution comparison on the quality page.
