Fujifilm announced the new XF 56mm f/1.2 R lens a day before CES 2014 opened its gates to the public and the Nippon manufacturer said that it would be available on market shelves starting February 2014.

If you're wondering what the lens looks like straight out of the box, Michael R. Cruz has just received a test sample and posted a few photos made during its unboxing.
