Just got a Fuji 56/1.2 R. I would post it in the X-Pro 1 thread but this is more about the lens as opposed to the camera.
First impression -
Box - unnecessarily big. Why are they so big? I have bigger L glass or Sigma lenses in smaller boxes.
Construction - It's pretty good, all metal, very tight tolerances. The hood it comes with is a proper full size one and can reverse screw in for compact size and can still shoot the lens with it reverse and still can change the aperture which is handy.
Focus - Slow and loud, on my X-Pro 1 it gives me 85L a run for its money in terms of focus speed which is saying something. I'm sure it'll be faster on the X-Pro 2 or XT-2.
Bokeh - TBC
Sharpness - TBC
Colour - TBC
On a whole, for £770 for a 1.2 is good. Although it's in theory a 1.8 bokeh lens at 85mm which is double of the Canon which I had and focus a miles faster. I wonder why its so slow even though it is internal focusing. The reason the 85L is slow is mostly because it move the front element.
