So for my Fuji 35mm f2 review to be complete here’s full size samples to play around, both RAW and Full Size JPGs. Full size samples Full size samplesĪs always, I believe that all of the modern cameras and lens have good enough quality and to talk about it would be boring and redundant. The aperture range is perfect to handle low light situations, and since the Fujis have large sensors, they are fine at higher ISOs, making this a good choice for night photography. This is one of the best prime lenses you need to get for your Fuji. It produces sharp images with shallow depth of field, and don’t get me started on the rounded diaphragm blades (aperture blades) that create pleasing Bokeh. This is one of the most amazing lenses you can get for relatively cheap for your Fuji camera. The images coming out of this lens are quite frankly great. There is both an aperture ring and focus ring but no depth of field scale, so street photographers, take note. It’s the same 43mm thread as other Fuji lenses so it’s a pretty standard filter size if you are looking to attach filters. It feels very solid but not quite premium, and like I said above it also comes with an anodized lens hood. Sure lens construction metal of plastic doesn’t add nor detract from the image quality but there’s something undeniably attractive about them. If you want real metal lenses nowadays only those two make them. It is also one of the rare real metal lenses you can get outside of the Leica world. This is a small enough lens that can be taken anythere. This is not one of those larger lenses from Fuji’s stable. If you ask me it just looks weird when you have a larger camera, and a lens that gets smaller as you reach the front. This comes with the lens and also protects the front lens element. That is why this looks way better with the hood on. ![]() Onto the lens design: this lens features one of the things I don’t like about some of the Olympus lenses, namely that the front of the lens is smaller than the back of the lens, leaving it with a deflated look. So don’t keep your cameras out if it starts raining, even if it claims to be Weather resistant. Not knocking Fuji, other manufacturers do the same. By slapping a generic “WR” on there they can always weasel out of the liability. It’s understandable, if Fuji puts an IP rating in there, they become liable if the lens breaks. Because the real litmus test for WR is the IP rating, and there is none on this lens. While it is probably resistant to some weather conditions I wouldn’t particularly trust it. Since this lens has the WR on the name, I have to talk about Weather sealing. It has a dedicated aperture ring so that you can change your settings without looking at any screen. Let’s start this Fuji 35mm f2 review by looking at the lens itself. Let’s get into the Fuji 35mm f2 review proper. They have been processed with these Lightroom presets here. The size is important not only because of portability (it can fit in your pocket) but also because it doesn’t attract too much attention to you and your camera, making it great for street photographers.Īll of the images in this page have been shot in Jeju, Korea as I was leaning Korean language at the university. Enter the Fuji 35mm f2, a lens that not only has a very attractive price point but is also keeps a rangefinder lens size. The only alternative to this lens is the Fuji 35mm 1.4 which is a bit bigger, more expensive and not WR. ![]() By default then it’s great for portraits and all around shooting, and the Bokeh at this focal length at the maximum aperture of f2 is really nice. It features superb image quality, weather resistance, rounded 9-blade diaphragm and controls chromatic aberration very well.īecause X cameras are all APSC sensors the 35mm has an effective focal length of 52.5mm, so this is essentially a nifty fifty f2. The Fuji XF 35mm f2 is probably one of the most desirable lenses for the X mount cameras.
