Description

The Fujinon XC 35mm f/2 has a traditional amount of focus breathing; the image gets bigger as it focusses more closely. All these filters are just as sharp and take the same pictures, the difference is how much abuse they'll take and stay clean and stay in one piece.

i don’t understand why we don’t finally change this whole 35mm lens (50mm 35mm or so equiv.) to the 23mm on 4/3 to be the new normal lens!! The images coming out of this lens are quite frankly great. This is one of the most amazing lenses you can get for relatively cheap for your Fuji camera. 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 best prime lenses you need to get for your Fuji. The only alternative to this lens is the Fuji 35mm 1.4 which is a bit bigger, more expensive and not WR. 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 obvious competitors are the XF 35mm f/1.4R. It’s the higher-priced counterpart of the XC lens. It’s much better built, weather-sealed, and has an aperture ring. It's all a question of time frame: long term you'll appreciate the quality feel of the XF 35mm f/2 long after the price has been forgotten - while if pictures are all that matter, this lens takes exactly the same pictures. 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. Full size samples Full size samples If this 1,200×900 pixel crop is about 6" (15cm) wide on your screen, then the complete image printed at this same very high magnification would be about 21 × 31" (1.7 × 2.6 feet or 50 × 80 cm).

Each takes exactly the same pictures. Both take 43mm filters, have the same 1.1'/0.35m close-focus distance, the same macro reproduction ratio, the same rounded 9-blade diaphragms stopping down to f/16 and both have 9 elements in 6 groups, with two aspherical elements each. The XF version also claims two ED elements, and for all I know could be the exactly same optics in these two lenses. Recommendations top It works well in a wide variety of situations, as standard primes usually do. It’s well-suited for portraiture, documentary, street, urban, and low-light photography, and many other genres.Unlike on many Fujifilm lenses, there is no aperture ring on the Fujifilm XC 35mm f/2. You have to use one of your camera’s customizable dials. Fujifilm cameras are usually well-equipped with these, but it becomes a problem on the X-T200, which only has two. If you map them to shutter speed and aperture respectively, the only way you can change the third parameter (ISO or compensation) is through the Q menu. The XC35mm f/2 is not weather resistant. So don’t expect it to make through a torrential downpour! Some light danish drizzle(read: heavy ass dark winter downpour) didn’t do anything bad to it over the course of the last month, so it does withstand a little something. But it is not classified weather resistant. So cover it with your hands out in the rain. X-Pro3 | XC35mm f/2 @f/2 It gives you a high level of sharpness. At f/2, the corners leave some room for improvement, but at around f/4 the lens reaches peak sharpness uniformly across the frame. While it is still softer than the XF 35mm f/1.4R, it’s very close.

The Fujifilm XC 35mm f2 is a new prime lens that offers an equivalent focal range of 52mm in 35mm format. What it brings to the table is a lightweight and highly portable design and delivers edge-to-edge sharpness in every image it takes. The lens is constructed from nine elements in six groups, including two aspherical lens elements. Autofocus is brought to us via an internal focussing system and stepping motor which in turn offer near-silent, fast and accurate AF performance. Finally, the lens features a 9-rounded diaphragm which produces beautifully smooth bokeh.

It has a dedicated aperture ring so that you can change your settings without looking at any screen. Since this lens has the WR on the name, I have to talk about Weather sealing. While it is probably resistant to some weather conditions I wouldn’t particularly trust it. Because the real litmus test for WR is the IP rating, and there is none on this lens.

The XF 35mm f/2 is an older, more expensive metal version. The XF version is much more durable and has the luxury of a real metal aperture ring. It promises to make the X-system more accessible for beginners and offers a low-risk investment option to newcomer photographers into the world of prime lenses. Unlike the XF version, this lens does not have a traditional aperture ring on the lens barrel, which allows you to set the aperture in 1/3 steps, complete with full aperture markings. Instead you have to change the aperture via the control dial on the camera body. The removal of the aperture ring does have the advantage of making this lens even shorter in length and lighter than its XF counterpart.
