About this deal

The XC35mm f/2 features the same plastic X-mount as the XC lenses before it. The barrel is also plastic. One thing that users will probably notice right away is the missing aperture ring. Thats right. Aperture must be set using a camera command dial. No biggie for some. For others like me, it’s pretty goddamn annoying! I usually use the front command dial of my X-Pro3 as the ISO-dial, for fast exposure switching. When I have the XC35mm f/2 on there I need to switch between the two functions using a toggle-key. Both lenses also feature the same focussing motor, and I found that they focus exactly the same in terms of speed, and accuracy. This is actually a dual exposure. Portrait shot at f/2.8. Bokeh is from a closeup of some christmas lights shot at f/2. Image Quality

The lens palette includes a wide range of zooms and primes, cheap and professional, general-purpose and specific lenses made by Fujifilm and others. It’s hard to know exactly for sure if the optical chemistry and design are identical but I’m pretty sure it’s the same, based on what I’ve seen from various samples. Autofocus But is the XC35mm f/2 really a completely different character than is premium quality XF lens sibling, the XF35mm f/2R? Well upon further inspection. Not really that much! Build and feel With a 9-bladed rounded diaphragm I get soft 18-pointed sunstars on brilliant points of light mostly at the smallest apertures.This is not one of those larger lenses from Fuji’s stable. This is a small enough lens that can be taken anythere. It is also one of the rare real metal lenses you can get outside of the Leica world. If you want real metal lenses nowadays only those two make them.

There are a few things that are the same between these two lenses and a few that are different. Choosing which lens you need should be fairly obvious. Image QualityThe XC 35mm f/2 is clearly aimed at beginners just buying into their first serious camera system. It is reasonably priced to fit that role.
