Fujifilm XF35 mm F1.4 R Lens

Product Information

Looking at the bokeh, both lenses show a very similar drawing style. The XF 35mm f/1.4 retains a bit more uniform circles at wide apertures, while the rounded 9 bladed aperture of the XF 35mm f/2 shows a rounder appearance to the highlights at smaller apertures. However, the overall character is quite similar. We’ll call this one a draw. Close Up Findings Since the 35mm f2 focuses silently, it will be your best option for video. The 35mm f1.4 chatters a lot more, both with the aperture and the focus motors.

The 35mm f1.4 will not be corrected with the built in lens profile correction. What you see is what you get. When you shoot with Fujinon lenses the RAWs and JPGS are loaded with a built-in lens profile correction. When you load the images into your editing software, they come fairly corrected. I wasn’t going to make an Art & Character sections because both lenses are very similar and most of the differences between the two are only seen at f1.4 with the 35mm f1.4 lens. But I’ve looked deeper into the differences.The lens has 8 elements in 6 groups with one aspherical element. The aperture has 7 rounded blades, with its closest focusing distance at 28cm and a magnification ratio of 0.17x.

It’s built square to preserve space and keep everything compact. However, it does not fit comfortably onto the lens, and the rubber cap that attaches the hood to the lens does not fit snuggly and can fall off.When looking at these two lenses, the clear winner in terms of raw image output is the 35mm f1.4. It producer better bokeh and nicer corner sharpness plus it produces a full stop more light.

Unfortunately neither of these lenses are jaw dropping and the 35mm f1.4 is a little expensive when you compare it to the full frame Canon and Nikon 50mm f1.4. Yes, the Fuji 35mm f/1.4 is an exceptionally sharp lens, making it a great option for capturing high-quality images with great detail and clarity. Many photographers also report excellent performance when shooting at wider apertures, such as f/2 or f/1.4, further highlighting the sharpness of this lens. Fuji 35mm f/1.4 Review Recap If you’re new to the Fuji X Series lens system, there’s a good chance you’re grappling with a decision between Fuji’s 23mm and 35mm lens offerings.The great thing about this combination is that you can’t really go wrong. My personal kit contains the Fuji 35mm 1.4 + Fuji 23mm f2 (while I try or rent a lot of lenses, I only buy ones I see myself traveling with regularly). In case of Windows (Internet Explorer / FireFox / Google Chrome), hold down the “Control” key and “F5” key. After owning this lens for a few years now, I have taken it with me on many of my travels, capturing everything from epic cityscapes to street photography in my home city of London. You mentione a couple of time: “on the X-H1, the XF 35mm F1.4 R will also give you better IBIS performance” Thanks to Fuji’s proprietary Super EBC lens coating, the Fuji XF 35mm f/1.4 seems to handle ghosting and flare pretty well, especially at large apertures. There is a little bit of rainbow flare visible when shooting straight into the sun at large apertures, but it is not bad. However, when including bright sources of light in the frame at smaller apertures past f/8, you might witness something called a “ red dot flare“, which can be very distracting to look at: X-E1 + XF35mmF1.4 R @ 35mm, ISO 200, 1/75, f/16.0
