Fuji Xf 35Mm F1.4 Lens

[0.09 lb] In my previous review, it should read : XF 23mm is unavailable for both f2 and f1.4. Not 35mm. Apologies.

[FUJIFILM X] I've been using Fuji XF 35mm f2 for mostly but I've been wanting a little wider angle lens for some time. Then, XF 35mm are now unavailable for both f2 and f1.4, so I looked at Sigma. Since I love Sigma 30mm f1.4 DC DN very much, I decided to get this one. It turned out to be a great decision. The pictures turn out so clear and beautiful. The angle is great, not as wide as 16mm, but wide enough to capture a lot of scenery, and the whole body of my dog easily. The only concern was its weight, a bit heavier than I'm used to on my small T30II. But once I started using it, I didn't find the weight a problem at all. It's not WR, but I don't take pictures when it rains. I highly recommend it.

[Aluminum] I did not like how the original hood looks which comes with Fuji XF 35mm F2. So I purchased this. Now I am so happy to carry around with my XS10. It is solid and nice balance with the camera for my daily snaps.

[Autofocus] I have several exceptional Fuji lenses (56mm f1.2, 16mm f1.4, and the 35mm f/2), and this 90mm f/2 is no exception. I needed a little extra reach when shooting sports, so this 137mm equivalent, coupled with the lightning fast XT-3 (30 frames per second) basically guarantees that I capture the images Im looking for. The included polarizing filter really helps neutralize harsh lighting conditions.

[f/1.2] I really enjoy using this lens. I also have the XF35mm F1.4, which I love as well, but the Voigtlander is just more fun to use. This lens has just as much magic as the XF lens, if not more. Especially at 1.2, the flares you can get are beautiful. I like the size. The whole reason I bought into the Fujifilm system was to have a small setup. In order to get a F1.2 autofocus lens, I would think the size would be larger than what I'd want to carry. I do hope Voigtlander continues to make more X-mount lenses. I'd like to see an 18mm and a 56mm. The cons: -Manually focusing can be a challenge sometimes, like when you're shooting low to the ground -I wish it was weather resistant -It would nice if it had a focus tab

[f/2] Was looking to upgrade from my 15-45mm kit lens, the XF 35mm was the perfect choice. The focusing felt faster when doing portraits and the aperture was adequate for capturing the aurora borealis over the Northeast a few weeks back. Highly recommend any beginner photographer choose this to develop their craft.

[Black] This lens pouch is very well made and fits my Fuji XF 100-400 perfectly with the lens foot and 1.4x teleconverter attached..

[0.63 lb] This metal hood is a great alternative to the supplied lens hood for the Fuji XF 23mm lens, which makes the lens look too bulky. It also has a less intrusive look than the original lens hood, making it less intimidating for people when you take their pictures. Having said that, his hood causes a tiny amount of vignetting on the Fuji XF 23mm lens when you mount it on top top of a standard UV protective filter. To prevent vignetting, use a super slip profile UV filter on your XF 23mm lens.

[Neoprene] The Fujifilm XF 200mm is a magnificent instrument in terms of its build and its optics. It is sharp and built like a tank. Even the lens case is perfect. The total package is a throwback to another era in terms of build and attention to detail--a marriage of engineering and craftsmanship. I always considered this lens an eloquent solution for the x system in terms of speed and focal length. The teleconverter adds flexibility--280mm at F/2.8 with very little impact on the image. The regular retail price of $6k was high, but not out of the ballpark when compared to 300mm f/2.8 lenses offered by other brands. A deal on sale at $3999. My only complaint relates to the X system. The lens is one part of the system. Fuji needs to build a camera body worthy of this lens. Fuji can start by improving its AF.

[f/4] I was looking at purchasing the original XF 10-24mm OIS lens, and then Fuji released this update which has weather sealing and a fully printed aperture ring in addition to optical image stabilization. It has been one of the most used lenses for my Fujifilm system. Very happy with the results!
