the fuji 35/2...have you looked at the images?

[Trius]

Yes, I have noticed 35/3 Fujinon's rendering is excellent.

Shoot it at f3 all you want, Willy - Rocket Man claimed f4 is where it's at. 😀

F/3 is good too... but f4, damn! My conclusion is based on, well, not much.

I like it a lot so far. I used it for two solid outings and it felt almost as transparent / comfortable as the Df I've been using for the last year plus. I guess what I want to say is it just works... no complaints so far. Images look really good. Unmistakably Fuji in its IQ (its non-bayer sensor) for better or worse. I like the look and with the 35mm at f/4... I'm getting some results I really like. All apertures are fine, but I think f/4 might be this lens' sweet spot. And don't usually care about that crap with lenses.

Have u tried the xp2 yet w/ other lenses. I'm curious if the newer faster af motor on the 35f2 vs other recent Fuji lenses is that much better... Is the 35f2 the fastest yet in other words. Right now 35f2 is my next purchase. Followed by I hope the future 23f2.

Being as seamless as a the DF is saying a lot about how good the xp2 has become.

Nope, no other lenses right now. I have a 23mm 1.4 incoming and I am working on getting a 56mm 1.2. I think that's a pretty nice trio of lenses.

Will be interested to hear what u think when u get the other lenses.

add the 16 and it would be perfect...😉

I use the X70 for my wides. I don't generally like going past 28mm. I did order the wide adapter for the X70 though.

These two are excellent lenses. The 56/1.2 is in the same league with the late generation Nikkor 105/2.5 AI I use to own.

While both of those lenses are heavier and larger than the 35/2. The build quality and optical rendering makes this disadvantage easy to swallow.

And I'm used to Nikon G versions of these lenses, so I've gotten over smaller equals better!

Well, being a Ricoh GR fan, I knew I'd have to have a X70. I prefer it to the GR now too. I've always liked Fuji. I just didn't like the AF speed and quirkyness of some of its cameras. Now these work pretty well. Still not getting rid of my Df though.

Interesting.. I would have thought the x70 af speed to be about same as x100t, but I guess they must have updated the af motor on it or the glass their moving is lighter.

How does it compare w/ the GR in terms of af lock speed in dim light? Or for that matter af speed in general?

It most likely is similar Gary... I don't like the X100t for other reasons. I think it is too small and the buttons too fiddly.

It is comparable in all ways... even in low light (same issue as GR). Works great in good-great light.

Thanks for update.. Hard to beat the GR 🙂. However if I didn't have the GR, I would get the x70 just for the Fuji colors and the control interface.

Has anyone compared this to SONYs SEL 35/1.8?

No friends of SONY in this thread it seems... 🙂

 

[jsrockit]

Is that Sony lens supposed to be good?

 

[cz23]

I've used my new 2.0 for a couple days now and think I'll keep it. I like the size and design and it seems faster and hunts less than the 1.4 on the X-Pro1. So the 1.4 will go.

I prefer the more certain aperture detents on the 1.4. And I like the old, larger focus ring better as well. But I mostly use the X-Pro as an AF camera, so the extra focus speed wins out.

For now I'm not feeling a pressing need for the X-Pro2, especially given the price.

Sony's corporate gestalt doesn't inspire me ... just sayin' In the audio sphere they come out with some statement products that are available to virtually no one. What good stuff that leaks through to general distribution is available for a few microseconds of Internet time.

Did I just start a spat?

This lens is definitely a keeper.
