If I were in the market for a 35mm lens now I'd be tempted by Fuji's new f2 model.

Small; Neat; Very accurate autofocus; Light for a such a fast lens; Half decent lenshood; Image quality hard to fault, but if it sounds as though I am damning it with faint praise, I suppose I am: the lens is workman-like, reliable and very good but not great

This is now a fairly old lens; Autofocus is still good, but while more than fast enough for most things it is not super-fast and nor is it quiet; Performance optically is somewhere between very good and excellent, but I suspect the new f2 may have the edge based on the charts displayed here.

The 35mm (135 equivalent: 53mm) lens has a standard focal length with the angle of view similar to that of the human eye.

While I've always had a nifty fifty on my full frame kit, I didn't use it much. When I went to a smaller kit, it was one of my most used lenses. Sure enough, when I picked up Fuji, I bought this lens and couldn't be happier.

Purchased to fit a recently converted camera (to IR) - much pleased with the lens, though a squared-circular (!) hood / cap makes it a little awkward to remove the circular lens cap.

"Not the quickest to grab focus, not the most quite lens either but oh boy, when you get your image you will see the magic. Crazy sharp all around and just a joy to use. I chose this instead of the f2 version because I wanted to have the extra stops.

Fujifilm's X camera system launched in early 2012, and the Fujifilm Fujinon XF 35mm F1.4 R ($599) was one of the first three lenses available for photographers who were captivated by the appealing X-Pro1 ( at Amazon) . It covers a standard-angle field of view, and when shot at a wide aperture allows you to capture images with a shallow depth of field, which makes it an ideal first lens for the system. It's a good performer, although it doesn't focus as quickly as more recent Fuji lenses and sharpness drops off as you near the edges of the frame. Our Editors' Choice is a newer offering, the Fujinon XF 35mm F2 R WR ($399.00 at Amazon) —it's a stop slower, but is quicker to focus, smaller, sharper, weather-resistant, and less expensive. DesignThe XF 35mm F1.4 ($599.00 at Amazon)  measures 2.2 by 2.6 inches (HD), weighs 6.6 ounces, and supports 52mm front filters. It's no by means a large lens—it balances quite well even on a smaller body like the Fujifilm X-T10 ( at Amazon) . But it ...

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 35mm F1.4 R is a fast, compact standard-angle lens for Fuji mirrorless cameras, but focus is a little slow and edges are on the soft side.

Sharp center; Uniform illumination; Wide aperture; Nominal distortion; Physical aperture ring

Soft edges; A bit slow to focus; Electronic manual focus; Omits optical stabilization

I bought the XF35mm F1.4 R as part of a brand new X-T1 based system and it has rarely been off the camera since. I had played with one in the past so knew it was good but after a month of use it isn't just good, it is superb.

Lightweight; Razor Sharp; Wonderfully Tactile

Focus on this is critical as depth of field at f1.4 is very shallow, great Bokeh is very nice and it came with the latest update installed which make the focus a lot quicker than reported on a lot of reviews.
