This is a very good lens, made all glass with EBC technology, that means it will correct chromatic aberrations as good as fluorite glass lenses. It has "all metal" construction, and analog controls. It will work with all the X line of semi pro cameras with interchangeable lenses.

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.

Great lens - excellent optical and build quality. Super sharp at all apertures. A must have for owners of a Fuji X camera.

50mm is a weird focal length, either you love it or you hate it. I was raised with slr cameras all equipped with 50mm lenses and that's how I learnt to shoot, so I love this too narrow yet not long enough, never right perspective because you have to work at it.

This was my first purchase after getting my X-E2 camera. The reviews on it are amazing and comparable lenses from other manufacturers are upwards of...

Fantastic IQ; metal build; small size; comes with a hood; very sharp at 1.4

the Autofocus is a tad noisier than other Fuji lenses

This lens equates to a 50mm for full frame images. Lens is wildly sharp and has a very beautiful bouquet for out of focus background. Super nice hood and cap and great controls. So user friendly and the image results jump off the screen.

Sharp images; beautiful bouquet; fast focus; great controls; solidly made; hood and cap are a beautiful finishing touch

None ....

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.

I enjoyed using this lens for several days until it suffered "sticky aperture" syndrome. Became unusuable and am waiting a warranty replacement.Given my limited use, I will say it is very, very sharp and a great "normal" lens. Focus speed could be a bit faster (even on X-T1 body) but is acceptable.

Lightweight

Not Durable

What a great lens, sharp as a tack from corner to corner and super fast. It replaced the standard zoom and is the lens on the camera most of the time. A prime lens makes you work a little harder but the results are worth the time spent.

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
