FIRST LOOK: XF 35mmF2 WR at the X-Pert Corner

It’s a pretty hot discussed question in these days: XF35mmF2 WR Vs. XF35mmF1.4.

Recently ePhotozine assigned to the new XF35mmF2 5 out of 5 stars here… and the more we read, the more this high rating seems to be justified.

Let’s start with the inital thoughts of FXF member Stonehorn we can find at the dedicated XF35mmF2 FXF thread, who compares build quality, IQ, AF and makes his conclusions. Click here to read it.

Also admiringlight posted a comparison between these two lenses. And we have a winner: the new XF35mmF2 WR, especially due its better edge sharpness and AF-speed. Admiringhlights conclusions:

“Both lenses are quality optics, but it’s clear to me that the 35mm f/2 shows some clear improvement in optical quality over the 35mm f/1.4. Both will do a great job, and the f/1.4 lens draws beautifully while providing that extra stop of speed, but the 35mm f/2 shows what Fuji can do with an extra few years of lens design for the X-Series”
