New lens reviews and X PRO 1 versus Nikon D700 travel photography comparison.

Photozone published the 35mm f/1.4 X lens test: “Technically it may not be a perfect lens but it is capable of delivering very nice results. The center quality is breathtaking even at max. aperture whereas the outer image field is a bit soft here. From a real world perspective this is surely acceptable because you are rarely really after edge-to-edge sharpness when shooting at f/1.4.

SLRgear tested another FUji lens, the 60mm macro: “exceptional performance, even when used wide open. If you’re an X-Pro 1 user with an interest in macro photography, there really aren’t a lot of choices, so this is a must-buy.

The well known lens review website Photozone reviewed the first Fuji X lens, the 60mm macro f/2.4: “The Fujinon XF 60mm f/2.4 R macro is the best of the three initial lenses for the X-mount.

And SLRgear tested the 18mm f/2.0 lens: “very good performance, even when used wide open, and excellent performance when stopped down just a little. If you’re an X-Pro 1 user, this is another lens that definitely deserves a place in your bag.

Fuji 35mm f/1.4 tested at SLRgear and Photoheadonline.

The 35mm lens got tested by SLRgear and Photoheadonline. Both highly recommend this lens:

SLRgear (Click here) tested the Fuji 35mm f/1.4 X lens: “Very good performance, even when used wide open, and excellent performance when stopped down just a little. If you’re an X-Pro 1 user, this lens definitely deserves a place in your bag.

Photoheadonline (Click here) compared the lens with the Zeiss 35mm f/2.0 lens: “The Fujinon however, is made so well that it is the winner of this test. It gets a High Value to Cost Ratio for its performance at a wide open aperture, as well as price, weight, compactness, and versatility. The Fujinon 35mm edges out the Zeiss 35mm lens in each of those categories, but by just a little.
