Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 vs XF35mmF1.4 Size Comparison [UPDATED – And WHY]

Share

Yesterday I have shared [quote] “an approximate size comparison between the upcoming Fujinon XF33mm f/1.4 R LM WR and the glorious XF35mm f/1.4 R.”

Well, today I have to share a minor update to the original size comparison. The latest comparison can be seen above.

Now, as you can see, there is not much difference. The Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 R LM WR is sensibly bigger than the Fujinon XF35mmF1.4 R. However, in today’s size comparison, it is a tiny bit smaller than in yesterday’s mockup.

But in any case, if you desire a super fast autofocus, ultra high resolution and weather resistant lens, the XF33mm f/1.4 will be inevitably bigger than the the XF35mmF1.4.

I can hear you, why the (minor) adjustment in size today?

Well, it’s pretty simple.

I have made a couple of size comparisons taking the Fujinon XF18mmF1.4 as a base (I just changed the number “18 with “33”) and resized it in different versions. I have submitted those to sources asking which one they think could be the most accurate. I ended up with the recommendation of the mockup you can see today. However, yesterday I erroneously picked the wrong mockup. My sources noticed this, and asked me to correct it.

I apologize for that and I hope you value at least that it took me less than 24 hours to rectify my little error. ;)

And yet, it may be an error, but it doesn’t change the substance: the XF33mmF1.4 is and will be noticeably bigger than the XF35mmF1.4. Which is one of the reasons why FujiRumors always told you that this lens is NOT a replacement for the original XF35mmF1.4.

Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 will Weight “Less Than Half” than GF32-64mmF4

DON’T MISS IT: September 2 at 9AM New York Time – Fujifilm X Summit and Live Blog on FujiRumors

Lots, if not everything, has already leaked here on FujiRumors about the upcoming Fujinon GF35-70mm f/4.5-5.6.

We know about the collapsible lens design, we know about its size (see above), we know it will not have OIS and no aperture ring, we know its price.

Another tidbit, though, we can add today, is that the Fujinon GF35-70mm f/4.5-5.6 will weight less than half than the one Fujinon G mount lens I own and I am totally in love with as it is a prime lens that can zoom: the Fujinon GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR (which weights 875g).

I see what Fujifilm is trying to do here.

I mean, how the heck can any zoom lens compete with the stellar GF32-64?

Certainly the GF32-64 is unbeatable in terms of image quality. I mean, have you seen the image I’ve shared of the village I live in and I did a massive crop and you could still clearly recognize the curtains on my sleeping room? And the lovely pop it has even when shot af f/5.6?

If you can’t beat it in terms of image quality, then beat it in almost everything else: make it much smaller, much lighter and much more affordable, and it will have a chance to carve out its niche among Fujifilm GFX shooters.

I personally will stick with the Fujinon GF32-64mmF4. Mainly because I already own it, and because I used it on a 6 hours hike recently. I packed with my GFX100S in my small Camslinger Outdoor bag (yep, it still fits in that small bag !!) and hiked no problem with it.

So for now I don’t see the need for the GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6, although having such a light and compact G mount zoom would certainly be a temptation for those looking to make their GFX system as portable as it gets, maybe in combination with the super small GF50mmF3.5 prime.
