This is my one and done lens for the last 6 years!👍🏻

This is the best lens review I have ever seen. You actually explain the characteristics of this lens with robust examples. Thank you so much. I have fuji 35 f2 + xpro2 and trying to make decision to buy or not 35 1.4

Great review. People talk about the magical character of this lens but none have explained what it actually is. Well done for clearly showing why its faults are actually its strongest points. I'm subscribing to your channel. Looking forward to more from you.

The old 16mm 1.4 and 35mm 1.4 definitely have that character look that brought us all over to Fujifilm, but they dont keep up as well as the WR counterparts when it comes to the auto-focus the market is evolving towards.

Great channel, thanks

Great review and I’d love you to do the same with the xf18mm f2 and xf60mm f2.4 both quirky, unloved, “imperfect” lenses but released at a similar time to the xf35mm f1.4

as long as I have a Fujifilm camera, this lens will never get sold! It does need to come out my bag more often though for sure! great images too btw!

I've owned this lens for almost 10 years and I never knew about the field/focus curvature, but now I've seen it I can't unseen it ! It's kind of awesome, explains now why I love this lens, but I could never put my finger on why ! Thanks.

Absolutely beautiful photographs. Love them.

man, your shots feel so emotional, in a good way. Thanks so much for sharing. btw, did you post process the photos or just Fuji film simulations?

I'm here a year late. I'm sure RUclips wanted me to see your review after I saw GxAce say great things about the lens. I've already bought it now (like a few hours ago). But what made me push "Subscribe" was when you said you preferred things with character and quirks. New subscriber because that sums me up, too.

I liked it a lot. I've got the lens and it is a favorite. You take very warm images, not in color temperature, but in human emotion. Good work, Gilmer.

perfect video before i buy a used one later. Cheers man!

I bought an X-Pro2 and 35mm 1.4 in 2016 and fell in love with the images. I never knew about the "bubble" but wow, it has always been magic for me. The music you chose is beautiful and complements amazing photos.

Great explanation of what makes this lens so loved. Mine comes today!

Awesome format! Really genuine personality and great real world review. Love it! Sub from me 👍🏻

Is this lens aviable in silver?

Agreed. The 35mm f1.4 was the best 35mm lens i ever used on fuji cameras until i tried the kipon-iberit 35mm f2.4 manual focus

You’re great 😁

Great video! Thanks a lot! ❤

Extremely well done, Nathan ! Concise, to the point, with conclusions backed up by real life examples. The first review I've seen that does a good job of explaining the character of this very interesting lens. Thanks for sharing your insights. Slainte !

There are numerous reasons why this video is excellent. Your photographs are impressive, and your observation about the bokeh transition from sharp to soft is a unique insight that I have not encountered before. Well done! I will subscribe to your channel immediately.

Great review. Absolutely incredible photos. So impressed

I've purchased a mint second-hand one because of this review! Receiving it tomorrow. Can't wait 🎉

Wow nice pictures man. Great vide. What kinds of Simulation do you shoot with?

MAN, YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS ARE STUNNING. YOU ARE TRULY AN ARTIST WITH SOUL IN THEIR WORK. THANKS FOR THIS GREAT LENS VIDEO AS WELL. I HAVE AND LOVE THIS LENS AND YOU EXPLAINING WHY WE LOVE IT MADE ME LOVE IT EVEN MORE. BUT YOUR WORK... I'M SPEECHLESS. SO MUCH AMAZING STUFF ON YOUR WEBSITE. KEEP CREATING, KEEP PUBLISHING AND ALL THE BEST WITH YOUR COMMERCIAL WORK AS WELL AND ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR FAMILY. THANK YOU!

I have a full Canon system. Great for pro work, great af fast shutter speeds nice L lenses.... And yet.. As I grow old I have move from craving the technical best to something that I enjoy using. I find myself loving a analog Kodak retina IIc.... Not because of film but because of how it feels shooting, how distorting am I with the environment... Nobody likes a huge black and white chunk of a camera on their face.

thank you

subscribed just because you are offering something different in terms of "character reviews". What is your opinion on the 18mm F2?

Awesome review and beautiful images!

Nathan, this is the best review for XF35 1.4 or any other character lens. Thank you!

sick shots!🎉 thanks for the revies

Hey, great video! This is an actual review of someone that has use the lens and really knows it well. Your comment about the intentional design of shooting medium distance from the subject caught my attention. Do you have any reference for further reading regarding this lens, I did a google search; but with no lock on the topic as you mentioned. Thanks for the video!

Best photography video I've watched. Explained the magic of this lense better than 20 other reviews. Didn't try to sell me anything and did it calmly. Followed!

i always noticed the characteristic of the field curvature but never realized that is exactly what is was. this is my all time favorite lens. it's amazing how it enhances/isolates subjects, but yet stopped down it is super sharp all over.

Awesome pictures. Really great work! ⚡ I love this lens too. What aperture do you use more often, when shooting with this lens?

Great review. Thank you.

Really awesome review, I also love this lens. You have helped me understand why it looks so great, thanks. I also really like your work! How do you color grade your pictures, if I may ask.

You're a great photographer man. I'm getting this lens and im pumped to have found your work.

Inspiring man.

I don't think there are enough comments about how incredible your photos are. So much story and character to each image, colours are magnificent too. Bravo.

Very good explanation and first time I heard someone explaining the out of focus transition curvature on this lens 👌🏻

you should try the zeiss 32mm f1.8

Really enjoyed your review👍 you described the magic of the 35 1.4 to a T. One of my favorite lenses. 👌 Don't know if you have the 16mm 1.4 but it is another splendid piece of glass.

Wow. Instant subscribe. That's what I want from a lens review. Tech side matters, but the "emotional" side of it gets neglected more often than not. And it's THE side that makes photography what it is.

This is a great video. Would love to see more

I don’t own this lense but I had the same inexplicable feeling with photos I took with the 60mm 2.4. I also have the 35mmf2. A very good lense but it’s like it’s too digital. if that makes any sense. Now, let’s talk about you : you have a good eye! Amazing pictures! Amazing colors too. Do you use any “Fuji recipe”, or do you edit Raws?

I fully agree with a lot of the comments here, really really love your review style, calming and friendly, you're not trying to sell me anything, just show the fun side of the lens. Personally I adore seeing examples that aren't just weddings and models constantly and you delivered, kudos to you on this journey and I'll be watching, Subscribed

damn. you just sold me a lens i didn't think i needed!

Very good review. Really nice photographs!!!
