The XF35 f/1.4 was my first Fuji prime to add to the 18-55 kit for my X-E1. I bought the XF35 f/2 when I needed the focus speed and weatherproofing for covering bicycle races, with the X-T1. For everything but sports I still grab the f/1.4 first, it is the character of that lens.
Im here exactly because Im a passionate cyclist and looking for answers as to if the 35 f2 will work for me on the bike, I have the 23 f1.4 but its not weather resistant and the AF in contineus doesnt quite nail it everytime... is there somewhere where I can see your shots? thanx
Hi Chris, Congratulations to you both on your silver anniversary! Were the comparison photos at the end taken on the same camera, or at least cameras with the same internals? Thanks!
thanks! the photos for the 35 1.4 were taken on the X-E4, and the other were on the X-E1. 👍
Congrats on your silver! I have the XC35 f2 , which coupled to my X-Pro1 is a great combo. Not had them very long but had some very pleasing results at the Revival last weekend.
Very nice!
i have an X-T20 to play around with personally went I don't want to lug my Canon full frame kit. I have the 16-50mm and made the XF 35mm F/2 my first prime. I really enjoy it. It's a solid lens. The AF is snappy, its sharp and the contrast is good. I'm using it for travel, personal casual shooting and some street photography. So far so good. I've found myself mostly shooting Acros which has been just beautiful.
The 35mm f1.4 is a great lens and that's the reason why it's not discontinued and why Fuji will keep producing it despite the new 33mm but the truth is I'm happy with the f2 version and seldom use the older version and the same goes for all the f2 Fuji lenses except for the 16mm f1.4 which is so superior to the f2.8 version. Anyway thanks for the review! Cheers!
I own both and agree... buy both!
I had the XF f/2 for years before getting the f/1.4 based on the hype. The hype is true! Not a single regret for the costly redundancy.
Love both, but the faster lens is on the camera 80% of the time. The f/2 comes out when weather is a factor because its weather resistant.
Can the 35 1.4 keep up with documenting family life (kids age 2-7) for photo and video, as a one camera (XT 5) one lens solution, or should I sacrifice the special qualities and go with the 2.0, or perhaps even the 33 1.4? Thank you.
I use it for my kids and have no issues. AF isn’t very quick, but that’s easy to overcome.
I had some numbers of Fujifilm lens,but the 35mm f/1.4 was my all the time favourite lens.
The 35mm f1.4 is a magic lens and was the one on my x-e2 when it first came out. After comparing my pictures to my Canon SLR sold all my Canon kit!
Happy anniversary! I have the 35 F2 but I’d seriously look at that 1.4 if I could find a good one locally.
thanks! Yeah, it's really worth it in my opinion.
I agree it was one of my first Fuji lenses back with the XPro1 when it first came out. Black and white oh my god that was an amazing filmic look
I bet. BW with this lens would be amazing.
Hello @@ChrisOrange, I follow your videos since the beginning. And this is the first time I notice such beautiful "film simulation" in your portraits. I mean: during the anniversary of your friends, the profil/preset you used is... absolutely gorgeous! How did you get that? 😳
1) settings on-camera?
2) presets in post-production?
Could you please give me/us more information about that? What recipe did you used? The results are very film-alike, and very appealing. Thanks for your good work and see you soon.
From France, Cyril.
@@cm4340 hi there, thanks for comment - I’ll get Matt, who took the photos to reply to you and let you know. Cheers! Chris
Wow thanks a lot @@ChrisOrange, this would be very kind and useful to me. Really appreciate your support. See you soon. 😃
The 35-1.4 is a magical lens very filmic color and black and white and teamed with the xpro 1 it’s absolutely amazing beautiful character and a combination that cannot be beat
wonderful - lots of people will be with you on that one. 😊👍
Hi. What camera is in your hand at 4:29? Looks so compact! Thanks.
Fujifilm X-M1 👍
35 1.4 has analogue character, like getting your turntable out and listening to vinyl records again, that warmth. Pair it with X-t1 with classic chrome, then go to the beach. Or with newer Fuji cams, shoot classic neg or nostalgic neg.
I own the 35f2 with my XT2 I just wonder if the 35f1.4 will be sharper and better character Chris?
definitely has more character in my opinion. sharpness not too much different. it's the bokeh that's incredible.
I have got both. The 35mm f2 is sharper. The 35 f1.4 has more character and a less digital look to it's images. The 35 f2 excels outdoors in sunshine. Bags of contrast and pin sharp. The 35 f1.4 is unbeatable indoors... bokeh and filmic look... fabulous.
@@shaun432 what about the F2 indoors in a well lit area, for weddings for example? Will the dark spots be noisy?
This lens is drawing me crazy 😀 i have 18f2, xc35f2, 50f2. But i want that 1.4. xc35 is quick and "do everything" lens. I am using it for quick snaps in busy places or events. My 50f2 also is quick, but dedicated for bokeh and portraits (nothing professional, just kids, wife or friends). I wonder, if i swap xc to 1.4, maybe it would serve as my portrait lens instead of my 50f2 and i can sell it. For that money i can get also quick 23f2 (35f2 sometimes is not wide enough and my 18f2 is sometimes too wide). So 23 will serve as quick snap in action and 351.4 for bokeh, portrait, and special " art" 😀 i love character of 18f2, this is my most loved one. 35 1.4 may suit wery well with it. Is it a good plan? What do you think? 😀
great plan! Im going to add the 35mm 1.4 to my 18 mm f2.0. What did you do at the end? Are you happy?
i really like my xf35 1.4 :) And congratulation on your silver :)
Thanks!
Please pardon my ignorance, but who is Matt?
Hi Chris, I love your conclusion…you justified my most recent purchase and guilt over owning both these lenses. 🤣. The only problem is my f/2 is silver and with the 1.4 being black…the wife might start to wonder…😅
haha!!
Now that you have convinced me to pickup an X-E1…it arrived yesterday ! So going out this weekend to test both the f/2 and f/1.4…would be interested in your experience / perspective.
👍🤣🤣😂
I have 18f2 with square hood. 35f1.4 has the same hood, so i hope it will not attract my wife attention... 😅
isnt the f2 youre holding the xc?
xf f2 and xc f2 are the same lens in different body. At first fuji released plastic one, but than rehoused in weather sealed body and sold twice more expensive.
The xf 35 1.4 is magic..
The F2 is technically sharper though, no?
The 35mm f1.4 is definitely not forgotten I’d say it’s the most raved about lens to date still because of its character
The 35mm f/1.4 lens is optically corrected for distortion. The 35mm f/2 lens is not; it has significant barrel distortion. Correction is applied to JPEGs in-camera, resulting in cropping of the original image.
When your so early your not sure what to say😅
my favorite lens by far the 1.4. Some of my favorites include the 23mm f.2 and the 80mm f2.8 macro. I think my next lens will be the 16mm f1.4. Also just purchased an XE-1 on your recommendation. Cant wat to try the legendary xtrans 1 sensor.
I like 35.4 very much.
Ah, the character and magic… is it 1.4 or is it in the lens? They have said the same of my Contax/Yashica (Zeiss) 50 1.4 and 85 1.4 and those lenses are gorgeous - but when I’ve nailed the shot, the magic has been within me, not my kit. That said, an excellent street shooter, Mel Breyer almost shot exclusively with the 35 1.4 till she switched to, drum roll, Sony…
I just can't say enough nice things about the 35f1,4.
F2 plastic guy is probably the starkest sharpest Fuji x lens I ever owned.
FUJIFILM 35mm f1.4 is three times the price of f2 in my country. I don't think it's worth that much.
I have got the 35mm f2 and am annoyed at the "magical" praise the f1.4 gets.
Always make me wonder if I should get it instead haha
Do you think it is really worth having both?
I don't like lenses with caracter. Caracter is what I make myself.
The f2 WR all lifelong ! Faster, quite smaller, WR, way better precision, better minimum focus distance for amazing bokeh shoots.
No reason for the 1.4
i read in reviews that the 35 1.4 has the much better minimal focus distance. i remember having seen even example pictures.
