Hi Matthew. Nice job on your review of the 35mm f2. I have the 35mm f2 & absolutely love it. It is a great everyday “walk around” lens as it is so small & light weight. The image quality is also very nice. I am fortunate to also own the 33mm f1.4 lens . It is able to focus very quickly & is tack sharp. I am quite pleased with the image quality also. Maybe, I will purchase the 18mm f 1.4 lens at some point, as I believe that it is also quite sharp & also has a great build quality. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the photographic community. You have a great “voice” for you tube videos.😊
Cool, i have the lens but pictures show darker corners and a dark band left & right side. Looks like I shoot through a pipe. Wonder why only the center shows no dark?
Wow this is rad! Thanks for the vid. Just came from your Nikon F3 vid. I'm a film guy thinking about getting a digital for my girlfriend and I to play with on trips and what not. Is the Xt3 a good choice for someone like myself? Taking a mix of group photos and street photography. Thanks!
Thanks so much! As a film guy myself, I think the xt3 is a great bridge camera. The manual controls are wonderful and easy to pick up coming from film slrs. Also, the image quality is great, especially with the film simulations.
I've found that 35mm on a crop sensor does not noticeably distort anyone's face when shooting from normal portrait distances, similar to 50mm on a full-frame sensor or film.
The 35/1.4 is A LOT bigger and A LOT heavier, seriously ?? (164g vs 184g) - the difference is 20 grams not 20 pounds. The height difference is 4.5mm. The real difference is aperture F1.4vs F2, now you will say, that doesn’t make much difference. For weather sealing, i am sure all your film gear is weather sealed ;) … fuji weather sealing is gimmick anyway. Dude, go and hold both of them in your hand and use them instead of justifying your purchase here and misleading people.
After 2 dead, non sealed Fuji cameras and 1 XH2 going strong after use in some extreme Scottish conditions, I'd like to suggest that Fuji weather sealing is well worth it. They obviously aren't waterproof, but they make a difference to the point that all my lens choices are now firstly based on weather sealing. Of course, people shot film before weather sealing, but how many electronics were in your average film camera :).
Bought this lens two months ago; wear it on my X-E3 behind a Hoya UV filter and the original round Fuji lens hood. Its small size is a Big Plus.
Matt, don't neglect to mention the XC 35mm f/2 lens. Cheaper, lighter, but optically the exact same lens.
Enjoyed the video Matthew. I own this lens but not the square lens hood…it’s now on my “to purchase list”👍
It is a really great lens. Was my first lens for my X-T4 and use it until today for weddings.

Great vid thanks. I have just bought one of these so can't wait to give it a go. Cheers
Hope you enjoy it!
This is one of my favorite lenses and always with me when I go out. 🤙🏼
Excellent review, keep up the good work
Yes you deserve more subscribers. I am looking forward to the 18mm review
Thank you for the kind comment! Working on the 18mm review now.

A great entry lens? I "entered" years ago and this is still my favorite lens.
Does it distort the face for portrait 35mm f2 for make up portraits ? Thanks

Love this lens. Liking and commenting to try and get you more views.
Thanks for the support! I appreciate it!
7 months, 9 comments. RUclips must be burying this video
Yeah, not sure why, but thanks for engaging with the video and hopefully a comment or two will help get this one in front of more eyes!
absolutely useless hate comment

The 35 1.4 isn’t heavy at all.
the old 35/1.4 is way too slow.
@@AlexanderBischof it isn’t a speed lens to focus
