I found my 35mm 1.4 is sharper on my X-T5 than my X-T30, where it was already very good. It may not outperform the newer Fujifilm lenses, but I am very pleased at its performance on my X-T5. BTW, my 16mm 2.8 really shines on the X-T5.
Thank you for making this video. I love my 35mm f/1.4 and just purchased the X-T5. I did not buy the camera for the 40mp but for the autofocus, IBIS and the LCD like the X-T3. This is my stills camera - I use the X-S20 for video. 😊
My all-time favourite lens. Using it on my X-T3 for 2,5 years now. Thinking about upgrading to a X-T5 tho because of AF, IBIS and better battery life. Still hard to justify buying it yet. Waiting for a good cashback or second hand deal.
Lovely photographs, showing what you can get with this lens on the new, larger sensor. I am still on the x-t30 but will try to remember to use f2 more; I think I am more often inside and getting anxious about high iso values so perhaps too quick to just open the aperture all the way.
The 33 just doesnt draw the viewer in the same way the 35 did, and as a result I dont get so excited to use it. No arguing with the results, but story gets a bit lost I find. Have been thinking of swapping the 33 back for a 35, but I do value the perfoemance gains. Have been experimenting with custom profiles and diffusion filters to try and put some character back in the new lenses. -2 or -3 sharpness plus about the same woth clarity and small weak grain bring those new lenses back to earth a little. Newbie with the filters, but looking forward to experimenting some more.
Maybe his got damaged? I have a older 23 1.4 with the same issue, my friend’s copy is sharp all aperture but mine is not at 1.4. Sent it back to Fuji and turned out it’s damaged.
I really wanna pick up this lens, but I can’t afford it right now. 😂 it’s gonna have to wait a bit. Also, awesome video. You’re right you don’t need new gear to better photographer. You need skill. 👍👍👍
Just bought a used one, had this lens 8 yrs ago, was stolen. When it arrives It will stay on my T30 :) ...Selling my Fuji 35 F2.0 to get some $$ back. really want the 1.4
Hello, first of all, I enjoyed watching your very informative video. I would appreciate your response as I am not a professional photographer. My Fujifilm X-T5 camera came with the XF16-80mm lens. It has a maximum aperture of f/4 at 16mm. Let's say that there is a group of people in front of a painting inside of a museum, would you use a 23mm or 35mm lens? I am considering purchasing either with f1.4. Thank you!
I don't want to sell my 3yr old Fuji primes for the newer ones. So have you used any older lenes and seen a big difference vs the newer lens of the same focal length?
I just tested the new 23mm and it is a lot better then the old one, the 33mm is an improvement over the 35mm but in my opinion not that big and the new 56mm f1.2 has the best image quality on the Fujifilm system so far. If I had to upgrade one it would be the 23mm because it is spectacular on the new 40mp sensor.
@@AndreiDimaReviews BTW are you sure the soft corners aren't at least partially the result of field curvature (so focusing in the corners would improve it)?

Thank you for sharing! I was thinking of trying out the 16mm f2.8 on the X-T5.
What a unique voice, in every sense. Excellent breakdown of what is proving to be an enticing, unbeatable camera-lens combo.
Thank you!
This lens is an all time favorite. Good to hear it can still perform well with the new sensor
It is a special lens.

Its a great lens!
Exactly my scenario haha even down too the 2.5 year
I just got the XH2, this lens looks amazing with it to me. I was using it with my XT3.
Of all of my 15 Fujifilm lenses, this is one of my favourites!
This is the only Fujifilm lens I will never sell.

Just get it first time to match with my XT1, so exciting to see what they can do!

Really strange but I have a 35mm f1.4 that is perfectly sharp from 1.4. They must have huge sample variations in this lens. Works great on my X-T5

Great shots of Valencia mate. Thanks for the lens review just ordered one myself, cheers.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the lens.
Looks great to me. The level of detail on those crop shots was impressive.
Its still a great lens, a bit soft at f1.4 because of ghosting but still sharp for any application.
@@AndreiDimaReviews the X-T5 and 35 1.4 is going to be my main combo, so this was a great video you put out. As always, excellent work, Andrei.
@@awake780 thank you!

Nice job Andrei 🙂
Thank you so much!

@@AndreiDimaReviews i wish they stick with the clutch focus ... Hard to get rid of my old 16 and 23:(
I have this lens and LOVE it. Fantastic photos
Cool. Thank you!
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
That was useful... thanks!
Glad I could help!

What about the f2 version?
Did the tamron 17-70 perform well on this sensor ? Debating picking it up this week
Hey, I will release a video about the Tamron 17-70 on the Fuji X-T5 later today.
@@AndreiDimaReviews your a angel 🤟🏾 thank you so much
A legend I love it 🫠
Yes it is!
Is it noisy during autofocus?
Yes.
I opted for the 33 1.4, but I never had the 35, 1.4. 🖖
