InleidingLang have I doubted for this lens to buy. I saw all the positive reviews passing, but I also read the stories about the slow AF. I saw all the fantastic pictures float by, but I read stories that this lens has a successor, would get…
Finally I found a nice second hand offer of a provider, that’s also what other things sold that I wanted to have. Then I did the knot but decided to, and actually the choice was very simple: who do you believe?
Do you believe the gearhead the reviews that complain about the slow AF and the quirking of the aperture, or do you believe the people who are the most fantastic plates?
’nuff said…KenmerkenEen slow AF is not something I was very much awake would lie, because I already did a lot with manual focus lenses. Where I to me worse is inaccurate. This XF 35 is not the fastest lens in my bag, but he works in a consistent way. You learn pretty soon to feel any scene he “grabs” and which are not, and then you can easily anticipate. I find him easier in handling than the XF 56, for example.
Further, if the camera says that he is the focus to address, is that correct also. So no gesodemieter with front – or backfocus, what I do with my EOS ever had.
The latest iterations of Fuji’s firmware (V4.00 and above on the X-T1) are also a big improvement. Most of the negative comments about the slow AF of the XF 35 of the older devices such as the X-Pro1 and X-E1. I experience a few problems on field with this lens.
The brightness of the 1.4 is very good, and the viewing angle makes it a suitable lens for indoors.
The getjirp where people are talking about? Well, he is certainly not as quiet as the 18-55 for example. But it is also certainly not old gare Pentax-with-screw-OFF-crying. At long after. As a photographer you hear him still the best because of close proximity, but annoying at the very least.
If you have the lens against the sun in want to use, then you get (in my opinion) a pleasant surprise, because the way this lens flare is processed I find truly amazing. The colors and contrast pop then all of a sudden a lot in the vintage corner of the spectrum.
The roll off from sharp to blurred is very pleasant manner, whatever the lens very suitable for protretten. The vignetting (especially fully open) helps also a bit.ConclusieDe XF 35 is a very fine lens, and I notice that I the last few months increasingly this lens on the camera instead of the 18-55. The latter is more flexible with its zoom and OIS, but the 35mm has so much character that I have reduced flexibility like of) (serious).
When I this lens bought, was the XF 35/2’t out yet, what’s the choice a lot easier, if you doubt between the 1.4 and the 2.0. I would consider the 2.0 also, very seriously consider if I for that choice would stand.
I am superhappy with my 35/1.4, they must take him from my cold dead hands to pluck before I him ci.
