Fujifilm XF35 mm F1.4 R Lens

Product Information

I say that because a lot of people say if you shoot stopped down you can just get the f2, but even then they still have different rendering. It’s not just about sharpness. ISO 200, f1.4, 1/280 The Fujifilm XF 35mm F1.4 R lens boasts a metal mount, high-grade metal barrel and non-rotating 52mm filter thread. The focus ring is generously wide, smooth in action without being loose, and has a ridged, rubberised grip band. There are “hard stops” at either end of the 28cm-infinity focus range. There is not much here to say about the build quality of these two lenses. In a few words, both are built really well. The casing is solid, the aperture rings feel really nice and the focusing rings feel great too. A look at the heights of the two Fujifilm 35mm lenses It has an optical formula comprised of 15 elements in 10 groups including two aspherical elements to help limit distortion and spherical aberrations and three ED elements to reduce flare and ghosting.

The blue column represents readings from the centre of the picture frame at the various apertures and the green is from the edges. Averaging them out gives the red weighted column. At maximum aperture, sharpness in the centre of the frame approaches very good levels, but the clarity towards the edges of the frame lags behind somewhat. At very wide apertures this phenomenon is rarely much of an issue, with greater importance being paced on sharpness in the centre of the image. In summary, there is not much to complain about this lens sharpness-wise. When shooting JPEG, it seems like there is little difference between f/1.4 and and f/5.6 in the center (which is remarkable), thanks to the smart lens corrections applied by Fuji. Corners are a little weaker at large apertures, but that’s about it. When shooting RAW, results will vary depending on what RAW converter you use. Based on my tests, I would say that Photo Ninja is probably the next best thing to JPEG images. Bokeh The XF 33mm F1.4 is an even larger lens than the XF 35mm F2, which weighs 170g and measures 46mm in length, due to having a one-stop faster maximum aperture plus a more complicated optical construction. Apochromatic lenses have special lens elements (aspheric, extra-low dispersion etc) to minimize the problem, hence they usually cost more.Magnification: The lens has a maximum magnification of around 0.17x. While this is decent for general close-up photography, it falls short of the magnification capabilities of dedicated macro lenses that can achieve 1:1 (life-size) magnification or higher. Macro lenses allow you to capture fine details of small subjects, such as insects, flowers, or intricate textures, at a much higher level of magnification. With the lens set to its maximum aperture of f/1.4, there is some light fall-off in the corners, requiring you to stop down by at least 3 f-stops to completely prevent it. Distortion

Every subject matter I photographed returned great results at all apertures. It even performed better than some of the more modern lenses I've had the opportunity to try, so straight away, I was very impressed. The minimum focusing distance of 28 cm is very useful for the finer details, and the lens produces buttery-soft bokeh at the widest aperture. The Fuji 35mm f1.4 is certainly not the cheapest lens you can buy, but for a flagship lens the price point tends to be pretty affordable. Compared to Fuji’s other first generation prime lenses, the 16mm f1.4 and the 23mm f1.4, the 35mm is by far the most affordable at almost half the price. As I write this, I’m settling into northern Iraq, taking a break from the last 6 years of moving around. I’ve got much more gear than the X-Pro body and the one lens I started out my travels with. But in a grab and run situation, the X-Pro and the XF35mm f/1.4 is still the kit that my hand is going to fall on, no matter what I’m shooting. The Fujifilm XF 33mm F1.4 R LM WR is a fast standard prime lens for Fujifilm's X-series range of APS-C format mirrorless cameras. It is extremely important to point out that cross-brand comparisons with Imatest data should never be done. Meaning, you should not compare data from a Nikon lens to a Fuji lens. That’s because Imatest analyzes the lens + camera combination to quantify lens performance. This means that such variables as sensor resolution, image processing pipeline and low-pass filter could have a serious impact on the produced data.While showing some age by today’s standards in terms of autofocus and technical characteristics, the lens has some of the most unique characteristics of any modern lens to date.
