Comparative Canon lens (50 1.8 STM) costs EUR 100 - only 20%, or less, of Fuji lens. Opinion: The lens is shamelessly expensive. The hood should be light plastic or hard rubber. It is made of metal so if you hit anything, you can damage the lens, the mount or the body. Extremely ugly hood that looks like a Messerschmitt design. Very slow, next to useless "manual" focus. ?)Ĭons: Aperture ring too easy to move and lacks a clean sharp 'A' click. APERTURE STOPS ARE LABELLED (unlike some stupid Fuji lenses like 18-55 which have aperture rings. ![]() If you’re interested in seeing more products that we at Resource Magazine recommend, head over to Resource Unbox.Pros: Compact design. A compact, 35mm prime should be in everyone’s kit, and if you have a Fujifilm camera this is the first lens you should get. Overall, I recommend this lens for anyone with a camera that can mount it. It definitely has more bang for your buck than almost any lens I’ve seen. I was genuinely surprised that it would be priced so low given the high quality of pictures it outputs. Speaking of price, the Fujifilm 35mm F/2 R WR is priced at $399, which makes it one of Fuji’s cheapest lenses on the market. But the F/2 version’s weather sealing and better price easily make up for the slightly smaller aperture range. The only drawback is that it’s one stop slower which shouldn’t be a huge factor unless you really need that extra stop for low light situations. With the slightly longer focal length, I realized I had a better chance to be unobtrusive while my photos still felt like they had that gritty, street photography feel to them.Ĭompared to it’s earlier predecessor, the 35mm F/1.4, this 35mm F/2 R WR has it beat in almost every category. Despite its compact size, the lens is also weather resistant! Probably not to the point where you can take it through a hurricane, but it definitely can handle a regular rain shower.īeing someone that usually shoots with a 35mm full-frame lens, my mind’s eye was off on composition for the first fews shots but I adjusted in no time. But having a small camera and even smaller lens helps with that. When shooting street, my main focus is to try not to be noticed that’s especially hard when you’re 6’2”. It was unobtrusive, which gave me a sense of comfort when photographing people. Regardless of the body you use with the lens, it will never be bothersome or heavy. It felt like I could go on like that for the entire day (which I probably could have done). I had no problems walking around for hours with the camera and lens in hand with no straps or support. It may seem like a short amount of time but it felt a lot more satisfying when I pressed the trigger and the camera immediately focused and shot. Roughly estimated, it felt like the lens focused about. ![]() The speed of the autofocus was also impressive. Compared to my X100S, it felt a lot more intelligent about what I wanted to be in focus. The autofocus is what we all want, accurate and fast. I didn’t go as wide as F/2 often because I prefer having as much in focus as possible. The lens is sharp, especially at smaller apertures. After feeling the smooth clicks of the on-camera aperture ring and seeing the detailed first shot it produced, I was hooked. It’s an amazing lens that I can easily recommend for anyone with a Fujifilm camera.Īfter spending my afternoon shooting in Dumbo with this lens and the fantastic Fuji X-Pro2, I can say that I really enjoyed my time with it. With that said, after just one shot with this lens my initial hesitation disappeared. I love shooting at 35mm, that’s why I usually keep my X100S with me all the time. Prior to using it, I was skeptical always thinking about how it’s realistically a “50mm” lens because of the APS-C conversion factor. The Fujifilm 35mm F/2 R WR has grown on me ever since it entered the Resource office. ![]()
