Well made, quick to autofocus, sharp and much better than average bokeh.

Great all around lens, sharp even wide open and good bokeh

Gorgeous creamy bokeh for such an unassuming little lens

for a 35mm focal length, it has beautiful bokeh thanks to the wide f/2 aperture

The bokeh is lovely and even at f2 aperture pictures are unbelievably sharp and I'm attaching some pictures that I clicked using this lens with my Fujifilm X-T1

While I think the zoom lenses will work great for vacations, this is my new go-to lens

Instead, Fuji X, a crop sensor camera manufacturer, should be concentrating on creating faster lenses like F1.2 and F1.0.

It's so refreshing to see camera lenses being made of METAL, not plastic like nearly all of Canon's lenses

It's a good Lense indeed, for what is made for it does incredible job

Once upon a time there was this guy who had a good Nikon camera and lenses

Fuji lens are extremely well built and of good quality, so is this one

It has a very solid build and the finish is smooth and feels amazing

My only complaint is that Fujinon lenses have a plastic "cheapness" to them, compared to say Zeiss or Leica, but for the size and prize the optical quality is very impressive, I just wish the build was a bit nicer

I appreciate the lens's small size (it's not a pancake, but it's still smaller than most other Fujinon lenses), solid build (the aperture ring has much better haptics than my other Fujinon lenses), and quiet, confident autofocus (very little hunting)

Extremely well built with beautiful bokeh and image clarity.

I love the compact size of everything in the Fuji line and this lens is no exception

The size and weight make it easy to store and to carry around.

The lens is a great size for traveling and the fast autofocus is reliable

So don't fool yourself into thinking that there are significant weight and size reductions like you'd see in a pancake lens, because there really aren't.

A perfect size to compliment the compact sized Fuji cameras

This lens screams Quality

Excellent lens, great build quality, looks good on my Fujifilm X-T10.

I took some side-by-side comparison shots and to my delight the quality of this Fuji lens is marginally better than the classic Takumar

Fuji lens are extremely well built and of good quality, so is this one

Such small lens but great quality, fairly heavier than I thought

The lens is a great size for traveling and the fast autofocus is reliable

It's compact and lightweight, has a durable metal construction, it'sweather sealed, sharp as a tac with creamy bokeh at f/2, silent, fast, and accurate autofocus, and is half the cost of its f/1.4 cousin that lacks in almost everything I just mentioned

An absolutely superb lens, razor sharp, super fast autofocus, very light and compact

I have played with my friend's 35mm f/1.4 and there is no doubt that it is an amazing lens, but this f/2 version blows it out of the water in terms of focus speed and almost no audible noise

The autofocus is basically silent and the lens is very solid

The lens performed beautifully and produced several usable/sharp images at ISO 3200

I've done a few shoots with this lens and have received incredible images

If your images aren't sharp, the first place to look is at your technique.

Great images out of this lens, build quality is top notch wish it had a better lens hood but the included one is fine

I grabbed this lens after watching some YouTube and I’m so glad I did the images that come from this lens is stunning !!!

Stopping down seems to help, but it is nowhere near as sharp as the 35mm f/1.4

After using the Fuji 35mm f/1.4 for several months on an XT-1, and marveling at its' sharpness, clarity, and image rendition (albeit not super-fast AF), I was excited to try the newer, Weather-Resistant f/2 version

it's not sharp as 35mm 1.4 at same aperture of 2.0 2

I never thought my 23mm was all that hefty, but the 35mm F2 is easily half the overall mass

I love the square metal hood for the 35mm f1.4 and the 18mm f/2, and I wish they continued that trend with all their lenses.

The other primes are near $1000 each and take phenomenal photos but they have their very specific place and get babies quite a bit more

I seldom use it wide open, except in the dark, but can testify that from f/2.8 on, photos are sharp and clear.

I used this lens on a baby shoot making use of the close focusing distance and got wonderfully sharp photos with pleasing background separation, my client was excited to see the results!The pairing of affordability with extremely high quality make this a must-have first prime lens for every Fuji X user wanting to upgrade from the kit zooms.

It doesn't affect the photos, but knowing it's there just annoys me.

The photos I'm getting are excellent, or at least as good as I'm capable of making

It's compact and lightweight, has a durable metal construction, it'sweather sealed, sharp as a tac with creamy bokeh at f/2, silent, fast, and accurate autofocus, and is half the cost of its f/1.4 cousin that lacks in almost everything I just mentioned

So, it seems that Fuji not only takes pride in manufacturing great equipment, but they take care of the customers after the sale

So, if I'm going to desert my first love anyway, the Fuji 35mm F/2 gives me the best of both worlds: a 35mm "normal" frame, with the finest image quality I've ever known

Seems like Fuji would be shooting themselves in the foot by pricing such an excellent (and pro-level) lens at such a reasonable price point.

Not quite as sharp as the original XF35mm F1.4, but faster and more compact.

I love my X100T as well - this gives me a two camera solution for 35mm and 50mm street photography.

while 35 F2 focuses faster in good light, for some strange reason (and that has been confirmed by many reviews) with its all new fancy AF motor, it slows down and really has hard time focusing in low light.

It is the perfect compliment to his X-T10, small and lightweight, and light is very good for this shooter

That can affect you when you are shooting in poor lighting at low ISO.

Its fast, small, light, and just right for framing every day shots - not too wide, not too tight, just perfect

Amazing Clarity, ultra fast focusing and great low light performance with minimal noise

I don't like motorized manual focus, and I hate the lack of a depth of field scale on a prime lens of this quality.

The only difference between this mode and CF mode is when you half press the shutter button it will beep when focus is confirmed as opposed to CF mode that there is no beeping
