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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Extremely well built with beautiful bokeh and image clarity.

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)

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

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.

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

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

A perfect size to compliment the compact sized Fuji cameras

Also, as he expected from Fuji the build quality is excellent

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

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

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

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

The autofocus is basically silent and the lens is very solid

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

While this lens produces amazing images, I'm not a big fan of it's AF performance

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

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

there’s very, very minimal distortion and the images remain very clean and sharp

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

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

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

This lens is great, especially if you love the 35mm F1.4 but really want something weather proof for those bleh days

The overall focus performance as fast as you can reasonably expect for a lens in this era, and leaves the old 1.4 in the dust

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

This lens is a keeper, and highly recommended, especially if one wants a small, fast, SHARP, weather-resistant walk-around lens for their Fujifilm X-System!

I sent it back a week later because I couldn't make snaps as sharp as I had with the 1.4

This lens compliments a walk around, weather sealed, package as a small fast prime

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.

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

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

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

This beauty takes sharp photos, perhaps not as sharp as the original XF 35mm version, with excellent color rendition

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

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

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.

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

That's why I had initially bought the 56mm, but quickly found out that A. 56mm is a little too long for indoor use, and B. the 56mm AF can be difficult to work with indoors due to low lighting

Weatherproof and so cheap by comparison yet this little beauty has super fast AF , inconspicuous , super sharp even wide open

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

Manual focusing is smooth with enough travel to keep from being fussy with just the right amount of resistance to keep from being easily knocked out of focus.

: the size is small, it's lightweight, the aperture ring has just the right amount of friction, and the focusing is buttery smooth

The manual focus was initially terrible, but received a decent upgrade with firmware version 1.01
