fujifilm_35mmFujifilm XF 35mm f/1.4 R

Pros: Many, everyone has already said it, including a serious metal hood.

Cons: Slow autofocus. Cutthroat competition from the 33WR.

Opinion: Lens owned and used thoroughly from the beginning, beautiful, pleasant, compact. Then one day I compared it with the 33 and I thought for a long time, because the 33 has a larger footprint on its side to be able to accommodate all the improvements of the case. A hint of a negative note: the age of the project has made it a bit slow in AF nowadays, when I found myself having a third of the barrage of portraits not perfectly in focus I decided that it was time to separate, but with regret. The 33 has many pluses on its side, it has something like optical performance of the 35 minus its so to speak... defects of youth. I regret the square metal lens hood that is not on the 33.

fujifilm_14mmFujifilm XF 14mm f/2.8 R

Pros: Global optical performance, compactness, speed.

Cons: None worth mentioning, except for an old conception: without tropicalization and manual focus barrel with pump.

Opinion: Excellent, still unsurpassed, but it pays the weight in the trekking backpack to its brother 16/2.8 which often replaces it when you don't need those two millimeters less focal length and therefore angle of view. An obviously special lens with an excellent obstruction, at the time not tropicalized and with the manual pump focus that is now little used in the new lenses, I think because of the floating lens schemes, see the 35 versus the new 33.

fujifilm_xf50_f2wrFujifilm XF 50mm f/2 R WR

Pros: Lightness, tropicalization, brightness, speed and optical performance.

Cons: None worth mentioning.

Opinion: This lens has replaced the 56 at 90%, because it is small, light, fast and performing in terms of overall performance, it is inexpensive for the yield it offers, it has sent the 56 to the shelf where it is rarely taken. The 50 has a great focal length for me, travel, portrait, and everything in between. If I want to get sharpness I have to aperture, I might as well use it little even at TA, where it still makes a nice boke. I think it is one of the best lenses in the XF house. The lens hood in this case is adequate for the optics, I did not feel the need to replace it. It remains an iconic focal length that winks at the 75 Leitz, I think it is an excellent compromise.

fujifilm_xf16_f2-8Fujifilm XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR

Pros: Lightness, cost, overall quality construction, AF speed, sharpness.

Cons: With APSC you have to understand that diffraction comes before F/16 in certain lenses. However, it does not affect the use.

Opinion: A best-buy from Fuji at the time cost so little that I bought it new on Amazon. I gave myself a gift, it is the perfect wide-angle lens for a number of things: focal length equivalent to the 24mm FF lends itself to interior and landscape photos, to reportage photos, to portraits set in narrow places. The maximum brightness 2.8 is a reason for considerable discord, but if you think about the size it doesn't matter to have an extra aperture that I would rarely use, otherwise I would have taken the older brother. I think the field framed is slightly more than the license plate, you can see it from the RAF. Yes, the performance worsens after f/11, but it's already a good ride, like most Fuji lenses you look the nitty-gritty, they are beautiful lenses, moreover tropicalized, perfect to take to the beach without fear of ruining it, and if it were it is a low investment to risk, I always take it with me on trips.

fujifilm_23_f2wrFujifilm XF 23mm f/2 R WR

Pros: easy handling, overall performance, competitive price.

Cons: Lens hood: Match one of aftermarket metal and you're good to go.

Opinion: When at the beginning Fuji only made the 1.4 version which for my desires is too heavy and bulky on the XE series, but there was the x100 with the f/2; I thought it would be nice if Fuji made a version like that. Six months later he heard me. I immediately took it second-hand, untouched. I equipped it with a nice aluminum petal as a lens hood and which also acts as a bumper. I seem to have a summicron autofocus for the cost of a Leitz lens hood! I took most of the photos set, naked, etc. They say it suffers from sharpness at close range, I didn't notice it, although I have now switched to a 40Mp sensor. In short, a small all-rounder at a very honest price.

fujifilm_xf33_f1-4wrFujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR

Pros: Build quality, ergonomic rings, silent AF, waterproofing, sharpness superior to the competition.

Cons: Standard hood that comes off easily and plastic, made painful in macro with extension tubes. Costicchia.

Opinion: I made the transition from 35 1.4 to 33 not because I was unhappy with the optical rendering of the 35 but for the hope of having a better autofocus for example in the hook in the detection of the eye in portraits. Often the 35 with AF on single point in S mode in the bursts mistakes the MF, and leaves a bitter taste in the mouth knowing that it has lost the fleeting moment. But I finish complaining about the 35 to talk about the 33. I compared it with its brother and I find it very similar in the qualities such as blurred and plasticity, improved in all the defects of the previous one such as TA sharpness both at the edges and in the center. Well done Fuji! I would say, but there is a caveat that I also found with the 56. They are lenses with many lenses and bright, and sin of a constitutional factor, they are not for macrophotography. I used extension tubes and did some tests not very detailed but sufficient to see the exaggerated field curvature, let's say that they are not planar in focus, and no one on the internet detects the thing as if it were obvious that you need the dedicated macro to make macros. At the time analog was not quite like that, just a cheap 50ino with its tube to get not miracles, but at least a decent yield. In this I find myself better to use other smaller lenses such as the XF23/2 or the 50/2 with a macro ring to get excellent results. This is also thinking of those who hope to rephotograph film negatives instead of scanning them.
