The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Fujifilm XF 35mm f/1.4 R Pros: Pleasantness of the images, compactness / lightness (it is still an f1.4!), build quality, a Fujifilm classic on the list for many years (if it did not have some merit it would not be there yet) Cons: AF not fast (but very usable), optically dated and not at the top (but is this really a problem?). Opinion: When I decided to join Fujifilm's APSC system 2 years ago, the 35 f1.4 (50mm equivalent) was the first lens I bought. Both because many spoke well of it but also because when in the 90s I began to photograph, doing a photography course, the first camera (SLR) that I bought I equipped to comedy with a 50mm (on the advice of the teacher of the course). Excellent starting point, classic fixed lens (instead of the zoom of little value, which today goes for the most). As a focal it may or may not like it (as with all things) but in its kind it is a valuable lens. Built well, without primates of optical quality but compensating with an image rendering also in my opinion, as for many, it is very pleasant. Today there are several lenses that are optically very performing, precise, very sharp... they are so hypercorrect that they often give a feeling of aseptic coldness. It is logical that when the lenses all tend towards the same optical precision vertex their yield is very similar. It is not easy to find words that describe sensations, but this lens easily gives an image rendering that returns a "warm" feeling, it is pleasant, pleasant, "enveloping". If, on the other hand, you are looking for a lens that tends to optical perfection... look elsewhere (... but I put a doubt: do you really need all this optical perfection?) I read an article that dealt with optical quality in photographic lenses. He said something like that every lens is like a "recipe" with which engineers balance the various optical aberrations, "dose" them in some ways, and there are two paths that can be followed. The first way (or philosophy) is to tend to the balance/ attenuation as neutral and precise as possible between the various aberrations, in order to reduce the defects as much as possible. The second is to have as a priority a certain characterization of the image rendering, perhaps at the expense of some imbalance / optical defect. So two different philosophies, one is effficiency and optical precision, the other is to look for a certain kind of pleasantness and characterization of image (without bothering words like "magic"). If you like the philosophy of image pleasantness and you are less interested in the primacy of optical quality I recommend a Fujifilm camera with the triad 18 f2, 35 f1.4 and 60 f2.4. Unfortunately, very few products of this type are produced today and in fact many enthusiasts go to look for certain particular renderings of the image going fishing among the "vintage" lenses. In my opinion, it is a merit of Fujifilm to have an eye towards this kind of product. This without detracting from the optical excellence, WR, AF, of many modern lenses (including for example the new Fujifilm f1.4 lenses). sent on August 03, 2022 |
