Pros: leggero, nitido, sopratutto costa poco.

Cons: niente

Opinion: Per il prezzo che ha, non ha nessun difetto. Sopratutto e molto nitido, e non ingombrante. Certo, è di plastica, e poi se fosse stato 'WR' sarebbe stato meglio, ma del resto esiste anche il più costoso 35mm 'WR'. Questo l'ho comprato nuovo per 190 euro! Su una 'vecchia' X-M1, che usavo con la lente del kit, l' XC16-50mm (OIS, I serie), me l'ha fatta rinascere, rendendomela ancora più portabile e producendo sopratutto ottime foto. Lo utilizzo anche con una X-H1, e anche qui funziona perfettamente. Non ho nessuna intenzione di separarmene, me lo tengo assolutamente.

Pros: At its price all

Cons: If you know the characteristics of XC no cons

Opinion: If you buy, knowing its characteristics, from XC series, you cannot be disappointed. Very low price for what it offers. Light, silent, immediate, excellent autofocus, excellent performance. I have no negative points to underline. A lens with these optical characteristics at this price, I think is an unmissable piece. And then, if you don't use it as a hammer it's not so delicate. Mark

Pros: Optical scheme identical to the 35/2 XF; image quality; AF speed; compactness and lightness; value for money.

Cons: Absence of the aperture ring; absence of the lens hood; plastic bayonet; Economical lens cap.

Opinion: To evaluate this perspective well, we must start from the cost: and the cost is low. But Fuji has miniaturized and saved on construction, not image quality: the optical scheme is in fact identical to that of the 35/2 XF, which is twice as large. So: do you want a very light lens (130 grams), small and compact without sacrificing IQ? The XC 35 is for you. It's perfect on small bodies or if you want to be light for genres that require it (street, etc.). In short, the image quality is definitely good and not cheap at all. Defects: it does not have the aperture ring and you cannot find the lens hood in the box: you have to buy it separately. The construction is decent but not made of metal: even the bayonet is made of plastic. Finally, the lens cap is not the classic Fuji brand, but a cheaper one made of semi-transparent plastic.

Pros: Sharp, precise, sharp

Cons: nothing

Opinion: It costs €200 or less; It amazed me. I took it to mount on my XT30 for the street and it amazed me with its definition and incisiveness. Even for landscape photography (despite being a 50), in particular naturalistic, it returns really intense and beautiful colors, as well as real. The size is minimal, not pankake, but it still allows me to keep my XT30 in the pocket of a winter jacket. The construction is certainly not enviable, but for the price I don't think you can expect more. I'm thrilled about it.

Pros: Sharp

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: The only thing we can say about this lens is that there is no quality price either. For no one the difference from his brother is that he does not have the rings you control everything from the car speed af excellent I made close-ups of both flowers and people and landscape that makes you amaze for the lens that is I use it with an xt3

Pros: Nididezza, Af, lightness, compactness.

Cons: Strange hood, ignorant cap

Opinion: I have been using it for almost a year now and I can have my say. Lightweight to keep in your pocket, always. Sharpness that looks like a ballistic missile, almost no distortion, returns very faithful colors, suitable for portraits and for street but also gives excellent satisfactions in other areas. Nice bokeh but that's not why you decide to take this lens. Together with its older brothers the 50 F2 and the 90 F2 I think is the perfect triad. The construction is made of plastic, but it would not weigh 200gr if it were different, it does not have the diaphragm ring and it's fine, you use the ring in the car. I use it mainly on xs10 while on Xt4 I use the 90 this because it would not make sense to use it on a tropicalized body, for that there is the xf version. In my opinion the value for money is really high. It has an Af that hooks the subject in a lightning-fast, impeccable way and the images it returns are really beautiful. Gorgeous, recommended, highly recommended.

Pros: Sharpness, size, autofocus, price.

Cons: If I really have to say one I say construction

Opinion: I use it on the X-T200 and I don't take it off anymore. Exceptional clarity, fast and effective autofocus. light. For less than 200 it is a lens with an exceptional value for money... The 35 mm on Apsc (I had previously a Nikon d5200) was a focal with which the feeling had not snapped; with this lens I feel like I have "been reborn" from a photographic point of view. My first (almost) fuji house handyman. Very happy with the purchase. The over-advice

Pros: Light and un bulky, AF very fast and spectacular clarity, unsurpassed value for money

Cons: plastic construction (but of excellent workmanship)

Opinion: After a few months attached to my Fuji, I can safely say that this lens surprised me enormously: with 200 euros you take home a slow, very sharp lady with a fast AF even at full opening. Given the focal equivalent to a 50mm (about) on FF, it can be used for portraits, streets and even landscapes. What more to say? absolutely recommended

Pros: small cheap af fast crisp

Cons: plastic but for 200€

Opinion: small cheap sharp fast af tried on the xt3 I use to play and I found myself very well, try optical atre like the 23mm 1.4 but I didn't like I go against the current but in my opinion this lens is the best fuji lens. I can't wait to try even the little brother 18mm f2, I recommend this lens to everyone.

Pros: Very light, compact, very sharp, very pleasant bokeh for an equivalent 50ino, Ultra-fast and precise Af on an old X-A2, price.

Cons: All plastic (bayonet included), without lampshed, without diaphragm ring.

Opinion: Purchased used equal to the new for 163 euros including shipping (taken in Brazil where the new costs 300 instead of 200). I synthesized everything in the PROs and CONS. I'm really happy with the purchase. The image quality of the rest is identical to the tropicalized f2 sibling. Of course there is plastic instead of metal, there is no lampshed, but the cons stop there. Those who do not have a tropicalized body can safely save something with this lens. The qualitative result is the same. Pleasure of use not always (I like the diaphragm ring.. and I don't understand why Fuji can't put it in the XCs as well while maintaining plastic and cheaper construction). Now my kit counts the beauty of 3 lenses ? an 8mm f2.8, a 18mm f2 and this 35mm f2. It far exceeded my expectations. Good light at all.

Pros: Excellent sharpness, small, light, precise and quiet autofocus, amazing value for money.

Cons: for its price none.

Opinion: I use it mainly for the street and I found that it can give considerable satisfaction. It is compact and light, lightning and very quiet in focus, a sharpness that amazes, excellent color rendering and a very pleasant three-dimensional effect. Used on Fujifilm X-H1. For value for money a highly recommended purchase.
