Fuji 35mm f2 review: A small but wonderful lens | Olivier Duong

I think the 35mm focal length is a favorite amongst photographers because it is a sweet spot, i’s not too wide and it’s not too narrow (I guess that is why it’s the focal length of choice of the Fuji X100). Many wanted to have the same lens on their exchangeable lens cameras like their XT1 or Xpro, but unfortunately this is NOT a TRUE 35mm, with the APSC crop factor taken into account, it’s essentially a 53mm “normal”, “nifty fifty” lens. But this is not a deal breaker as this is a stellar lens. The only alternative to this lens is the Fuji 35mm 1.4 which is a monster of a lens, not only in terms of quality but also weight and size. Enter the Fuji 35mm f2, a lens that not only has a very attractive price point (399 release price) but is also rangefinder lens size. The size is important not only because of portability (it can fit in your pocket) but also because it doesn’t attract too much attention to you and your camera…….
