Xtend your Fuji system: More hoods: the case of the XF 35mm f/2 WR | René Delbar

Not too long ago, Fujifilm added a 35mm f/2 WR (Weather Resistant) model to the line of excellent XF lenses. Already owning the ‘original’ 35mm f/1.4 since early 2012, I was decided to let this one pass. Until I put a trial copy on my X-T1… The 35/2 is compact, light and more importantly has a very fast AF. Sharpness is very uniform across the frame. And of course it is weather resistant. All that makes it a lens that will almost always find its way into my bag when I venture outdoors. I will keep my 35/1.4 as well though. It has the extra stop for low light shooting, a pleasing bokeh and sharpness fall-off towards the edges at wide apertures, a shorter minimum focus distance and a more generous manual focus ring. That makes it great for portraits and close-ups. As shown above, the 35/2 comes standard with a front lens cap and a tiny plastic screw-on lens hood. My copy easily gets loose or – when tightened more – becomes very hard to unscrew……
