MAGIC Fujifilm 35mm f1.4 Review for Street Photography | With samples

In this week's episode I review the Fujifilm XF 35mm f1.4 lens after spending a couple months doing street photography with it in London. The 35mm f1.4 is Fujifilm’s more expensive option in this focal length and is also one of their oldest lenses on the X series system.

Drop any questions or thoughts you have on this lens in the comments below.

After firmware-updating for this lens in Camera, the AF-Speed is 80% of the speed of the 35 - 2.0, so that´s helps a lot

the color of 35 1.4 is so organic and nostalgic at the same time compared to f2, idk but the color produced by this lens is so creamy and smooth

I bought the XF35mm f1.4 as first (and for over a year only) lens with my X-T3.

Yes, I–in theory–miss the weather sealing. But I find the larger diameter in comparison with the f2-version very aesthetic. I don't like it when lenses taper at the outer end at all. (I own the XF50mm f2 now, too. Although it’s great, such a tiny tapering lens looks weird on an X-T3.)

And even with the “slow” lens I manage to do street photography for over two years now with quite OK results, I might add.

My first video that I've seen of yours, subscribed! Fantastic images. The first three fuji primes all have the magic that only a couple of the newer ones can achieve. Including the 18 f/2 (as long as distortion correction is set to zero). Im blown away by your images. great video

Since I bought this lens 5 months ago, It literally hasn't left my camera.
I absolutely love it

I cant find that article that you mentioned in the video


I love your videos and your photography is stunning. I am moving to Japan next month and you inspire me to use my photography gear. I can't wait to have your book come in!

Some lovely images there. From 5:00 min onwards I see some images with a lovely filmy look. May I ask which film simulation you used for them?

[thomfoodery]

Bro your photography is gorgeous! Love your editing style. Great video! Subbed!

Very good review and great photo’s; hat’s off! Recently traded my 35mm f/2 for the 35mm f/1.4. Images of the 1.4 are much more inspiring. Whereas the f/2 never got much mileage with me, I now use the 1.4 all the time, especially for portraits. Same thing, by the way, happened with the 23mm, where I traded the f/2 for the f/1.4. Those older lenses have a certain character that can’t be beat…

[Jennifer-wrsi]

50mm is a hard focal length for me but def found the 35f2 too crispy. People looked almost 'cut out' in the images.

Love My 35mm 1.4 ..images are just different in a magical kind of way 💯

[JohnDAlmonte]

I love this lens. I wonder if the 33 1.4 will have the magic.

[AristeidisSfakianos]

Nice one Eren. Older lenses, despite the problems with quality have indeed more character!

[mrwhisperTV]

Defo my 'Desert Island' Lens. great video bud!

[MartinBetterton]

Can this fit on an XT4? Sorry if that’s a noob question I’m new to Fuji lol

[turkishfootballcom]

The image quality looks amazing! I think I'm going to try this out as I want to experiment more with street photography. Great video pal

[chriscauchi]

another awesome video bro, keep it up

[jakobschneeberger]

👍👍👍 I’m getting the Fuji 35mm f1.4 today 🙂. I’ve been thinking for a long time whether to buy the 35mm f.1.4 or the f2. Well, I chose the “original”.

[eliaspap]

Thanks for sharing, to be honest I couldn’t see they hype with the 35mm f1.4? I had both 35mm F2 & 1.4 did many side by side IQ comparisons. seriously whatever differences they may have? The difference we’re beyond my eyes and very negligible so I ended up selling the 35mm f1.4 mainly because how bad the AF was.

[gohjy]

Hey man, 35mm on the x-pro 2 would be equivalent to shooting 50~mm due to the crop sensor?? Correct me if im wrong
