Fuji XF 35mm F2 R WR vs. XF 35mm F1.4 R Lens Comparison

Fuji XF 35mm F2 R WR vs. XF 35mm F1.4 R Lens Comparison:

To me, the XF 35mm F1.4 is an excellent lens.  It’s combination of impressive optics, speed, focal length, versatility, size, and price make it a great workhorse, and one of the most popular lenses in the Fuji X Series system.  But now, another lens of this focal length, the XF 35mm F2 R WR lens, has been introduced by Fuji, which is sure to make some who are interested in a 53mm equivalent lens wonder which version of this focal length is best for them.

Fuji XF 35mm F2 R WR Lens Review

Fuji XF 35mm F2 R WR Lens Review:

One of the first X Series lenses introduced was the XF 35mm F1.4, which soon became one of the most popular lenses in the X Series system.  With its excellent image quality, compact size, focal length, and price, it was an absolute workhorse of a lens, and to this day, it’s still one of my favorites.  Instead of stopping there, Fuji has recently introduced another 53mm equivalent, the XF 35mm F2 R WR lens.  This lens may be a stop slower than the F1.4 version but it also brings along with it the latest tech from Fujifilm, such as, weather sealing, and better autofocus all while being more compact and costing $399, which is essentially $200 less than the XF 35mm F1.4.  Does this lens deliver the goods?  Read on further to find out!

A Visit to Park Slope With The Fuji XF 35mm F2 Lens

A Visit to Park Slope With The Fuji XF 35mm F2 Lens:

I went over to Park Slope yesterday to visit a friend because he’s hugely into photography like me, and he wanted to see the new Fuji XF 35mm F2 R WR lens.  For those who don’t know, Park Slope is part of Brooklyn. I don’t visit it much but I should.  It actually has some great places to eat, and a beautiful park (Prospect Park) whose designers, I believe, also designed Central Park. [continue reading…]

Fuji XF 35mm F2 R WR Lens Review Coming Soon

Fuji XF 35mm F2 R WR Lens Review Coming Soon:

Sometimes I hate when I get new gear in my hands because I end up wanting to buy it :).  I’m currently shooting with the new Fuji XF 35mm F2 R WR lens, and it’s better than I expected.  When I first received it, I was actually quite surprised by it.  I say this because in photos I saw of this lens, it didn’t really look that much more compact than the F1.4 version by Fuji.  But in my actual hands, it’s a different story.  It not only is more compact, it feels noticeably less bulky than the F1.4 version.  Pictures really don’t do it justice in my opinion.

The NYC Marathon as it Runs Through Brooklyn

The NYC Marathon as it Runs Through Brooklyn:

It’s been a very long time since I’ve posted, so I thought pics from the NYC Marathon would be a great opportunity to get back into the rhythm of putting up new content again.  I do not have as many pics as I wanted because I was actually getting back from a Halloween party this morning (I ended up sleeping over at a friend’s), and my battery was running low on my Fuji X-T1.  So, while I do take my camera everywhere with me, it turns out that maybe I should also take a spare battery with me even on the days when I don’t think I’m going to use my camera much ;).
