![]() ![]() Just like with the XF18mm f/1.4 this lens is among the fastest lenses within the XF lens lineup to lock focus. FUJI 35MM 1.4 SERIESUsually this type of motor is used in the way bigger lenses within the Fujifilm X series where the amount of glass that needs to be pushed to attain focus is way bigger.īut when Fujifilm decided to build their new small’ish fast prime trilogy around this type of AF motor they ensured autofocus performance that is absolutely incredible. Just like with the XF18mm f/1.4 R LM WR, it’s quite nice that Fujifilm built this lens around a very fast and silent linear motor. There are are couple of things from the above chart that I need to highlight, and explain in further detail Autofocus – Linear motor build Lensġ5 elements in 10 groups (includes 2 aspherical and 3 ED elements)ĩ blades (rounded diaphragm opening) – 1/3EV stops (22 steps) Fujifilm threw ALL the good stuff into this lens. Worth noting is the Linear Motor build, the 2 ASPH and 3 (!!) ED elements lens configuration as well as the WR build. Image quality might therefore not be final – But it’s so insanely good, that I think it is.ĭisclaimer 3: All shots with- and of the product has been shot by me, and is not to be used without my explicit permission.īelow are the technical specifications for the XF33mm f/1.4 R LM WR lens. I expect you to be adults, capable of forming your own opinions based on presented information.ĭisclaimer 2: All the images in this article has been shot using an early prototype of the XF33mm f/1.4R LM WR. This means that I’m just about as biased as I can get, and whether you choose to believe my views or not is entirely up to you. ![]() I don’t get paid for doing these write ups (and I have been doing them even before getting involved with Fujifilm). That’s spelled brand ambassador for Fujifilm. FUJI 35MM 1.4 FREESo when I dive into the build and feel of these new lenses, it will merely be a repetition of the XF18mm f/1.4 R WR build and feel runthrough.īut before we get going as always, I’ll be courteous and write down my usual disclaimers.įeel free to skip everything but number 3ĭisclaimer 1: I’m an X-photographer. For classic documentary- and street photography these three focal lengths is probably all you would ever need. A first of a trilogy of lenses of fast aperture classic prime focal lengths that Fujifilm completed with todays launch of the XF23mm f/1.4 R LM WR and the XF33mm f/1.4 R LM WR. After todays reveal it’s all too evident that the insane quality from the XF18mm f/1.4 R WR was merely a predictor for what is to come. To find the design cues for the 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR one has to look no further than the recently released new XF18mm f/1.4 R WR. Instead of going the 35mm f/1.4 mk2 route, Fujifilm went ahead and made a brand new lens. ![]() ![]() I think this fact is a very big factor when they decided to build a new lens from scratch. But the “all element external focus” build is such an integral part of that lens design, that making it WR and having blazing fast internal AF is really not easy. During our discussions in Tokyo back in 2018 regarding the startup of the X-Pro3 project we discussed a Mk2 version of the XF35mm f/1.4. ![]()
