Let's hope for an xc 50mm f2!

Love those xc images! They seem to have a magical character of their own - excited for the release of the lens - thanks for a great review!

I have the XC 35 for about 2 weeks now, I am loving it so far. Image quality is amazing for only $200! Thank you for this review, this helped me decide on getting the XC.

Thank you for an excellent review, you put a lot of work into it, most appreciated!

Thanks for this review, very helpful to see how similar they are. Seeing how many photos you share in your videos really shows how much you are about photography rather than the gear ❤️ love it!

Great review with real world examples. I always check your Fuji reviews (and Omar Gonzales) because you are genuine and warm and not overly technical. Thanks.

The lens is great but I’m even more impressed by how well your wife held the pose and expression between shots.

Thank you for your comparison videos. They are spot on and you do a great job! Definitely helping me find which lens I want.

Excellent video!! Great photos!

Thanks for this video! It's has been quite useful. And you have really lovely models :)

Great review. I have the XC 50-230 F4.5-6.7 and I am continually surprised at the image quality throughout its focal range. I would love for Fuji to bring out an XC 100-400mm lens.

Omggggg , I'm so excited to use mine, I just bought it. I came from canon and transfer to fuji ecosystem... Waiting for my xt200 body soon.

i have xt100 when i see price of f2 lens like bro my xt100 cost 360 dollar xf lenses hella pricey for me finally i got something i can buy thanks for video

Thanks for your thoughts, I'm going to order. 😊

Glad I preordered this one.

Great review and video. I also enjoyed the slide show of real photos. You appear to be a very lucky man!

Good job, KYMang, and good job Fuji! Thanks for the vid!

Very nice review. Thanks.

Thanks for the review, recently bought an X1 Pro and this lens, getting great results ... ty

Im getting one!! Great video!

Hey, great review! I’ve just purchased a used X-T2 as my first Fujifilm (and first proper camera tbh), and this review was definitely useful to help me decide which would be better for me. The XC is definitely tempting but I still worry about longevity with the XC though- the plastic mount and body, no weather resistance. So I might save up for the XF...

thank you for this review! it seems that T-stop of new lens brighter than an old version

This is a useful video. Thanks!

It seems like a great option for someone on a budget. I would have no problem using it.

That’s good to know based on your reviews and some other KZfaq photographers I bought a used xt-1 for $225 American dollars. Don’t have a lens yet was considering doing what I do on my canon full frame adapting vintage lenses.

You are doin better looking into the lens. keep at it. It is more pleasing to watch that way 👍

Great video! Brilliant comparison of the two lenses. I've been trying to decide between the two and this has really helped. The photos look good in Lightroom, I've seen other videos where the Fuji RAW files don't look good at all. Did you do anything to them beforehand or are they straight out of the camera?

Very nice review

Good video . Not surprised at all by the optical quality of this XC lens . All of Fuji XC lenses perform really well . I had both the XC 50-230 and the XF 55-200 and after a couple months shooting and comparing them sold the XF and kept the XC . The differences I saw were similar to what you have found with the two 35’s . XC lenses are great would like to see them put out a couple of more XC primes . Maybe the 90mm ,which would be awesome , I always think I would like this lens but don’t know if I would use it enough to justify the price but a XC version would be worth a purchase .

Hopefully more xc primes will follow!

I think it's great Fuji made this lens. Especially with the X-T20 being so cheap now if you don't have a weather-sealed body, you don't need a WR lens! If I ever get an X-T20 or 30, I'd definitely get this lens for it.

Impressive performance for a $200 lens. The best part about this is that it'll lower the demand/cost of the other two 35mm lenses. Can't wait!

wow! The samples def look incredible. Can't believe this lens is only $200. For me, $200 5 years ago meant some really cheap nikon lens with loud AF and unsuable af in low light

This would be perfect for my hiking trips in the Red River Gorge/Natural Bridge instead of taking my more expensive XF 35 F1.4. It wouldn’t hurt so much if it were to get damaged.

you really sold this lens..thanks!

Thanks, great video as usual. Very strange things happen in the middle of the frame, it looks like XC is somehow de-centered as it is as sharp right in the centre, but few pixels left it gets soft. The same happens at the bottom, it gets softer while at the top of the frame it is as sharp as XF. I watched another video in which those two lenses were optically identical, it is maybe something wrong with that particular lens.

Differences in SS could also result from shooting center-weighted metering on one image and pattern on the other.

Looks great! Is the classic chrome preset you use Fuji specific or can I get it and use on my Sony raw until I transition to Fuji (which I’m excited to do). 👍 And is this Classic Chrome or Classic Negative? I know you referenced a classic negative preset in another video. Thank you!

Wow that snowflake on her head. Crazy. Awesome.

Nice review! I have a fujifilm x-t20 with the xf 18-55mm, If I buy this lens (XF or XC F2), will it help me take much better portrait pictures than the XF Kit lens? When zooming 55mm, on F4, this XF Kit lens takes nice portraits when I am near the model.

Just bought an xt30 most likely going to buy the xc to get things started

Wow, amazing bang for the buck this lens! Unless you really need the water resistance, it’s a no brainer really!

Great images. Sir can i ask what shutter speed and film simulation did you use on those pics. Thanks so much

Very nice bokeh even at F2.8. I think I'd still go for the XF...perhaps a used one, to bring it closer to the price of a new XC. I find Fujifilm cameras are as much about the 'feel' as they are about technical proficiency . When you feel good about what you have, you tend to be more engaged in the process of imaging creating. But that said, if if budget is a major factor, it's good to know that this lens still performs well. :)

I really wish i had it right now :"( it isn't available in my country yet. how about auto focus compare to XF 35 f2 ?

Based on your comments about sharpness, I'd guess the XC has some field curvature compared to the XF. For most photography, that shouldn't matter much. It only becomes readily evident when photographing a flat subject like the books. Microcontrast appears better in the XF, but for the money, the XC looks to be a great lens! Very nice comparison work!

Thanks for posting. XF looks way more brilliant and sharper.

Thank you for sharing your impressions on the new 35mm from Fuji. Could you please share your views in regards to MFD and video autofocus abilities?

Like for the F-4 and F-14 in the background 😁

Great review Kentucky Man ! I just bought the 35mm xf f2 and it is hazy and soft in the center and only really improves from f4-f5.6, does it seem like i have a bad copy of this lens ? I tested the center on my xf14 2.8, xf 23mm 1.4 and they were both razor sharp in the center.(I only tested the center of the frame) I would love to hear some opinions on this please:)

great images, what software did you use to put together the slideshow

What do you recommend me for group shootings ? Please, thankx

Fuji's are heavier than any other APS-C like Sony a6500 so maybe going with a plastic lens is good to keep that weight down (a lot of weight is in the lens metal.)

thanks for the review. You are my favourite youtuber about the fuji gear. One question, hows the autofocus performance of this lens on XT1 and XT2? Is there a lot of difference?

The differences could be down to copy variation of the same optics. Maybe quality control of the xc lens is not as good as with the xf?

Excellent photos. What's the name of the preset you used ?

have you tried putting a lens hood on it off of any of your other fuji lenses? I prefer to leave the hoods on instead of filters for protecting the front glass on my lenses.

Can i change the aperture on xc35 mm pls ans

Do you know if the focus of the 35 1.4 on the xt3 would be comparable with the 35 f2 on the xt2? Thanks!

XF is clearly warmer and has much better contrast

How is the image lens with fujifilm X-T 100?

i think there's supposed to be labelling on the photos for which lens is being used right? It looks like you labelled xt-1 vs xt-2 but this is supposed to be comparing lenses?

I have one doubt is this lens for crop sensor or we get 50mm focal length in xt3?

I've been using my Nikon DX 35mm f/1.8 coupled with a K&F Concepts adapter (w/ aperture control) for my X-T20. I'm impressed with the sharpness of the XC and while I want the XF, I may go with the XC. Mostly from a cost perspective though. Thanks for another superb video!!

did i hear correct XC does not have Aperture ring??

It seems to be the same optical formula. The price spread between the XC and the XF is due to construction (metal + WR) and aperture ring. It's like a car. Same engine, same bodywork, but not the same options = not the same price.

Seems like the XC is brighter than the XF. That is really interesting!

You said the XT1 is your preferred camera to use. Why that instead of the T2?

Fujifilms Plastic Fantastic

What's the use of the ring on the lens ?

I need some sort of a Fuji support group lol I really want to love my xt10, I bought a very basic kit second hand, not wanting to drag my dslr on vacation. I always liked what fuji has done with these, making them resemble actual cameras as much as possible, and I was ready to sing the praises of all things fuji. But... I came back bitterly disappointed and I do believe it is mostly due to user error, or even ignorance. This was my first experience with mirrorless and I am convinced I HATE mirrorless cameras, I can't stand evf's and now I have this little camera I can't even stand looking at. Please give me some relationship therapy. I really want to make this work. I suspect that the basic XC lenses the camera came with are a big party to this... The electric zoom is infuriating, slow, imprecise and I can't stand it - with a real lens, I know where I am just by feel... this thing... lacking any intuitiveness... yikes. The focus... that stupid volume dial of a focus ring is just completely useless. There is no tactile feel, I can't tell "where" I am in my focus range... I suspect better lenses would fix those issues - those are not tings I will ever get over, they are just garbage but then again, these are garbage lenses - perhaps the nicer XF lenses would fix this. But, the one thing that INFURIATES ME, is that every time I raise the camera to my eye it is zoomed in on a portion of the image... so I raise the camera to my eye, compose (usually confused as to what I am looking at), go to press the shutter and then it zooms out (to what the lens is actually seeing) and the moment is gone and I have to recompose... I just want it to behave like a real camera - I want the viewfinder to show me what my lens sees wide open, nothing more, nothing less. I don't trust the AF, it never gives me what I want in focus, and manual focus is really hit or miss, especially with that maddening zoom in that always happens. Is there a "SLR" setting? I don't want the camera to think for me, do anything for me, I just want it to do what it's told. I realize I will never like mirrorless with its fake little viewfinder that flickers and does stupid digital things, but this thing is small and handy and I think that millions of people smitten with these things can't all be crazy or wrong, so there must be something I am doing wrong. Anyway, I know this is off topic, please forgive that rant (cry for help? lol)

Question. How can you two identical photos with two different lenses?

I just order the XF it was about $120 difference in price. Hope it is worth the extra money.

are the sizes the same?

How about for video?

The XF looks better. Better sharpness and colour.

Been with this lens for a few months now and for $200, you just have to keep your mouth shut😁. Only thing I would change is the mount, not because its plastic, but because it is pretty loose and wiggly. Anyone knows if you can swap it with the metal screw of some $5 Chinese adapter or something and live happily ever after? Someone tried that?
