Love that the 33mm exists. It makes the 35 cheaper.

Can we really compare those lenses?The 35 is kind of special with the sharpness to softness transitions the dramatic roll off makes the subject pop like in a 3d effects. The 33 is a more modern type lenses and it's freaking good .Its different and not an upgrade, i have both for different reasons. It's not always about sharpness it's also about the caracther of it.

Nice brief comparison. As an owner of the 35mm F/1.4 I don't feel the need to "upgrade" to the 33mm. As I only work in photo at this focal length and I do not want clinical photos the "character" works well; however, if i was looking to purchase a 50mm Eqv. and didn't own either, I'd definitely buy the 33mm out of the 2, however as I own other fast lenses (56mm and 23mm) I'd be tempted to not get the 35mm F/1.4 or 33mm F/1.4, and get the 30mm F/2.8 Macro (this is discounting all other brands that produce a similar focal length too, and the amazing Value for money XC 35mm F/2.0, of XF 35mm F/2.0 if you want WR and better build but same glass as XC)

Ive just bought the 35mm 1.4. I love the design, how it feels, even sounds, along with the colour rendition and bokeh. Using it today for some street photography was a little disconcerting as most of the images seemed to be focusing behind my subjects (using an xt3). Ive a feeling it is user error on my part; so many things to learn in the Fuji system. Thank you for your review and comparison 👍🏻

How is this even a question. The 33 is technical better, yes, but that special look you will only get with the 35. Bokee with 33 is too smooth and not interesting.

Great comparison.

Sorry, but it is a no brainer ..... I have both :) P.s.: I always like the vibe of your videos! Best regards
