Hands down my favorite Fuji lens I have ever owned and used.

I recently bought this lens, brand new and was lucky enough to receive a model that was made in Japan. (but I've read that it doesn't matters if it's Tawain of Japan, quality seems to be the same) I finally understand what the hype is all about ❤ This lens was strictly and purely made for photography, for those which are creatively playing with light and shadows, with well synchronised composition, the magic that all are talking about..it exists. And I've become of the many Fuji photographers that are saying: I don't know how to explain it, but there's something special about this lens 😂

Totally agree Eren, i've owned this lens for 9 years now, originally mounted to my XE1 and I still find myself returning to it when shooting on my XT3 or XPro2.

Your photos has a really nice atmosphere. I don’t know how you get that unique “mood” but it’s beautiful.

I really love the 35mm f 1.4 and use it more often than my other Fujifilm lenses.

This lens and the old 56mm 1.2 are my favorites. The highlight halation, and character are perfect. Also the awesome center sharpness with a slight falloff in the corners definitely help my images look less flat.

It's a lovely lens, I cant find a good reason to take it off my camera. Even its flaws, the magic it produces makes it worth it.

Best review of this lens I’ve watched. Beautiful photos! Just ordered this lens last week. Look forward to its arrival.

great video, stunning photography! ☀️

My favorite Fuji photos have been captured with this lens. Absolutely love the way this lens renders. It really is a shame the way the market is moving with higher and higher megapixel cameras and less and less character lenses.

Your photos are a " Feast for the eyes"! Thank you.

Love the way you setup this video. The delivery and explanation and the fact you combined it with so many photos- this is textbook how it should be done! Great job!

Had to rewind that ending, so good. Great to see some of the places I now recognise and see what is actually possible in the right hands.

Just ordered this lens.

I have this lens and it also is one of my favorites especially for portraits and street photography. Amazing how so many folks praised this lens to no end and now favor the 33mm f1.4 wr so much more. The 35 f1.4 is a timeless classic imo. Great video btw!!

A point rarely mentioned is the close similarity of the optical design of this lens to the Zeiss 50mm Sonnar, a lens I happen to love....and think this 35mm neo-clone is better both optically and in pleasantness of character. That it has significant field curvature by today’s standards doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I love it as a companion lens to the 32mm Zeiss Touit, a modern Planar that shares filter size with the Fujinon, a useful feature at times. Do I wish it were weather sealed? Yep. Do I wish the hood cover stayed on? Yep. Do I hope the lens stays in production as technology progresses? Yep.

That's my hero and his name is E.R.E.N !

Great explanations,, technical, with a chill delivery...an art in itself. And amazing shots with this focal length. Thanks

I did switch to use the f2 version, however i always feels there’s something missing in the photo. True talk. Finally makes me go back to the old f1.4 family.

One of my all-time faves bar none...

Excellent description of how the lens focuses and the images it produces.

I think almost any veteran Fuji person like me know about this lens. I've has 2 already, now I have the F2 verson, faster sharper, but I miss the F1.4 creamy shots with the 35mm classic. may buy again

just picked this lens up for my new XT5! its magic

the photos are lovley yes yes but we knew that already! can we talk about the video??! woww the outro intro the music visuals all perfect

Yeah man, I love this lens and most of my instagram posts are from using this lens, and a small number with the 50mm f2. I've used mine at the beach and in the rain and it's still going. 👍🙂

I got mine XF35/1.4 on Saturday and enjoying it so far. Although after shooting with XC35/2 I should admit that XF35/1.4 AF requires much more attention. I mean with XC35 I could even shoot from hip, just by passing by people, not worrying about focus. Which makes XC35 perfect budget street photography lens. XF35/1.4 AF is not that reliable (latest firmware is installed in body and lens) Maybe it is my personal issue. But colors and rendering of XF35/1.4 is pure magic. I agree that photo made with Fujicrons have little artificial taste. Meanwhile photos made XF35/1.4 are more natural. P.S. I wonder whether I should get squarehood, but price is huge…

Came for the review, stayed for the pics. Ephemeral, poetic, cinematic, domestic tableau, sultry, emotive and yet enigmatic, timeless...all words that come to mind. Will give you a follow on Insta.

Your images are absolutely gorgeous! I love every Single one of them! ❤

Totally agree with you on the character of the 35. It’s almost always on my X-T3 when I walk the streets. Love your video’s and tips & tricks by the way 👌 Keep up the good work! Hopefully Fujifilm brings out a new 35mm out in the future with the same dimensions and maybe even an update of character.

Thanks to my understanding wife, I didn't have to choose between Fuji 35mm and Zeiss Touit 32mm. I grab sometimes this sometimes that. I always compare the differences in character between the two with Beatles and Stones. One is rougher and wilder, the other somehow finer, more elegant. Both fantastic in their own way.

Hey bro. That why I sold all my newer camera models, lenses, bigger zoom etc and left with X-T1 + 18mm f2 + 35mm 1.4. Love the simplicity of that. Same 52mm filters as well. Older sensors rendered better in my opinion as well.

Damn man, your work is so inspiring. Thank you.

Great look to those shots Eren and the music went so well with the shots too.

Love those images Even.

Totally with you on that. Something special baked into the flaws with that one. Some say it's the field curvature that does it.

I love my Fuji lens and kit. A+

Great work and love your editing,good stuff 🔥👍

Just got it this week .Love it 🧡

nice review man, love it

Excellent images and edits!

I’m not a Fujifilm user but your appraisal of that 35mm lens is very similar to the feelings I have about my manual Voigtlander 40mm f1.2 E mount lens. I agree the blend from sharp to out of focus can look less pleasing with modern lenses. Now there are Voigtlander manual lenses for Fuji, other than getting used to manual, these should be excellent character lens options for Fuji users.

fantastic images

I’ve this lens too, and my favourite too. Even as an early Fuji user. The other shots I love are from my X100F have you ever used this camera? Love all your work. Quite remarkable. You’re gonna be a star! Keep going! ❤

Yup..I’m down for the lpoty award night next Tuesday and I’ll be taking my xpro2 and 35 1.4 it’s just small enough but produces lovely images.Great video mate.

I love the intro.

So great. I have just sold my 23mm f2 and am thinking this.

I just discovered your channel today and it's such a pleasure to look at a review made by a photographer, not by an engineer ... Your photo work is also incredible by its unique rendering and quality, the best channel of photograph that I have been able to look at to date and will also subscribe to your Instagram for additional beautiful photos. Well done! Also, I followed the link for preset pack of course, but it is editing preset in LR... have you tried to work on film simulation recipes to obtain similar rendering? Would be happy to purchase such recipe instead of the LR preset (I tend to shoot jpeg to prevent the editing process as much as possible)

If it was weather sealed it would be close to perfection 👀

Just ran across this video. This is my favorite lens too, thought the 56 1.2 comes very close. But mostly I wanted to say I think your photos are lovely. Saul Leiter fan?

Boyle devam et 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

I fully agree

Totally concur with you comment re the 35 1.4. I judge a lens by the number of “keepers” I take. I have four fuji primes and what occurred to me over time was most of my favourite shots were taken with the 35 1.4 or my 56 1.2. OK the 35 appears to be the focal length I gravitate to anyway, but irrespective old it may be but this is defo my desert island lens and would never sell it. Not even tempted by the new 33. I wouldn’t want to loose its magic. BDW whats the track on this video that starts just after 6 mins in? All the best. Clive

Any suggestions for other focal lengths for X-mount that have similar character?

Good stuff 😎👊

It'll be interesting to see how this lens resolves on the new 40MP sensors, and if its "character" is retained.

Thank you for the excellent review. The harsh transition from in focus to out of focus areas with the 35mm f2 is something very present. It can be used as an effect but it can make life harder when shooting close portraits and in low light conditions. Have you noticed the same issue with the 23mm f2 and 50mm f2? Big thanks.

Great video. I regret selling this lens. I'll buy it again soon enough.

Great review ! I also made a review about this lens and my X-Pro1 combo. Seeing your video made me want to delete mine KZfaq video :) Keep up the good work.

Sold

Can I go to Japan with you on a photo walk tour? :)

I always look forward to watching it I'm Japanese and I don't understand English very well. I create sentences by translating them with Google. Sorry if it's hard to understand I really like the colors in the videos you upload What kind of settings do you use to create videos? I would be very happy if you could let me know

Selam Eren, really nice video. This lens really is glued on my xt3 and I cant even get excited on other lenses anymore. Got a question for you. I am mostly shooting SooC's should I just drop them to get a feeeling of the character everyone is talking of? Or is using recipes not killing its character

My first Fujinon lens, little beast, razor sharp, but a bit too narrow for me.

Hello :) lovely looking photos! Is the grain effect used in your samples from your pack? I’m buying this lens right now to put on my x-s10 and I’m wondering if you think there would be a difference in character between my camera and the x pro2? The look you created here is so close to what I have in mind ❤

Nice video Eren,love your shots in this video! How do you find this lens holds up at night time? I'm interested in getting this due to the 1.4 aperture for street photography at night since its getting dark so early now, but worried about what people say regarding the autofocus in low-light situations? (would ideally like to get this character filled lens and save money instead of getting the newer one)

I wanna get your presets but I got a question , I keep reading that Lightroom does not properly edit fuji Raw files So should I shoot in jpg? If I do what setting in Jpg would be best to use your Lightroom presets?

Great video as always. Is this lens too noisy for video work?

is there any difference between the old version and the one that is being produced now? (Fujifilm Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R)

Hey Eren, thanks for the videos, my favourite channel so far :) Could you do video about filters? Do you use any other than Pro-Mist?

Are you using any tiffen filter for the night highlights? Do the fit within the hood? Cheers

Curious, what filters do you use on the 35mm F1.4. Do you use diffusion filters?

Would you consider the 23mm 1.4 R in the same realm as this one? Character wise?

Unfortunately, after only a few months of use, my X T-3 repeatedly had problems recognizing the 35mm f1.4. Which is why I had to send the lens in for repairs. Does anyone know this problem?

would this be a good lens for video on xt5? i currently have the xt5 with xf18-55mm People say the 18-55 is good for photos but im lookin for a video lens now.

How about the performans in low light situations?

What color temp are you shooting at for your photos ? Amazing work.

Hi. Would I be getting dng files too when I purchase the preset pack?

Hello. I'm interested in your presets, are they compatible with the Lightroom mobile app?

Hi bro , are u using the 16:9 aspect ratio ?

Is your presets only for Lightroom desktop or does it come with the ones for Lightroom mobile?

the image at 4:04 what film simulation is that?

How is it for video?

Could you use this for the fuji xt2

Hey, can you make your presets also for capture one? Andy

How good is this lens for videography? I am looking to purchase a Sony fx30 and want to pair the perfect lens with it. Any thoughts?

what recipe are you using for these pics? downloadable?

Touit 32 does it better, change my mind :P

Excellent review and convinced me to find it in Shinjuku next trip! Your review shows the "magical" character of this lens well.
