- After using this Fujifilm 35mm f2 XF & 50mm f2 lenses for over an year let me tell you what I think about this two lenses and what I recommend to choose and why. But indifferently about my opinion in photography it's always good to test and see what's working for you. Both lenses are great, but I do prefer one of them!

The reason I have hung onto my 50mm Fuji is because of the, “normal perspective.“ 35mm lens on a crop sensor is still a wide angle 35mm lens and NOT a 50mm full frame, “equivalent.” It only shares the angle of view, but the perspective, i.e., the projected separation between objects, is still distorted.
A 50mm lens on a FF sensor is where the lens perspective is that of the human eye. A 50mm lens is a 50mm lens regardless of the size of the collector plain; and the natural perspective of a 50mm lens remains so whether it’s used on a one inch RX100 Camera or an 8 x 10 large format. That’s the simple and demonstrable physics. Sorry 4/3 users but to get proper (normal) subject/object perceived separation you need to use 100mm lens.
This is the little secret camera manufactures don’t tell you… or other photographers for that matter. Why, I don’t know. I would myself be shooting with a Sony FF if not for Fuji’s relative price, size, weight, film simulations, and generally cool aesthetic form-factor-but at least I’m aware of the compromise and work around it, ergo, why I still use the Fuji 50mm and why it has a purpose even though I usually use my cropped 35mm for most of my street work. I wish it wasn’t so, guys, but there you have it.
So, one year later. Do you have any more insights, experiences and/or conclusions between the two focal lengths? I'm debating between these two lenses (and the 35mm f1.4) and with limited experience it's hadd to make a choice. Also, since last year, Fuji also released a XF30mm F2.8 macro that enters the race. Hope to hear from you! 🙌
35mm f1.4 is the best choice I would say now
Nice video. I have the 33mm f1.4, which is excellent, but for taking pictures of people, I usually use the sports finder, to get closer. I was considering the Fuji 50mm f2, to get even closer, but after your negative review, I will reconsider it. Thanks
The 50mm F2 is ok for what it is - but it's not an every day lens. 33mm f1.4 on sports finder mode I think is a good choice. The next choice a 56mm lens I would recommend.
@@Tudor_Mateescu Many thanks for your advice.
Halo, this is the German Coast Guard, what are you "sinking" about?
Jokes aside, thank you for sharing your experience.
Can you make a tutorial about best low light lenses for Fujifilm systems?
Thank you, I've noted the ideea ;)
Choose both!
I'm surprised that the 50mm f/2 is slower to focus than the 35mm f/2. Good to know!
I was surprised too, didn't expect that when I've bought it. It feels especially in low light. It's not much slower, but it feels...
50mm F2 is the best lens of f2 series, except the 90mm...
I choose 23/f2 + 35/f1.4 + sigma 56/1.4
I find the AF on my 50mm f2 just as snappy as my 35mm f2.
It's similar, but in low light and in some situations I feel it's not quite there. But nothing to complain too much how I've said. If searched now on google and I see other are complaining too about beeing slow in low light. So make some test in low light/night street photography.
@@Tudor_Mateescu Ah, gotcha. I'll have to test that out. I usually just use the 35mm at night. No reason other than it's my favorite lens.
You admit it yourself: The 50mm are your personal problem.
