    It's honestly one of the best lenses Fuji made, even with the auto focus which was a nightmare with the Xpro1/Xt1 it always delivers. Now with my Xpro2 and XT3 this lens is truly alive. Truly disappointed with the 33 1.4's lack of any style and size, fuji really dropped the ball on that "upgrade".

    • @AndreiDimaReviews

      The 33 isn't the 35's successor as both lenses stay in fujis lineup, i agree they could definitely make a 35 mark II with linear Autofocus motors and just re-use the optics but the 33mm definitely is meant for working photographers who need a reliable and weather sealed lens.

    I have almost the entire Fujifilm lineup of lenses, excluding the newest 23 and 33mm f1.4. Whatever lens I use, modern or vintage, I always go back to the original 35mm f1.4. In my opinion, its character, bokeh quality, sharpness, and entire look and feel are unmatched.

      I used to feel like 50mm (equivalent) was boring back when I used full frame, but with the amazing character and 3D depth created by this lens it became fun again. I feel like if I upgraded to the new 33 1.4 it would just become boring again. I have the 23 1.4 LM WR instead if I need more perfect image quality (and that lens DOES also have nice character, not too clinical).

    Perfect review of this legendary lens. Your images are beautiful and showcase the special character of this lenses rendering. As you said the slow autofocus that many just regurgitate is way over exaggerated. As long as you make the focus box med to large in size it focuses nice and fast, at least in single point. I do enjoy the softness of this lens when you shoot wide open and close up. It gives a classic feel to the image that works great on many subjects like flowers and insects. The very close focus distance also adds to this charm. One point that is almost never mentioned is that this lens is very sharp wide open if you are further away from your subject. I have compared it to the Nikon Z 50mm 1.8 which everyone raves in so sharp and my fuji 35mm 1.4 is sharper wide open at distances further away that 5-6 feet in both the center and midframe. In only the corners is the Nikon Z sharper wide open. This lens renders so much nicer than the Nikon Z lenses or pretty much any other lens I have used. I only with that this lens was a little wider sometimes. If the 27mm f2.8 had this lenses rendering that would probably be my go to, but this one is just hard to leave behind.

    Regarding the hood / cap situation. You do not need to remove the hood to install or remove the cap. Simply insert the cap at an oblique angle until the edge meets the lens filter ring. Then pivot the cap until it rests flat. Then you can snap it into place by squeezing the spring loaded tab. To remove, just use a single finger to press one tab and the cap will freely move off of the filter ring.
    It may be easier if you hold the lens pointing downward allowing the cap to fall into your palm.
    Had this lens for years and never took the hood off once.

    • @fotografalexandernikolis
      @fotografalexandernikolis Před 5 měsíci

      True, and not only that, but since the hood is so well protective you actually rarely need a lens cap at all. In my bad I just keep the lens with the cap off, the hood is enough.

    I love this lens and it's probably my most used one. Yeah, it's loud, AF can be a bit "slow" and there is focus hunting but the image quality... it's just too nice. There is a good reason it's still being sold, popular and almost the same value as ten years ago.
