85

The Fuji XF 35mm f/1.4 is a classic, fast lens with great build quality and versatile image quality. It has some autofocus issues and softness at wide apertures but overall is a great addition for Fuji camera owners.

The Fuji XF 35mm f/1.4 is a classic lens with a useful full-frame focal length and a fairly fast aperture of f/1. It is well-made and comes with a metal lens hood and a small 52mm filter. The build quality is lovely, but there are some concerns with the autofocus system and manual focusing.

Pros
  • Useful full-frame focal length
  • Fairly fast aperture
  • Lovely build quality
  • Versatile image quality
Cons
  • Autofocus issues
  • Softness at wide apertures
  • Close-up quality issues
  • Flaring in bright lights

In terms of image quality, the lens is very sharp in the middle at f/1.4, with some softness at the corners. As you stop down, the sharpness improves, reaching its peak at f/8. The lens also has some issues with close-up quality and flaring, but it is versatile and takes beautiful pictures that are sharp enough for most purposes, except in the corners at wide apertures.
