Fujifilm 35mm F2 vs F1.4| Best For Street Photography? 

I absolutely love the 35mm f1.4. I hardly ever use anything else. I’ve got a little rain cover for when it rains and it even helps me feel a bit more discreet as well as the added protection.

Owned both lenses for about a year and these are my conclusions: AF: f2: snappy, reliable, video af still jerky f1.4: not so snappy, unreliable in bad conditions, video af very noticeable jerks and pumping weight and size: Hardly any difference Style and the feels: f2: bang-on contrasty and sharp rendering. Fully saturated colors. Hardly any problems with direct light and flares f1.4: soft in a lovely, tender way, beautiful tones and sharp to blurry rendering. Direct light and flares have to be controlled. When it is used carefully/lucky it's such a joy. Absolutely beautiful. If it's off it's a mess. So i sold the f2 and kept the 1.4. Though it was my first fuji lens and i bought it used when it was already a couple of years old it is kind of wobbly and noisy. So i looked out for a newer version on the used market and found one barely used and not even a year old. The f2 is a great lens, very reliable and well designed and build. But the 1.4 is the reason i fell for the fuji system and i still love it to bits. On a side note: I also bought the viltrox, which is actually technically pretty great. And the video af is the best of these three. But it looks like any other sony/sigma/canon lens. Soft bokeh, very sharp, but hardly any character...

The 1.4 was my first X-mount lens. It's my go-to for street photography.

The 1.4 is glued to my X-Pro3 and just love that setup...

The fine details and the character of the f/1.4 is an easy choice over the 35 f/2 in my opinion. I would say get a good filter for the front and a rain cover if that's the biggest issue with the lens, because you cannot get the character back, but you can protect the 1.4 from the elements.

Realise this is an older video, but I really love your shots, they're super atmospheric.

23mm f/1.4 vs 23mm f/2 will be another great video!

I owned both for quite a while, the f2 was quicker to focus and a bit sharper, but I liked the look of the f1.4. I sold the f2.

Hope your brother said thanks for using the lens! :D sounds like the f2 would be better for street in adverse weather conditions. Loved this review! Keep it up

Thanks for this! There is quite a bit of AF difference on an X-Pro1 😉. The f2 gives the old lady a right kick up the AF butt 😎. For everyday use, on my X-Pro1 the f2 does just great. And the old sensor gives the newer lenses a nice ‚not so digital‘ look. Cheers

Cheee your edits are such heat. you made a ridiculous mood out of the fuji colors maddddd

Would love to see that 56mm f1.4 vs the 50mm f2 video! ive been stuck on whether to get either of those or this 35mm f2

Having owned both, the 1.4 is my choice

My question is if you ever dropped the lenses since you were throwing it so much from hand to hand, I was in suspense the whole video 😂😂

My 35 1.4 is my go to lens though, I always tend to grab that one. Great video bro as always

Bro my heart stops every time you juggle with those lenses😅

this is the exact question i've been asking! I have the 56mm f/1.2 and 16mm f/1.4. Needed to decide on 35mm vs 23mm, and f/2 vs f/1.4. Deciding on the 35mm f/2 for my use case :)

Thank you for this very interesting comparison between these 2 lenses. I own an X100F. Big fan of urban night photography, I'm considering buying the 1.4 paired with either an X-T30 II or X-E4.

Thank you for sharing, very nice comparison. This is exactly what I need🙌🏼

Nice comparison 👏. I own f1.4 and really love it. Still hoping mk2 of this lens. For weather conditions I bought 50mm f2 which really enjoy.

35mm f1.4 is a no go because of slow noisy focus, no weather resistance and comparably bad resolution. 35mm f2 is the better choice for me clearly.

Fantastic comparison 😊👏 I would like to see between 50mm f2 and 56mm f1.2 too! I own 35mm f2 and it is my most used lens for everyday...I would like to try 1.4 due to this "filmic look" that everybody talks about, but I really like contrasty look with of the Fujicron f2 primes... Also WR is really important for me too... I think Fuji will come up with something like 30mm or 33mm f 1.2 or 1.4 in the future 😁

I'm considering the 35mm f1.4 for my xt4 for street photography too. Thank you for the great video.

thanks a lot! great video...love your wonderful shots

Would be interested in your thoughts on the 50mm f2 vs the 56mm f1.2 too. Obv one and half stop faster but no WR on the 56mm

Great video! But u didnt help me 😂 Still thinking on one of those...🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Really enjoyed the video, thanks for the comparison. Maybe next time you don't need to say '35mm' everytime you're identifying the lenses, and could just say f2 or f1.4, since they're both the same focal length?

What do you think about using it? Xa7 Will I be able to use the full performance of the lens?And if compared to other lenses, 33mm f1.4 r lm wr What do you think?

Great video , I would love for you to do POV street photography . keep up the good work

1.4 team 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

Hey Eren, great shots. I love walking around London doing street photography. I've been using legacy lenses on my X-E2 and now X-Pro2, but am thinking about a Fuji 35mm lens. I want to know if any of these would be better for manual focus. (I know these are focus-by-wire) so not great. but if you need to manual focus, which one would you choose. thanks mate.

Awesome review dude 💯

How do to use the 35 F1.4 in raining days? since the lens don't have water resistence protection

Can we get more picture shots with the 35mm F1.4 soon?

I sold my 35 1.4 for Nokton 35 1.2, I got bored with weird AF and weird manual focus by wire. Magic ok, but sloooow and noisy.

Great video, where do you get the number reel overlay from that you have in your intro I can’t seem to find it anywhere!?

Hocam Merhabalar kolay gelsin. 18 55 lensimin yanına sabit lens almayı düşünüyorum. Kullanım amacım genellikle video üzerine detay çekimleri olarak düşünüyorum. 35mm 1.4 mü önerirsiniz yoksa 35 mm 2.0 mi Veya sizin önereceğiniz kullanım amacıma uygun fiyat performans lens hangisidir? Bide bütçem 2.ele yetiyor ona göre değerlendirirseniz çok sevinirim ☺️

Will the f/2 still be good at night?

I'm looking into starting street photography, should I get the 23mm f2 or the 35mm f2?

Ofc the 1.4 is the more expensive one that everyone likes 😭

I like the colors of your pictures, did you use recipes for jpegs or is post production?

Nice shots!

güzel video 35f2 her zaman favorim =)

Y’all hear about the 33mm f/1.4 coming out?

Useful comparison, use-case based, Eren. Your brother has a good teacher. (Keep an eye on your gear😁. ) The faster lenses are said to be somewhat noisier when focusing, a negative for video shooters. Your use was photo, not video, but did you detect any differences? Soon you won’t have that “lockdown” excuse😁. Cheers!

do you have the 23mm f2 as well? im wondering if i should have a look at it sometime, or is there no point if i already have a 35mm?

For street photography, f1.2 or f2, which one is better?? thankss

What about the sound of the AF? Is it too much louder in the 1.4?

The 35 1.4 is simply magical for me with its film like color tone. The only lens that I need and I choose if I only can choose one from all the lens on Fujifilm line up. Had the chance to try the f2 version for couple month from my friend just for the sake of WR, but somehow I didnt get the same feeling like when using the 1.4. There is some magical unexplained thing that come with the 1.4 and when you look at the photo result. Combining it with my Xpro2 Graphite and its simply the best for me, been using the lens for almost 5 years now and not gonna sell it 😄

your shots look great. you shoot film or is that some mad edits?

Can't wait for your video where you wound perform juggling with three lenses. How about four and a camera? Just wear a wig and your channel would reach plenty of circus lovers. Thank for sharing your juggling skills.

Eren? Selam, türksün galiba:)
