XT1 & Fujinon 35mm 1.4

I hope so, Will try to mke full use of it

Checking with XT2 users, i notice my XT2 can't use the rear command dial to change size of focus frame whether it is in Single Point or Zone AF mode. Do you have similar issue?

Well after I used the x100t, I wanted a faster focus lens for street photography and came in liking the 35mm equivalent field of view. I bought the the 23 f1.4 for that reason. I would sold it for 16mm if fuji finally release the successor x100 series with better auto focus

Did u press down the focus stick before try to change the size of the focus box? If u did, then something is not right . Any changes towards the setting? Did u tried using the front dial instead?

Yes, 23mm is a wonderful lens. I prefer wide lenses.

It works following what you described. Thank you

Just noticed this beauty in my garden

56mm @ f/1.2, ISO 200, SS 1/320

Check out the Samyang 12mm f/2. Since AF isn't that critical with wide angle lens, MF lens isn't all that bad. Angle so wide you can handheld down to 1/10 without OIS too. It is not expensive at Lazada, so you get the wide-angle that you need once a while use.

Yeah I know about it, I like true manual focus lens unlike fly by wire focus for mirrorless. To bad no zeiss lens for fuji
I sometime wanted the exif data from the lens, thats why I'm choosing between 10-24mm or the samyang 12mm

Am looking for 35mm 1.4f lense. Please pm me if you are looking to sell

1.8 and
Actually there are 3-Zeiss Touit lenses for Fuji, i.e. 12mm F2.8, 32mm F1.8 & 50mm F2.8.

any1 know the latest price of xt2?
any drop?

I meant zeiss manual lens just like zeiss did for sony the loxia line up

X-A3 was launched at WonderPhotoShop Sunway Pyramid today by Fujifilm Malaysia's managing director Yoshitaka Nakamura, Farah Ann named as the brand ambassador, also there's this collaboration with local designer called FUJIFILM x Hatta Dolmat

Guys... finally managed to sell off my old camera.... and I think more or less I am poisoned by Fuji...

So my precious 2 cam... most used lens was the 35mm or 30mm prime lens so I am almost certain to get fuji 35mm as well....

Just that now occasionally I do feel like I need wide lens for group photo.... or sometimes I feel I need to zoom also when travelling and if stand far away then I need to zoom.... so based on that I guess I can try get the kit lens....

What I need opinion is:
1. Anyone uses the kit lens vs the 18mm prime and is there a big noticeable difference in IQ?
2. any other recommended lens based on my usage above?

Thanks !

Get the 18-55 kit lens or 16-55..

my x70 thumb grip rubber fell off few times during my trip last week.. luckily i found the rubber in the car...

anyone facing this issue? never thought that rubber can be so easily fell off.. think i need to use superglue to glue it back.. zzz

Just get the 16-50 lens either the variable aperture or the fix f2.8 lens . Trust me 18mm isn't wide enough for group photo. There's many instance I always wished my kit lens was a tad wider . Although for my case I just get a wider angle lens just for the group photo

18-55 kit lens is good enough, if you need WR go for 16-55 great for everything.. the downside is low light AF bit cacat , expensive and HEAVY!!


maybe you can consider 23mm f1.4 or 23mm f2 WR

any user of 35mm prime here? looking at 35mm f1.4 vs 35mm f2...don't know why sometimes the maker have to purposely give the user headaches...haiz...

35mm 1.4 - sharper from review...better in low light...but focus slower
35mm f2 - less sharp, but focus faster... weather resistant feature, of course much cheaper, probably about 2/3 of price, smaller size

what tempted me on f2 is the size and WR....but a lot of times i wish i can go lower on aperture....

the earlier pic from Tanakwagu_noh really damn nice also... from f1.4 lens...
