Is the Fujifilm 35mm 1.4 a bad lens? No, not at all. And nothing annoys me more than having to swap autofocus modes or continuously having to switch the ‘Eye AF’ function on and off constantly because the camera is focusing on the wrong subject. It’s all personal preference at the end of the day, but I just love the simplicity of manual focus lenses. But I’m a little old school in that way of thinking and working. I still have moments though where I’ll just pop on a manual focus lens because the autofocus lens is distracting me too much. I don’t mind manual focusing and it’s not that difficult to do on a Fuji camera, but when I’m photographing events or weddings, it does drain my energy levels quicker than when I’m using an autofocus lens that works well. I wish that Samyang would make an autofocus version of this lens! Of all their APS-C mirrorless lenses actually. I honestly didn’t think I could make them look so similar!Īgain, first one is the Fuji, second one is the Samyang: However when I changed the white balance of the Fujifilm to 5700k, keeping the secondary slider at +10, and changed the white balance on the Samyang photo to 5500k and +21, the two become much more similar than initially anticipated. That sets it to 5500K and +10 on the green/magenta scale. Interestingly, I set both photos to the standard ‘Daylight’ setting within Lightroom. The image looks way sunnier in comparison. The Samyang has a much warmer, friendlier tone. Regarding colour, the greens with the Fujifilm are colder looking, the whole image is colder actually. The latter has more defined edges to its bokeh. With it being an f1.2 aperture, it is also blurred a little more than the Fujifilm. Immediately, you can see in the yellow bush in the middle that the Samyang has much smoother bokeh, without appearing too clinical. It’s either wide open or f2.8 or smaller. I thought it would only be fair to do so, as you wouldn’t stop down the Samyang to 1.4 usually during a shoot. Both lenses were shot wide open, so either f1.4 or f1.2. ![]() Very bright f/1.This shot indicates two things nicely the difference in bokeh and the different colours these lenses produce. ![]() ![]() "Normal" 53mm (equivalent in 35mm format) lens that focuses to 11"Īspheric and ED elements to combat field curvature and chromatic aberration This lens has a maximum magnification of 0.17x, and the aperture ring has 1/3-stop click stops for more precise exposures. The lens construction includes a metal barrel, Super EVC coating for improved optical performance, and it delivers improved center-to-edge resolution and brightness free from chromatic aberration. To take advantage of the X-Pro1's mirrorless design, the rear element of the lens is as close as possible to the sensor, minimizing the back focus distance appreciably. This is a terrific all-in-one lens for everyday use. The exceptionally fast, bright f/1.4 maximum aperture makes shooting in very low light possible, and provides pleasing bokeh (the out-of-focus portion of a photo) with its 7-blade aperture design-ideal for dramatic portraits. Designed specifically for the Fujifilm X-Pro1 camera with an APS-C sensor, this Fujifilm 35mm f/1.4 XF R Lens is a "normal" lens equivalent to 53mm in 35mm format.
