There’s no distortion which is unusual for a 35mm lens, and another surprise is the complete lack of vignetting, even at f/1.4, This could be the ‘cleanest’ 35mm equivalent lens ever produced – it’s definitely the better of the two 23mm XF options, in terms of image quality. You can see the subject separation and smooth bokeh exhibited by the 23mm f/1.4 in the image below. The 23mm f/1.4 is super-sharp, focuses accurately and near instantaneously, has beautiful bokeh when shot wide open at f/1.4, and also displays awesome sun stars when stopped down to smaller apertures.
#FUJI 27MM VS 35MM F2 SERIES#
It’s usually the smaller prime options such as this one that are the most popular for Fuji X series cameras, since they balance so well with the camera body.ģ5mm is arguably the most popular focal length for photographers due to its versatility, being equally at home shooting portraits as well as being wide enough to fill the frame with interest. When I tested a range of Fujifilm lens options for this review, I had this Fuji 23mm f/1.4 on my camera 90% of the time… and absolutely loved it. Dimensions: 2.83 x 2.83 x 2.48 in (71 x 71 x 62 mm)įor many photographers (including myself), this is one of the best Fuji prime lenses ever made.This provides a medium to long range zoom capabilities, making the 55-200mm f/3,5-4.8 an excellent choice for cropping tight on landscape shots or pulling elements in the distance closer together (see below image as an example). The 55-200mm focal length when used on a Fuji X mount camera with a 1.52x crop factor shows the same angle of view as an 80-300mm lens on a 35mm camera – see this guide for more about focal length conversions. Imagine being able to shoot 4 or 5 stops slower than you usually would with a long-range zoom lens and still have a sharp photo!īeing able to use slower shutter speeds in low light will allow you to use lower ISOs, which in turn leads to a cleaner final image. The inbuilt image stabilisation of the 55-200mm f/3,5-4.8 is impressive, allowing the use of slow shutter speeds to prevent camera shake even when hand-holding in low light situations.
Focus is silent and fast, perfectly complementing the best Fuji cameras for discreet shooting.

Shown on a X-Pro1 above, the 55-200mm f/3,5-4.8 is a relatively portable telephoto zoom that offers impressive image quality right across its wide zoom range. So let’s take a look at the best Fuji lenses right now. It’s clear that the compact, lightweight, high quality and affordable lens selection is one of the major drawcards of the Fujifilm mirrorless camera system.
