The Fujinon XF 35mm F2 R WR is a great 35mm addition to Fujifilm’s mirrorless camera system. It’s affordable, compact, and is weather resistant. It captures a good amount of light, even if shooting with a wide open lens. This is a great addition to your Fuji X camera.
Fujinon XF 35mm F2 R WR Features
The Fujinon XF 35mm F2 R WR is a small lens, measuring at 1.8″ x 2.4″ and weighing a paltry 6oz. It supports a 43mm front filter and comes with a lens hood. The lens hood needs to be screwed into the filter thread, which can be kind of annoying.
The manual focus ring is located behind the front element on the Fujinon XF 35mm F2 R WR. This lens is an autofocus lens, also known as electronic. You can manually adjust the lens by turning the focus ring, but even that is going to be moved with the computer. If you’re an SLR owner, this takes some time to get used to.
Image Quality
The Fujinon XF 35mm F2 R WR shoots a very high quality photograph. The APS-C images sensors do a fantastic job of shooting wide angle shots – surprisingly good for a 35mm lens.
Testing shows that photos come out incredibly sharp and accurate, with minimal blurring and distortion on the edges. The edges get a bit worse as you lower the aperture, but nothing that can’t be fixed with a slight adjustment.
Pros
- Amazing value
- Weather sealed
- Compact
Cons
- No image stabilization
- Hood can be annoying to use
