Re: One Year On... Fuji 35mm F/2

Hi! It's very interesting that you stayed glued to the X100F. I was in a somewhat similar position, and would still regard the X100F as the most enjoyable camera to shoot I've ever owned or seen.

Having said that, the reason I sold it was the focal length itself. I wanted to play with a 35mm. Owning the X-T2 + 35mm f2 now, I can say that I am very pleased with this lens (and the combo itself - though I always miss having an X-Pro2).

What is interesting is that in the past few months since I bought this combo, it has ended up being not my default lens on the X-T2. Rather, the 60mm has.

Presumably, I see that in theory I could also only own a nice good wide and the 60mm and not need anything in between.

This is not to say anything bad about the 35mm f2. I would think that overall it is possibly the best lens I've ever held. WR, size, rendering and ultra quick AF.
