This lens has come across my searches a few times now. I'm considering it.

Currently I shoot the 16mm 1.4 l 35mm 2 l 90mm 2.

Bought the 90mm for portraits and I actually use it more for landscapes. The 35mm f0.95 I'd like for portraits but I'll also be shooting still life.

What do you guys think about the f0.95?

After reading this review I was completely blown away by the photos. I'd like to do the same as this photographer. They are really fantastic.

Since I have the 35mm F2 it's a difficult decision. I don't really want a 23mm. The F2 is a great lens and I use it almost daily.

I have one and it's a great little lens! Sharp, beautiful colors and a wonderful creamy bokeh. You get more of a "vintage" look to the images with it. The only real optical flaw is that it suffers from a lot of flare. It's very different from the Fujinon 35/2 or any Fuji lens for that matter.

Aside from that it has great build quality(all metal) and a very smooth focus ring. Personally I'm not a fan of the stepless aperture ring, but I shoot at 0.95 about 99% of the time anyway For video a stepless aperture ring is probably good, though.
