Super compact lens that fits well with the logic of a compact system (weight and size).

Pros:
Built quality
Weight and dimensions
Image quality and clarity from f / 2 (The peaks are reached at f / 4 and f / 5.6)
Well-notched aperture ring
WR

Cons (annoying points):
Sunshade included too small and not efficient

An excellent normal focal lenses to consider without hesitation

Compare to f/1.4

With a SLR camera, a large aperture offers an undeniable advantage of brightness in the viewfinder, of course, but this is not an argument with an electronic viewfinder where you can see clearly regardless of the light conditions.

Why pay more for a larger lens, which sorely lacks edge / center sharpness, with slow AF, and which, moreover, is not even WR?

This lens achieves a certain uniformity only at f / 5.6, but without ever reaching the sharpness of f / 2 ...! (All tests prove it)

Be advised !

The XF35/2 is indeed a very nice lens, BUT the XF35/1.4 is not less sharp, not much bigger, and its not much slower in real life. Yes its not WR and it has slower continous AF performance. But my 35/1.4 is actually sharper than the 35/2 especially in the corners. The F2 version has some nasty barrel distortion so edges will be never as sharp as with the F1.4 version.
