In search of getting weather resistant versions of my f1.4 primes, I rented this set to use for the week. And I’m having such trouble liking them. At first I thought it might be that I like the f1.4 aperture and depth of field better, but I remember often times stopping down to f2 on my faster primes, and still like the look. And in fact I just recently bought a X100F, and love the focal length and aperture look of that camera lens combo, which happens to be f2.

So why do I struggle with these beloved lenses? There’s something about them that looks a bit flat to me. I also find that although I love how silent they are, and how fast they focus in the daytime or in well lit situations; they are really slow in low light, from my experience.

I know a bunch of people love these lenses, and so I’m just curious if there are others that struggle with these particular lenses from an image aesthetic, like myself?

Yes you are
