I just bought the XC 35/2 but haven't received yet so can't give results. My desire was to have a small, lightweight alternative to my 18-55, and to enjoy the selective focus from the wider aperture at times. I bought the X-S10 instead of XT-4 because I have discovered that I really prefer smaller and lighter with my camera gear, and hope this XC35 will work as a good walk around solution for me (I'll never get too far away from my zoom if I'm anticipating varying requirements).

Most reviewers and users report that IQ with the XC matches the XF, and I am not concerned about the lack of rugged construction. I am very careful and gentle with my gear and have had no breakage in many years of use.

It remains to be seen whether or not I'll use it enough to warrant the purchase. If not I'll put it up for someone else to try. I considered picking up a cheap manual focus 35, but decided against that because I think they are really niche products that don't have excellent all around IQ, and the manual focus process usually ends up with more not perfectly focused images.
