Same here, but the Zeiss is still slower and tends more often to hunt... but it's manageable - use only AF-C with focusing assigned to AF/AE-L button.

Maybe a minor thing, but the Zeiss offers a slightly shorter FL. So, depending on the entire kit, someone may prefer the one over the other for this reason.

Here are two recent shots with the 32/1.8 from Nuremberg / Germany: Unfortunately, I do not have 1:1 comparsion shots . If I should describe both lenses with just one adjective, I would say the ...

Have both but will sell the Fuji. The Zeiss is a bit sharper, giving a bit more contrast, but most important, the color rendering is something unique. You will get really bold colors from it! Benef ...

Wonderful and inspiring shots! Thanks for sharing!

Yep!

Very nice shots, some are absolut superb! And yes, I totally agree - the 35 is a very useful FL. In my former DSLR days, I was using a 23mm as "wide standard", but in the meantime, I am very used ...

Thanks for sharing! Superb pictures and writing!

And that's the only thing that counts - having fun by taking photos! Unfortunately, we are forgetting that too often.... But Greg, just curious.... how do you carry that gear, and how do you travel ...

Hi, getting a used older camera could be also an option. For more advises, it would be helpful if you could provide a bit of context... why to you want to switch, IQ, size, other specific factors? ...

Thanks for sharing!

Right. Or to have the coice upfront, before leaving.

What would be your recommendation for a prime? Would the 18 be fine?

I'm curious to hear about your experience!

Thanks for sharing your experiences! Do you mind to show some of the 14mm shots esp. from Tokyo? Would be great :)

Hi all, I am planning for a 12 day travel to Japan. I'll take a 35mm and the XP1 with me, and one WA (love to travel light...). However, I am wondering if the 18 is okay for street and cityscape in ...

Will work very well! Only one lens let you focus on composition, not on gear. I was on trips with only a 23 or 35 as the one and only lens - never regretted! Have a safe trip!

Very strong pics, esp. the composition of the 1st and 2nd, but also the last one is very nice (but it looks a bit dark to me). I would be happy if I could do such great portraits!

I would go for the prime, but dv312 makes a good point on "more" primes by the time. My advice is to plan for the entire kit. If you would go for instance to 14 and 50 as the next ones, the 23 ...

More than in other subjects it is a matter of the photographer and not the camera. There are so many tricks to get a fresh look... lighting is of course very important, but also the specific food ...
