No, unfortunelly no... I only have seen final pictures of XF 35/1.4, and now this blind test :) There will be probably more similar test in the future I can bet. Ok, I got your message ;)

Let's make it clear: I do never said that XF 35/1.4 is bad lens (as it seems many of You are belive I did). I do repeat, my point is about "magic" of XF 35/1.4, where In blind test its clearly ...

Yeah, I do agree that Xing's pictures are more less the same, not good, not bad. But his lens comparisons are VERY good, interesting and one of the kind, because they are good quality real world ...

Can You please refer to thread subject? It's all about "magic" in XF 35/1.4 lens :) Did You ever saw video from link I do posted? (I don't even asking if You pass this blind test) ;)

Thx for feedback :) I'm also fully scientific oriented guy, science I my other big hobby is HiFi audio equipment, and oh my god.. Haha :D You wouldn't belive how many audiophils belive in some ...

I used wrong expression. I have "combination" in my mind, instead of "characteristics". Combination of aperture and focal length :)

Well, here You go: https://youtu.be/vwRwF1Gx9XM So much, for so called "magic" of XF 35/1.4.. Because if old XF 35/1.4 is magic, then Viltrox 33/1.4 is same magical, as well as new stellar XF 33/1.4 :D

Sorry to hear that.. And I'm afraid there is no way to prevent CA's on pictures, when lens produce it so. Your only option is to sell Viltrox and get fuji 56/1.2 (used should be around twice the ...

Hmm, yes? But what is the purpose of this picture? (composition, subject, b/w conversion etc)

I do find very interesting review of new XF 33/1.4 with detailed comparsion to XF 35/1.4 https://ivanjoshualoh.com/2021/09/02/xf33mm-f1-4-wr-first-impression/ This reviews greatly shows how bokeh ...

What do You mean by that? Isn't 85/1.8 has exact same FOV/DOF on same sensor size regardless lens manufacturer? :)

Can You give link to forum pls? I very curious about those comparsions :)

Sure thing, I will not criticize anything and anybody in here, in forum :) You got my word o7 Sorry for criticism.

Nothing more to say beside - very good pictures :) Personally I would publish less of them (let's say best 3-4 from all series), but whatever :D

Im sorry, what is the point of your test? I mean... what does it should to proove? Another test to which great Fuji fast prime pick up for family shots or travell photos? You choose primes who are ...

Oh, nice! I didn't knew that there is a TTArtisan 35/1.4 group on Flickr. I did join the group ;) thx And we'll.. There is not a single photo in this group of outdoor portrait taken in a way I do. ...

Allright then, I will give back my words and admit that I was wrong about reviews of this lens with good sample images, if You give me a link to such review (or reviews). Deal? ;) BTW, maybe I will ...

By starting this thread, I was hoping to help others by showing my examples to decide whether buy this lens or not. The fact that is very very cheap, doesn't mean it should be instant buy, for ...

What picture exactly You mean? BTW. I know very well technique You mentioned, but I cannot find the reason to use it while taking pictures which I shown in this thread ;)
