Fuji 35mm 1.45/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Even with a basic distortion correction things tighten up enough that I'd find the results acceptable. Still, the low level of it isn't enough to worry about. On my sample, there's a bit of unevenness to the distortion, as if there's a bit of a wave at the extremes. Linear distortion: there's perhaps 1% barrel distortion in pure raw images, a bit less in JPEG. ![]() It's actually fairly weak from f/1.4 to f/2.8 in the corners. I know a lot of others have written about how exceptional this lens is, but I'm not seeing it the same way. Indeed, if corners are really important, I wouldn't shoot with this lens faster than f/2.8. Yes, you read that right: at f/1.4, f/2, f/2.8, f/4, the edges and corners are visibly weaker than the center area. The edges and corners improve at every aperture up to about f/8, but it's only at f/5.6 that they're in good balance with the center. At f/1.4 the corners are poor and the edges aren't all that much better. The edges and corners are a different story. But the center is also excellent right from f/1.4 and stays that way until diffraction really starts to eat into things at about f/11. I suspect that at f/4 that you can't get much, if anything, more out of the center of the 16mp X-Trans sensor. Let's start with the MTF numbers, because I think many will find them a bit surprising. Come on Fujfilm, let's get this right and consistent!īe aware that-especially with the hood mounted-this is a fairly big lens and is going to block some of the optical viewfinder on the X-Pro1. It's not as bad as my 14mm, which has a very loose ring, but it's also nowhere near as tight as the ring on my 18mm. This is probably one of those lenses where you might want to go with a neoprene hat instead of a cap (for example, the Op/Tech Micro ).Īs with a couple of my Fujinon lenses, the aperture ring on my 35mm is a bit too loose, and somewhat easy to dislodge. The more you use it, the looser the cap fit gets and the worse the problem gets. It comes with a push on rubber cap, but this cap has a strong tendency to come off in the bag, or when rubbed against outside the bag. The problem with the lens hood is the lens cap. Finding the attach point and getting a secure click-in when mounted are exactly as they should be (not always true of bayonets). So let's start with that lens hood: it bayonets on better than any of the other Fujifilm hoods. This definitely provides for good front element shading. Fujifilm's lens hood for the 35mm is unusual, going from round at the bayonet to a squeezed rectangular up front.
