The Fujifilm XF 35mm f/2 R WR is a must-have everyday lens—lightweight, fast to focus, and delivers sharp image quality for its size. It’s also very reasonably priced and weather-sealed for daily shooting in any conditions.

Simply read online reviews of this lens, and you will be tempted to buy one for yourself. All the reviews about this lens are spot on: great bokeh, fast and silent autofocus, light and compact, great build, great design (albeit a little odd due to the tapering of the lens). Everything about this lens is optically great. There is no better lens for general photography. This is the nifty-50 for the Fuji-X series. If you want to blur the background more, get the 35mm f1.4, but for the $100 less, you get weather sealing, faster autofocus, and equal performance at all equivalent apertures.

I'm using this on an X-Pro2 and it's really surprising what it does for the price. I've also owned the 35mm f/1.4 but there's a difference between them that goes beyond the widest aperture. Neither one is objectively superior and they have different qualities. For what I do I think I like the general rendering of this f/2 aperture version better. In addition, it's faster focusing, way quieter and less "clunky" in operation. It's sharp, versatile and built well. For what you pay, you get an excellent standard prime. If you're a wide-open bokeh purist the more expensive f/1.4 is better, but the f/2 version is perhaps a better lens overall when you consider every aspect -- at least for me. The image I'm posting was made with this lens -- it's post processed for the look but I think the high quality of the source image from this lens is still apparent.

I wanted a small unobtrusive lens with a standard field of view and this fits the bill. Though it's only f/2 this allows for a smaller profile and with a little forethought, I'm still able to get great separation of my subject from the background. It's not the lens for creamy bokeh, but the speed of focus is more what I was looking for.

Perfect everyday prime lense. It feels great on the hands, small and sharp!
