If this lens was weather sealed, I would use it all the time. I replaced mine with a 52mm Nikon cap,→ which is almost as good as the caps Fuji ships with their newer lenses. Lens Capįuji’s old style cap comes with the XF 35mm F1.4 for those times the hood has been left off. The hood does an excellent job of mitigating flare without obstructing the OVF like some of the large petal hoods do.
I can’t actually remember a time when I’ve taken the lens out of my bag with the cap still on it. Likewise, you can’t expect its cap to stay on. It’s not uncommon to find the hood has slipped out of the locked position on the lens, however. I love the metal hoods that ship with the XF 35mm F1.4 and XF 18mm F2 (Review), and I’m a little disappointed these premium hoods that helped define Fuji’s place in the market are now being sold as add-ons. If you were to only ever use the lens with the hood on, you may never actually realize the front element moves. The front elements will extend and retract slightly while focusing. This isn’t something that affects day to day use, but is worth noting that it does seem to be normal behaviour.Īlso hardly worth noting, this is not an internally focusing lens. On the samples I’ve handled, I can feel dramatic “jumps” in the smoothness of the rotation. How taught or smooth the rotation of this ring is also variable.
Fuji 35mm 1.4 manual#
Like all Fuji lenses, manual focus is “by wire.” The focusing ring is smooth and serviceable, but can have a small amount of “play” to it. With DC coreless focusing, it’s quite quick, but decidedly not smooth. You will want to get in the habit of giving it a quick glance as you bring it up to your eye, but at least it’s marked so you can actually see your aperture before peering through the viewfinder. The aperture ring can be a bit on the loose side, nothing like the XF 14mm F2.8 (Review), but it can have a little play, and might turn when you don’t expect it to. Since this lens is part of the original 3, which were a bit all over the place when it comes to build quality and consistency, the tolerances are not up to par with more recent releases. It can easily come along with you in jacket pocket, especially without the hood.
