Quite nice although personally I'd probably still prefer the 35mm f/1.4

Thank you for this - once again - nice review!


I've just bought this lens in addition to my 35mm f1.4 (prices are going up beginning September 1st in Europe and currently there is a cash back offer available).


I'm currently evaluating which lens to keep. My camera is the X-E2 FW 4.01.

Using this combination the AF of the new lens is clearly superior - which was my only gripe with the 1.4.

Other than that this lens is really sharper for the usual focal distances than the 1.4. I do not have a WR body, yet, but that might come handy at some point in the future.

But as you said - 1.4 is still a full stop faster than 2.0 which is a very important asset...

So I'm not sure which one to keep...


P.S.: Are you planning to upgrade to the new X-Trans III platform (X-Pro 2, X-T2) anytime soon?
