Anyone looking for a cheap relative wideish lens for the X system, this lens is really a no brainer because image quality is quite acceptable and the lens is cheap. No excuse for not owning this lens.

Last image from this combination for the time being. This is the ferry over the River Main in Frankfurt, Germany. Focus isn't the fastest on the older Fujifilm models but it's quick enough for this type of image. Focusing is also accurate, which is really important to me.

Just a few images to show what this lens is capable of. It doesn'r matter what you photograph with it, I find the images pop.

It doesn't matter which Fujifilm body you use this lens on, it's just super on all of them.

If you're looking for a great shrp lens for the Fujifilm X system, look no further than the XF 35 f1.4.

This is the last image from this combination for the moment. I suppose some of you are glad after the last few posts. On every walk my wife and myself go on I have to take at least one obligatory photo of her (she's got used to it by now) and this is the one taken with the 85 f4 Tessar. I like the rendition and the Fuji colours are very nice. I think the Olympus and Fuji cameras produce the best colour at the moment. Panasonic I've always had trouble with, Nikon is ok and I don't like Canon anymore. Hope the last few posts have been helpfull to somebody out there.

These type of images might be boring to some of you but I just couldn't help myself taking them.

I just love this type of image. The near subject is sharp and the image just melts away until the background is just a blur.

I could check both bokeh and focus accuracy with this image. Nice bokeh, great colour rendition and focusing is very accurate. Very sharp on the X-T1 and together with the Zeiss Planar 50 f2, this lens will be used quite a lot on the X-T1 when a longer lens is needed. Again this is one of the cheaper Zeiss lenses and it just proves that good lenses don't have to cost thousands. Of course, it's only an f4 lens so good light is needed to use it unless a tripod comes into play.

Testing manual focusing accuracy again. Focus was on the left Mandarin Duck and very nice ducks they are. In recent years I'm certain that the population of these very colourful ducks has increased dramatically. As I was shooting on this day, I saw at least 20 of these all together in a relatively small area. Never seen that before.

Anyway, I digress, as you can see the lens is very sharp even wide open as in the image above.
