The 35mm lens got tested by SLRgear and Photoheadonline. Both highly recommend this lens:
SLRgear (Click here) tested the Fuji 35mm f/1.4 X lens: “Very good performance, even when used wide open, and excellent performance when stopped down just a little. If you’re an X-Pro 1 user, this lens definitely deserves a place in your bag.”
Photoheadonline (Click here) compared the lens with the Zeiss 35mm f/2.0 lens: “The Fujinon however, is made so well that it is the winner of this test. It gets a High Value to Cost Ratio for its performance at a wide open aperture, as well as price, weight, compactness, and versatility. The Fujinon 35mm edges out the Zeiss 35mm lens in each of those categories, but by just a little.“

Its no surprise that the XF 35mm is scoring so well, its a cracker of a lens and my favourite lens on my X-Pro1 (I have all 3). If I had to pick one lens to go out shooting with, it would normally be the 35, so much so that I’m having to ‘force’ myself to use the 18 and the 60 just for variation!
Do check out some of the photos from my X-Pro1 adventures at http://handcarryonly.com/tagged/fuji
The pictures are from all 3 lenses although predominantly, the XF 35mm.
