In practice, we found the auto-focus to be fast and accurate on the X-A7 body. The Fujifilm XC 35mm F2 lens has an internal focusing (IF) system with a near-silent stepping motor. This is also is true of all the other XC branded lenses that Fujifilm have released so far. The final difference between the XC and XF 35mm lenses is the construction of the lens, both for the barrel and the mount - metal on the XF lens, cheaper plastic on the XC lens. Whereas the XF 35mm F2 R WR is both weather and dust-resistant, the XC version makes no such claims, and should therefore be used accordingly. The removal of the aperture ring does have the advantage of making this lens even shorter in length and lighter than its XF counterpart.Īnother key difference in the design of the two lenses is the removal of any level of weather-proofing in the XC 35mm F2. Instead you have to change the aperture via the control dial on the camera body. Unlike the XF version, this lens does not have a traditional aperture ring on the lens barrel, which allows you to set the aperture in 1/3 steps, complete with full aperture markings.
The Fujifilm XC 35mm F2 is a very compact, lightweight standard prime lens, weighing 130g and measuring 46.5mm in length, which is 40g lighter and 13.5mm shorter than the comparable XF 35mm F2 R WR lens.Īs you can see in the pictures below, it complements a smaller X-series camera body like the new Fujifilm X-A7 that we tested it with very well, not feeling at all front-heavy and matching the body in terms of its build quality and styling. The Fujifilm XC 35mm F2 lens is available now priced at £169.99 / $199.95 in the UK and the US, respectively. Other standout highlights include an iris diaphragm with nine rounded blades, a stepping motor autofocus system with an internal focusing design, and an optical formula that comprises 9 elements in 6 groups, including 2 aspherical elements.
This lens offers an angle-of-view equivalent to a 53mm lens in a 35mm system, similar to that of the human eye, and a bright f/2 maximum aperture for low-light shooting. The Fujifilm XC 35mm F2 is a new, affordable compact standard prime lens for Fujifilm’s X-series mirrorless camera range.
