  1. Do we really need f/1.4? Today's shot with 35/2, f/2.8 for more DOF
  2. The bokeh of the 35/1.4 could be a little nervous and look like "lensbaby" effect in the corners of a photo, when you have a busy backgroung like the leaves. Some examples, just what I found in haste Untitled Angel of death But it depends on your subjects and maybe you will never see it on your photos. And contrariwise 35/2 make the funny, joyfull balls of the leaves or so on (not mine)
  3. I'd prefer a slow, but pancake zoom, the present 16-50 is too big to get a little Fuji-camera in a pocket with me allaround. So I'd like a small, compact zoom, maybe 16-40 mm efr.
  4. I would advice to get 1.4 first, for not to regret of a slower aperture of the 35/2. And then after some time to get 35/2 and compare your feelings. For me, I prefer 35/2 because of its bokeh tracery first. 35/1.4 has a nervous, little suicidal bokeh (for my eye), and 35/2 has a joy, festive bokeh. Other advantages are AF speed, better retro-look, WR, light eight and significally smaller size. That's it
  5. don't know did anyone tell about the cheap Soviet lens Industar-61 It's a small and good performing lens for a penny. http://allphotolenses.com/lenses/item/c_666.html Here it's on my Pro-1 A couple of shots, both f/4
  6. 35/2, because of better bokeh, smaller size, better vintage look and WR
  7. 18/2 + 35/2 + 60/2.4 is my combo, I love all three And who says 18/2 has soft in the corners I think they never try to develop RAW files made with 18/2. If they try RAW they would see that there's no soft in the corners, 18/2 is sharp at all plane. The corners soft is due to incamera distortion correction only
  8. highly hope for that, this silver version and RF design, someth like that
  9. I had all three - 27/2.8, 35/1.5 and 35/2, now I get 35/2 and the rest are sold. 27/2.8 was nice - very small and better angle of view than 35mm. If to shoot street, 35mm can be a little narrow. But I kept 35/2 because it's more artistic. Smooth bokeh and solid isolation of the subject.
  10. I totally agree with you, my 18/2 is shart from corner to corner when wide open - just use RAW in the proper converter, without distortion correction. So it's amazing lens for the price - and yes, it has very pretty, soft bokeh. And one more profit - it's cool for family selfie with a camera in hand
