Does anyone have any experience using the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 or Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art on the X-T2, X-T1, or X-Pro2? I am trying to decide if I am going to purchase one of the Fuji 35mm lenses while they are on sale, or if I should hold off and adapt my Nikon mount 35mm lenses.  

I am interested in your thoughts on IQ, DOF, bokeh comparisons etc. between the two Fuji lenses and the adapted Nikon mount lenses. Also, if you have used these lenses on your Fuji, what adapter you have used.

Just be aware that you will lose the aperture control since there are no connectors between the Nikon F mount and Fuji XF.

 

There are no smart adapter for the time being, so all of them are only various level of plastic/aluminium quality and shouldn't cost you more than 20$ most of the time.

 

In all honesty, I would rather use the Fuji 35 lens, first of all, it will be smaller and light than any other contraption you could find. You wouldn't lose the AF nor the aperture control either. And the 35 F1.4 is still one of the most beloved lens on the Fuji, you will not go wrong with it.

Thanks darknj. I am now leaning towards just getting a Fuji 35mm lens.

    • If the spots are in the same place every time then its likely a dirty sensor - you can buy a sensor cleaning kit and do it yourself or take it in to get cleaned professionally.
    • Hi everyone, I am experiencing a persistent and frustrating issue with my Fujifilm X-T50 and I’m looking for advice to understand if this is a known firmware bug or a mechanical defect requiring service. When I turn on the camera and take a picture immediately in Manual Mode, the first frame is significantly overexposed. Any subsequent shot taken immediately after is perfectly exposed, even though the settings (ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed) have not changed.  The issue is intermittent. It stopped happening for a period but has recently started occurring again. Also the problem does not persist when i am using electronic shutter but on this side i'm still conducting some tests trying to switch between ES and MS. I've checked many times all the settings like PREVIEW EXP./WB IN MANUAL MODE / NATURAL VIEW, i'm sure those setting aren't the causing the issue.  It happens with both: Fujinon XF 18-55mm (Digitally controlled aperture). Meike 35mm (Fully manual/analog aperture with no electronic contacts). Since it happens with the manual Meike lens, I believe we can rule out lens communication issues. Has anyone else experienced this first shot overexposure on the X-T50 or similar X-Processor 5 bodies (X-T5/X-H2)? Given that it happens with a manual lens, I suspect this might be a mechanical shutter issue or a firmware initialization bug where the sensor gain isn't resetting fast enough at boot. The two pictures i have attached show the problem at the same settings, the image is simply overexposed no other artifacts or strange colors. Should I send it in for warranty repair immediately, or is there a known firmware workaround? Thanks for your help!

    • Hi everyone, I’m hoping you can help me with an issue I’m having with my images. Every photo I take with my Fujifilm X-T2 has visible spots on it (as shown in the attached photo). Because of this, I have to spot-heal all my images in Lightroom just to remove the spots, which is very time-consuming. I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions on what might be causing this and how I can fix it permanently. Thank you so much for your help!

    • Like jerryy said lithium batteries are shipped partially charged. Do you have ibis turned on, and is it set to continuous or shooting only?  If continuous that could be the noise you hear.   I’d also contact Amazon on the shutter count and missing wall plug.
