Wow. I like the 18-55, and I use it a lot, but I wouldn't give up the 35 for it.

Katie, I would class the 35 as a great lens, I love mine.
I like my 18-55 also, but I also would not trade my 35 for it.

Hi All ... Looking to trade my 35mm for the 18-55 zoom if anyone is interested...

Got an X-Pro 1 & 18-55 a couple of weeks back. Liking it so far as a lightweight alternative to my Nikon gear.

First I used this camera was with the 2.0 update, so everything seems to be fine with it. My only real gripe is having to press that "AF" button to change focus points !! AF speed seems fine enough with the 18-55.

Very surprised and happy with the 18-55 "kit" lens. You can still squeeze some bokeh out at 55 f/4

And a few taken with the X-Pro 1 & my 50 Summilux ASPH via the Fuji M adapter ...

But I don't EVER shoot 50mm equivalent focal length! I would be so much better off with a 35mm or wider as a main AF lens. As far as primes go, I have my M mount lenses in 15mm, 21mm, 28mm and a cheapo 50ishmm (industar). I KNOW I want the 55-200 zoom this summer ... but just don't think the 35mm --> basically a 50mm should be my go to AF prime. I'm having a hard time composing with this length. Maybe I'll keep it until I get the zoom and then decide from there.

just images...

This is my first post here at fuji forum.
I bought a x-pro1 used couple of days ago since I've sold my beloved m8.2.
When I held x-pro1 in hand for the first time. I was so disappointed.
I was even more disappointed with the 35 1.4.
Mainly because I was so used to heavy & tight leicas.
My 35 summicron asph seems to have slightly soft edges sometimes (I use the fuji m adapter)

And the OVF is truely wasting time when using leica glass. The frame line is so inaccurate.
maybe I'm doing something wrong here.

Most of the time, I only use EVF.
So what I'm going to do next is add X-E1 !!
The IQ is great and overal speed is so much faster than my leica although I miss that craftmanship.
And the panorama is so much fun!

Here are couple images I've taken at first outting with fuji and leica glass.

great shot guys..

xe-1 & 14 mm

Here are a couple of images taken with Fujifilm X-E1 camera and my tripod mounted Leica 280mm f4 Apo Telyt lens with Leica 1.4X Apo Extender yesterday after a light snowfall. Images shot out my open kitchen sliding door (on 2nd floor of a walk out basement home) shooting across my backyard, over fenced retention pond, and across a farmers field. Images processed in LR4.4RC.

...or maybe I should just get the 14!

Lovely shots!

This is very nice, the stream leading into the landscape.

This was a scene too nice to miss.

IS it possible to get around the 40mm mark with a fast lens. Cheers

The latest firmware update has improved the autofocus in low light.
I'm happy! (as you can see in the last pic!)

35mm

Fuji X-E1 and Contax N 85/1.4
Reprocessed RAW in camera using Velvia setting.

Oh, and handheld.
Have to play with this combo more.
Need to take a pic of lens on the camera, kinda funny.

How's the lens compared to your old Zeiss 85mm f2.8?
