Since getting my Fuji X-E5 I have been shooting with my Fuji 23mm f2 and enjoying the combo and images. However, I had a chance to get a Fuji 35mm f2 from a forum member. The 35 mm arrived today and I have only shot a few images around the house with it. Would those of you who use this lens on your Fuji camera, please share your thoughts. TIA
A few years back I had a chance a chance to use a copy for about a month, and I tested it against my35mm f/1.4. In the end I decided that both are very good optically, and that it was actually pretty hard to tell which I had used by just inspecting the files.
If you need f/1.4 get the f/1.4 version. If not, the f/2 version is very good. f/2/8 is an option, too..

* corrected. I originally typed "35mm" here in error.
