Hi all,
I've had the Fuji XF33/1.4 since purchasing my X-T5, an early X system purchase as a fundamental prime. I like the lens very much but I've been intrigued by comments by several FM'ers on the original XF35/1.4. I decided to go ahead and purchase the 35 and give it my own evaluation side by side as a still consider this focal a key length to have in the system. This is not intended to be a technical evaluation in any way. Simply my opinion only with examples of things I have photographed at length. The subject matter is my daily dog walk, informal shooting, not A/B examples of the same shot on a tripod. I wanted this to be examples of how I would use the lens, no brick walls or MTF's. Each lens did the same walk one day apart. I took some of the same shots but then selected my favorites of each. The set of photos in this post will be 35 followed by 33. Then I'll attempt to draw my conclusions.
