![]() To take advantage of the X-series cameras' mirrorless design, the rear element of the lens is as close as possible to the sensor, minimizing the back focus distance appreciably. This is a terrific all-in-one lens for everyday use. The exceptionally fast, bright f/1.4 maximum aperture makes shooting in very low light possible, and provides pleasing bokeh (the out-of-focus portion of a photo) with its 7-blade aperture design-ideal for dramatic portraits. Fuji 35mm 1.4 iso#X-Pro1 + XF35mmF1.4 R 35mm, ISO 200, 1/120, f/5.Designed specifically for the Fujifilm X-series of interchangeable lens cameras with APS-C sensors, this Fujifilm 35mm f/1.4 XF R Lens is a "normal" lens equivalent to 53mm in 35mm format. In addition to being a slower lens and having other issues highlighted earlier, the Zeiss Touit also suffers from much more pronounced barrel distortion, measuring 1.61% and has much more lateral chromatic aberration. While both lenses seem to be quite good in terms of their sharpness, there are only specific apertures like f/2.8 where Zeiss shines, with Fuji providing better mid-frame and corner performance, especially when stopped down. To be honest, the Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8 does not seem to be worth the $300 price premium. However, the Fuji does not have very well-defined borders, while the Zeiss does (and they are pretty thick). The Fuji shows an onion-ring pattern in the highlights, while the Zeiss does not have the same problem. It is hard to decide which one looks better, since there are pros and cons to each. Let’s see how the two lenses stack up against each other in bokeh. Fuji XF 35mm f/1.4 vs Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8 Bokeh Comparison I would say that both lenses are fairly good here, with the Fuji XF 35mm f/1.4 R being a slightly better choice for stopped down performance. The XF 35mm f/1.4 R shines at f/4, but the best corner performance is reached at f/5.6 mark, where it surpasses its competitor in the corners. ![]() Once stopped down to f/2.8, the Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8 is very sharp, surpassing the Fuji XF 35mm f/1.4 R in both center and corner resolution. ![]() The numbers presented above are from the second sample.Īs you can see, the Fuji XF 35mm f/1.4 R is a bit weaker wide open, but once it is stopped down to the f/1.8-f/2 range, it matches the Zeiss in center resolution. The second sample was a much better one, with very little issues and much better field curvature control. The first sample had some optical issues, showing signs of field curvature and relatively weak corners. I tested two samples of the Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8. Let’s take a look at how the lens performed in comparison: It is two-thirds of a stop slower, but has a nice metal finish typical of Zeiss lenses, a 9-blade diaphragm (vs 7-blade on the Fuji), and Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating.Īt the same time, it has a pretty loud focus motor, relatively slow autofocus speed, and the same aperture clicking issue as the Fuji XF 35mm f/1.4 R. The new Zeiss Touit is an expensive piece of optic at $900 retail, which is $300 more expensive than what the Fuji XF 35mm f/1.4 normally sells for. ![]() Fuji XF 35mm f/1.4 vs Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8 ![]()
