Let’s take a look at the lens performance measured by Imatest: I recognize that Fuji might release a higher resolution camera in the future, but my tests will still have to be done with the same X-T1 to stay consistent. Similarly for the Fuji system, I decided to standardize on the Fuji X-T1, which I will be using for all lens tests going forward. That’s why I never change cameras when testing Nikon lenses and always stick to my D810, which is my standard for evaluating lens performance on the Nikon system. If I were to mount the exact same lens on the D750 (which has a 24 MP sensor and a low-pass filter) Imatest numbers would be noticeably smaller. This means that such variables as sensor resolution, image processing pipeline and low-pass filter could have a serious impact on the produced data.įor example, the Nikon D810 can yield fairly large numbers in Imatest, thanks to its 36 MP sensor and lack of a low-pass filter. That’s because Imatest analyzes the lens + camera combination to quantify lens performance. Meaning, you should not compare data from a Nikon lens to a Fuji lens. It is extremely important to point out that cross-brand comparisons with Imatest data should never be done. Since I measure MTF performance using Imatest and DCRaw, the below results reflect lens performance without any corrections, so you can see what the real optical capabilities of a lens are.

In addition, Adobe software automatically applies optical corrections to Fuji’s RAW files, making it impossible to see what corrections do to images. While it certainly helps push sharpness in the center all apertures, it strangely results in decreased mid-frame and corner performance between f/1.4 and f/2.0.

"Normal" 53mm (equivalent in 35mm format) lens that focuses to 11"Īspheric and ED elements to combat field curvature and chromatic aberration This lens has a maximum magnification of 0.17x, and the aperture ring has 1/3-stop click stops for more precise exposures.

The lens construction includes a metal barrel, Super EVC coating for improved optical performance, and it delivers improved center-to-edge resolution and brightness free from chromatic aberration. To take advantage of the X-Pro1's 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. Designed specifically for the Fujifilm X-Pro1 camera with an APS-C sensor, this Fujifilm 35mm f/1.4 XF R Lens is a "normal" lens equivalent to 53mm in 35mm format.
