I don't know if it could be considered underrated when every single person talking about this lens always mention how legendary it is with a cult following. In Japan they even call this lens as 神レンズ (Godlike lens), it's definitely properly rated if not just a tad overrated. Would love to get one myself.
@@shira_yone Hi! Thank you for your comments. I think both statements are correct. On one hand the lens is certainly not underrated as it's often praised as legendary. On the other hand it is underrated because often people bring out that the lens is not optically 100% correct. However this is precisely what makes it so special and this is not a drawback. I love this lens for what it can do for me on a daily basis. Kind regards!
@@shira_yone Good point. But it’s also thought of as an inferior lens due to its slow focus and no optical stabilization. Not to mention it isn’t weather resistant. While it definitely is a “cult classic,” it’s also skipped over because this lens is more expensive than a lot of similar lenses. While I love the lens, I also don’t think many people have this as their go-to or even sometimes-go-to; it’s more like when they want that nostalgic fix, then realize why they haven’t used it in so long when they miss a lot of shots 😂
@@HaiTomVlog Hi! I agree with this. I use my XF 35mm very often. I particularly like it for video. In fact many of my videos for this channel are made with this wonderful lens. Cheers!
Thank you. Lots of nice photos. Great color too. 👍
Hi! Thank you so much, indeed!
These were great, Tom! That lens is so underrated
Hi! Thank you so much. It was great to hear from you!

Hi tom, is it good enough this lens for xtrans1 & 2 camera?
Hi! Yes, indeed, it's a great choice for these X-mount cameras. Kind regards!
