Fujifilm's X camera system launched in early 2012, and the Fujifilm Fujinon XF 35mm F1.4 R ($599) was one of the first three lenses available for photographers who were captivated by the appealing X-Pro1 ( at Amazon) . It covers a standard-angle field of view, and when shot at a wide aperture allows you to capture images with a shallow depth of field, which makes it an ideal first lens for the system. It's a good performer, although it doesn't focus as quickly as more recent Fuji lenses and sharpness drops off as you near the edges of the frame. Our Editors' Choice is a newer offering, the Fujinon XF 35mm F2 R WR ($399.00 at Amazon) —it's a stop slower, but is quicker to focus, smaller, sharper, weather-resistant, and less expensive.

As you may have noticed in the sample images section I enjoyed my time with Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R during a business trip to Japan. Technically it may not be a perfect lens but it is capable of delivering very nice results. The center quality is breathtaking even at max.

It's more expensive than your average fast fifty, but Fuji's take has a lot to offer.

The 35mm (135 equivalent: 53mm) lens has a standard focal length with the angle of view similar to that of the human eye.
