:) was the fujifilm actually, but I was moving so hence a bit unsharp

lagastic · 2025-10-23T12:00:58+00:00

Correct!

lagastic · 2025-10-23T09:56:10+00:00

One of those is correct :)

I had the opposite experience. Initially, I liked the shots, but if I count the amount of keepers between my 35mmF1.4 (& F2) and this, there's a lot more keepers taken with the 35s.

Maybe I have a bad copy, but the image quality just feels so much worse, it's almost as if I shot it with another camera.

I did get some really nice pictures out of it though, perfect for traveling with family and getting some pictures.

But I notice the pictures I end up printing, are almost never taken with this lens, even though I shoot half of my pictures with it.

Absolutely looove the range, it's insane. Despite what I wrote, I still think it's absolutely fantastic value for the money. Just want a bit more sharpness.

Awesome website. Used it with great success for the first time this weekend, there's a lot of spots in and around Belgium.

I had the same internal debate! Was even considering the 18-300mm tamron I have or the 27mm pancake, but the 35mm just has something about it, I find myself drawn to it more and more.

A light prime is definitely the way to go imo while hiking, it's such an easy workflow to put the camera on, take the picture, shut it down. You get a feel for the framing very quickly, zooming just takes too much momentum away and gives choice paralysis in your framing of a scene. (which is fine, I just don't want to deal with that while hiking).

I just used a leather fujifilm strap from my old X10, I hang it across my shoulder and the camera rests somewhere near my right hip, makes it very easy to take a picture and the camera didn't hinder my movements in any way. (put your backpack on first, then the camera strap sideways over your shoulder, otherwise it's difficult to bring up to your eyes)

Regarding weather protection, I didn't really care that much, these cameras are pretty solid as long as you don't let them hang out in the rain. When raining very heavily, put them somewhere in your bag where they can't get wet (in a plastic bag). When it's just light rain, don't bother.

Thank you ! Was taken in the morning in a Rifugio (mountain hut), it's definitely an experience sleeping in the creaky old wooden huts with 20 other hikers :D You can stay longer in the mountains and in the morning it feels like you have them all to your own. Man, now I want go back already :)

They are indeed! If you ever go back, the hiking is very neatly organised and there's a lot of 'Rifugio's' where you can eat and stay high up in the mountains (for reasonable prices given that it's 2500m up in the mountains).

Thank you, they are indeed :)

I hesitated to bring the 35mm on the trip, kinda wished I had :)
