1. Introduction

The Fujifilm company try to develop their X system on many different planes. It is clear fast lenses have a priority there because currently in their line-up you can find 16 mm, 23 mm and 35 mm instruments with aperture as fast as f/1.4 along with two versions of the 56 mm f/1.2 model.

Still the fans of smaller lenses aren’t forgotten and I mean here those who care more about physical dimensions than aperture fastness. As soon as the X system was launched the company released also a tiny 2/18 model and then a classic 2.8/27 “pancake” was added to that one. In October 2015 the system was once again enlarged by another small instrument, the Fujinon XF 35 mm f/2 R WR. Mind you the small dimensions don’t entail a delicate device, quite the opposite in fact – the lens looks very solid indeed and is weather-resistant.

We would like to thank the Fujifilm company for lending us the lens for testing purposes very quickly indeed.
