01 / EDITORIAL TAKE
Why this lens earns its place

- Best for
- Everyday photography, low-light work, small-subject portraiture, and a one-prime kit.
- Main tradeoff
- The compact XF 35mm F2 is easier to carry, while the older XF 35mm F1.4 offers a different rendering style at the cost of modern uniformity and AF.
