Hi Ken, I saw you have tested the TTartisan 35mm f1.8 and here you are using the XF 35 F2 from Fujifilm. I am aware of the 2 issues you noticed with the TTartisan, flare and minimum focus distance. I am undecided and maybe you can share your view: I love everything about the XF 35F2 (WR, size, AF speed, aperture ring) except the F2. Am using an X-Pro 2 so like to keep the lens small. On the other hand a faster aperture is always welcome. Some faster alternatives like the Sigma 30mm F1.4 as well as the Viltrox 33mm F1.4 are a bit too big for my liking. Does the F1.8 from TTartisan isolate the subjects noticably better than the F2 from Fuji if your subject is a few meters away? I assume for closeup the fuji still wins due to min. focus distance. But how about if the subject is 2-3 meters away? Obviously if it wasn't for the sluggish AF I'd pick the old XF 35mm F1.4. Thank you in advance :)

Hi, thank you for the question, i would say the 1.8 is not that much different from the f2 at isolating the subject, or low light. If you are considering the fuji f2 and TTartisan f1.8, I would say the fuji f2 is a better lens overall, from the build quality to size and weight and the performance. To be honest I bought the TTartisan just because it was cheap and I thought it would be fun making this video, I haven't really use it afterward, the minimum focusing distance was quite an inconvenience, for example if you want to take a photo of your food, you will have to lean quite far back from your chair to take the photo, if it is 50mm it will be okay because you will be quite zoomed in, but for a 35mm it is kind of annoying and because it is their first few auto focus lens, i think it will be refresh in a year or two. So if you want a lens to keep i would say the fuji f2 is a better choice, I would get one second handed because if you don't like it you can pretty much get what you paid for back but i could say so to the TTartisan. hopefully this can help you and feel free to reach out again if you have other questions, thanks

Surprised you shot with the X-S10. Why not your X-S20?

[@kenyudoit]

This was shot before I bought my X-S20, had a few video that I didn't get to edit last year, it would be so nice if this was shot with the X-S20

@@kenyudoit thanks! Mainly colors and dynamic range? I have an x-s10 and was curious

[@kenyudoit]

for me it is the 4k 60p for slow motion, the colour and dynamic range is fine for me, I shot quite a lot with the xs10 in 4k 24p and I was happy with it, the f-log is good for grading and the film simulation is useful if I don't want to grade. it is the 1080p 60p really bugs me, everything is a bit blurry when I was editing, looking at the footage I will be happier to just shoot in 4k 24p... I guess I am just spoiled by higher resolution @@garends225
