DPRTV: Fujifilm XF35 vs XC35mm – Same Performance For Half The Price?

By Louis Ferreira | Published: January 25, 2020

The Fujifilm XF35 and XC35mm are basically identical lenses and even Fujifilm admits it, but it is half the price so DPRTV wanted to compare the two lenses to make sure:

Fujinon XF35mm f/1.4 a bit slow to focus
Fujinon XF35mm f/2 and XC35mm f/2 have basically the same optical formula
Fujinon XF35mm f/2 and XC35mm f/2 focus at about the same speed
A Little LOCA on both lenses that is identical
Bokeh is identical
Identical sun stars at f/16
No difference in colors
No differences in skin tones
Fujifilm says they are the same and they are
The XC is plastic build quality and does not have weather or dust sealing
XF is a little smoother and well dampened plus has an aperture ring
XF comes with a hood and XC does not
