I have just bought a second hand Fuji XE-1 without the AF lens.
Does anyone have any opinions on how the Fuji AF lenses handle? I like to try to get at least one AF native lens for every camera that I buy.I am wondering which may be the "best" Fuji AF lens to seek out.Thanks very much for any opinions/thoughts given. _________________ Moira, Moderator

Hi Moira,
Congratulations!
Without a doubt the best XF lens to get would be the 35mm f1.4.
I have this camera body and lens combo and works superbly in all respect.
See example this independent review:

OK...I have an X-E1, X-E2 and X-T1 at the mo
18/2 - Superb all rounder - small, fast aperture and sharp from wide open
23/1.4 - Fast to focus, very sharp across the frame at infinity but heavy - bit mis-matched to X-E series
27/2.8 - Another great one - small, very sharp across the frame from wide open
35/1.4 - Renders stunning images, a real cracker - slower AF though (no good for tracking!)
16-50mm/3.5-5.6 - Very sharp from wide open, light, lots of distortion auto-corrected in RAW at wider focal lengths, but very useful indeed!
18-55/2.8-4 - As sharp as the 16-50mm but with slightly less distortion, an aperture ring and better build. Felt too heavy on the X-E series (to me)
50-230/4.5-6.7 - Extremely sharp throughout the range, light. Focusing isn't too quick and it extends a bit which makes it look a bit cheap! Results are excellent though.
I'm into film presets at the mo BTW

Ok you worked the mo angle very well Thanks to both of you that was more than I expected, great info and images,many thanks.Looks like I will have to do some saving to buy an AF lens, now that's something I didn't think I'd have to do.Unfiortunately I can not try the camera with any of my MF lenses as my adapters are still coming from China. _________________ Moira, Moderator

All the Fuji XF lenses are superb!
(Don't have any XC, but there is no reason why they should be worse)
Most sense making allrounder is imo the 18-55mm:
If You own a pool of MF primes, a Zoom for all day use is more useful than one more 1,4 open lens.
I'm no fan of zoom lenses, but I can't see any difference in my pictures if zoom or fixed lens.
Crop factor of the X-series fujis and my wish for extreme wides forced me to get the 10-23mm, also a strong recommendation, if You are widefreak!
As a Zeissie like me one mo' suggestion is to get one of the Touits 12,35 or 50mm macro, but they are no bargains _________________ T*homas

The Samyang 12/2 is indeed excellent, very sharp across the frame indeed
BTW I had the Zeiss Touit 32/1.8 and Fuji 35/1.4 at the same time and sold the Zeiss. The Fuji rendered better images and the Zeiss just wasn't very Zeissy! _________________ Graham - Moderator

The 1.4/35 is the only AF Fujinon that I own Mo.
It is an excellent lens but as everyone else has said - the AF is slow.
The X-E1 is my go to camera now and I use it most of the time.
Adapters are so cheap and virtually every MF lens ever made will fit it one way or t'other
I am thinking of selling the Nikon or Pentax.

No faster for sure and slower than other digital camera auto focus systems that I have used.
Sometimes it frustrates me when I think that I could have manually done it quicker.
Beautiful optics though even from 1.4

Just an update,I have been watching out for a reasonably priced 35/1.4 (that fits my budget) but sadly all are still out of my price range. I will keep looking for that lens but in the mean time.... I have managed to snare the XF 18/2 for a good price. I hope to receive it by the end of the week,you all know the nervous wait for an incoming lens...that you really want to play with
It's only my 3rd AF lens that I have bought since I have started buying lenses. _________________ Moira, Moderator
