Size Comparisons: Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 vs XF35mmF1.4 vs XF35mmF2 vs XF23mmF1.4II vs XF23mmF1.4 vs XF23mmF2

Camerasize has added the brand new Fujionn XF33mmF1.4 R LM WR and XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR. Hence you can now compare it to the other lenses in that focal range, the legendary Fujinon XF35mmF1.4 R and the much loved XF35mmF2 R WR as well as the original XF23mmF1.4 R (which was my trusty workhorse at the wedding I shot) and the XF23mmF2 R WR.

And just FYI, in case you wonder how accurate my leaked size comparison was, check out our article here. I’d say spot on!

In any case, lots of choices for Fujifilm X shooters in this range now. And that’s always a good thing.

Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 vs XF35mmF1.4 Size Comparison [UPDATED – And WHY]

Yesterday I have shared [quote] “an approximate size comparison between the upcoming Fujinon XF33mm f/1.4 R LM WR and the glorious XF35mm f/1.4 R.”

Well, today I have to share a minor update to the original size comparison. The latest comparison can be seen above.

Now, as you can see, there is not much difference. The Fujinon XF33mmF1.4 R LM WR is sensibly bigger than the Fujinon XF35mmF1.4 R. However, in today’s size comparison, it is a tiny bit smaller than in yesterday’s mockup.

But in any case, if you desire a super fast autofocus, ultra high resolution and weather resistant lens, the XF33mm f/1.4 will be inevitably bigger than the the XF35mmF1.4.

I can hear you, why the (minor) adjustment in size today?

Well, it’s pretty simple.

I have made a couple of size comparisons taking the Fujinon XF18mmF1.4 as a base (I just changed the number “18 with “33”) and resized it in different versions. I have submitted those to sources asking which one they think could be the most accurate. I ended up with the recommendation of the mockup you can see today. However, yesterday I erroneously picked the wrong mockup. My sources noticed this, and asked me to correct it.

I apologize for that and I hope you value at least that it took me less than 24 hours to rectify my little error. ;)

And yet, it may be an error, but it doesn’t change the substance: the XF33mmF1.4 is and will be noticeably bigger than the XF35mmF1.4. Which is one of the reasons why FujiRumors always told you that this lens is NOT a replacement for the original XF35mmF1.4.

EXCLUSIVE: Fujinon XF33mm f/1.4 vs XF35mm f/1.4 Size Comparison [UPDATED]

UPDATE: Comparison has been updated. Explanation here.

Thanks to indication of our sources, we can now share an approximate size comparison between the upcoming Fujinon XF33mm f/1.4 R LM WR and the glorious XF35mm f/1.4 R.

Note that the XF33mm F1.4 you see above is not the real lens, but just a modified XF18mmF1.4 R LM WR.

What else do we know about the XF33mmF1.4 already?

Well, here is a list of specs and details shared by our sources:

At this point all we need are sample images and reviews, and those will be delivered on September 2 at 9AM New York time during the X summit .

 

Size Comparison: Fujinon XF 50mm F1.0 vs XF 56mm F1.2 vs XF 16-55mm F2.8 vs XF 33mm F1.0 vs XF 90mm F2

So, the official product images of the upcoming Fujinon XF50mmF1.0 have just been leaked here.

I thought to make a quick but accurate size comparison between the Fujinon XF 50mm F1.0 and the XF 56mm F1.2 as well as the XF 16-55mm F2.8.

What we can see, is that our previous size comparison (based on technical sketches) was totally accurate too, hence, if you want to see the size of the Fujinon XF50mmF1.0 compared to the originally planed XF33mmF1.0 and the stellar XF90mmF2, check out our previous post here.

Fujifilm X-H1 with XF 33mm f/1.0 vs Panasonic S1 with Lumix S PRO 50mm f/1.4 Size Comparison

Fujinon XF 33mm f/1.0

Today I was curious to know how the Fujifilm X-H1 with Fujinon XF33mm f/1.0 would compare in terms of size to the brand new full frame Panasonic S1 with Lumix S PRO 50mm f/1.4.

So I grabbed one of the real life pictures of the XF33mm f/1.0 I took at Photokina 2018 and made an approximate comparison.

If the final production XF 33mmF1.0 will have the same size of the mock-up I have seen at Photokina, then the Fujinon XF33mm f/1.0 will be smaller than the Lumix S PRO 50mm f/1.4.

Let’s hope it will also be cheaper, since the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 50mm f/1.4 comes with a hefty price tag.

When it comes to camera bodies, the Panasonic S1 is noticeably bigger than the Fujifilm X-T3, X-H1 and also other full frame cameras like the Sony A7III.

My guess is that the bigger body is needed for proper heat dissipation to allow 4K/60 and avoid overheating. This is probably also the reason why no Sony A7 camera currently offers 4K60p.

But despite the larger body, the Panasonic has still to do compromises in terms of 4K/60P compared for example to the Fujifilm X-T3.

  • Fujifilm X-T3: 4K/60 with only 1.18x crop without line skipping
  • Panasonic S1: 4K/60 with 1.5x crop (basically APS-C size)
  • Panasonic S1R: 4K/60 with line skipping

In our article about the several advantages of APS-C sensors over full frame, we explained how smaller sensors are faster to read out, hence generate less heat and allow for features like the blackout less EVF at 30fps continuous shooting, and, in this case, a better 4K/60 readout.

The Fujifilm X-H1 has no 4K/60, but this is a limitation that comes from the older and slower X Processor Pro.

So, every sensor size has its advantages. It’s now up to Fujifilm to fully take advantage of them. And I expect especially the Fujifilm X-H2 to raise new standards and be a clear step ahead of the competition.

Fujinon XF 33mm F1.0 vs XF 35mm F1.4 vs XF 35mm F2 – SIZE COMPARISON

Fujinon XF33mmF1.0 vs XF35mmF1.4 vs XF35mmF2

As you know, I have been to photokina 2018, and I also have delivered you the worldwide first real life images of the XF33mmF1.0, XF16mmF2.8 and XF16-80mmF4 lenses, as well as a side by side comparison of the 3 new lenses on Fuji’s roadmap.

However, I keep up getting questions about how big the XF 33mm F1.0 is, compared to its little brothers, the XF 35mm F1.4 and XF 35mm F2 WR.

So based on the images I took and what I have seen with my own eyes at the Photokina Fujifilm booth, I try to give you a visual representation of how Fuji’s 50mm equivalent trinity compares side by side mounted on a Fujifilm X-T3.

Of course this can’t be super-accurate, and I’d say it’s 85+% close to perfection. However, the Fujinon XF 33mm F1.0 will hit the market in 2020, and until there, the final size can change.

In an earlier post on FujiRumors, we launched a huge poll, asking you guys if you consider the Fujinon XF33mmF1.0 is too big for you. 7,500 people voted already, and you can check the results here.

We also launched XF33mmF1.0 feature polls in the past, that you can check out here.

And speaking of 35mm lenses…

Meike 33mm f/1.4 XF Autofocus Lens Now Available

The new Meike 33mm f/1.4 XF APS-C Prime lens is now available at BHphoot here and Meike here.

It should soon be listed also at Amazon here and Adorama here.

This is Meike’s 3rd autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount.

And yes, I know we usually say “the more, the merrier”, and I agree with that.

But this focal length is already well covered and maybe it would be a good move by third party manufacturer to offer something different and not yet covered by other brands.

And maybe even more importantly: why not offer G mount autofocus lenses?

Also promised to come for X mount are the Meike AF 16mm f/1.4 and Meike AF 23mm f/1.4.
