It is frankly a little annoying
mirrorless mounts lack this coupling
distortion may not be as apparent
filter mount in front does not rotate
it must be focused manually no autofocus
retouching becomes a very
lack of a depth of field scale
find a depth of field scale here
fringing with this lens
slow down your shooting experience
very noticeable light fall-off in the corners
UMC CS is not a macro lens
no depth of field scale
lack of sharpness is once again annoying
the lens left the battlefield with a few broken bones
The lens is not weather-sealed and comes with a plastic hood
The corners are consistently worst than the centre
Sharpness becomes worse at longer focus distances
diffraction starts to take its toll on sharpness
filter thread doesn t rotate when the manual-focus ring is turned
lack of autofocus and optical stabilisation
50mm f2 is seeing a bit more diffraction at f8
very slight magenta cast compared to a Fujinon lens
purple fringing when wide open along high contrast edges
pretty poor build quality
poor lens coatings
and weird distortion patterns
Fujifilm 35mm f2 lens
