       | That 35mm f/2 is a fantastic lens. Gorgeous bokeh, great color,
       | very sharp, high contrast.

         | I shoot with an X-Pro3 as well, and the 35mm f/2 is one of my
         | favorite lenses.

         | I sold mine when I started investing in wider prime lenses - I
         | now mostly use a 23mm f/1.4 and a 56mm f/1.2 - but I should buy
         | it back. It's really the perfect lens for street photography,
         | and has a certain character that I can't really objectively
         | describe. All I can say is that I can tell immediately when a
         | photo is taken with it, compared to one taken with a similar
         | focal length but using the same camera/sensor.

         | With a 1.5 crop factor the f/2 becomes f/3.5 bokeh- and depth
         | of field-wise.

           | You can still get some very nice shallow DOF at 50mm(ish)
           | f3.5 FF equivalent

       | Great article. Pedantic point, but the 35mm lens on his APSC body
       | is equivalent to 50mm on a full frame, not APSC as the article
       | says.

         | If true as written, it would mean the sensor on the Fuji is
         | teensy.

       | Success in photography comes from figuring out what sort of story
       | you want to tell, and (obviously) getting out there and getting
       | that story on film (or digital :)
       | 
       | Equipment's just the tool, and sometimes simplifying there lets
       | the mind concentrate more on the important stuff.

       | You're really doing yourself a disservice if you're not trying
       | some of the other film simulation modes on those fuji cameras.
       | They look fantastic.

       | zooms.
