While I had this lens I tried it out on the Olympus E-M1 and took it downtown for a test run on a very murky and grey day. Not the best time to do this but I had little choice in the matter. Too many other things to do and places to be. Looking through the images that I didn't delete, they'rew actually quite sharp and contrasty. if it wasn't for the focusing issues I was having with this lens I would have been happy with it. For those that missed my posts about this lens, the problem was inconsistent and inaccurate focusing. I just couldn't trust that the lens had actually locked focus where I wanted it to focus. Sometimes it would show focus lock, but looking at the image on my monitor it was soft, blurry, or generally just out of focus. I just didn't see this when looking through the EVF, and that's the reason I sent it back for a full refund.

Justa nother pretty boring image from this combination. I just love the way this system renders the colours.

Anyone looking for a cheap relative wideish lens for the X system, this lens is really a no brainer because image quality is quite acceptable and the lens is cheap. No excuse for not owning this lens.

Last image from this combination for the time being. This is the ferry over the River Main in Frankfurt, Germany. Focus isn't the fastest on the older Fujifilm models but it's quick enough for this type of image. Focusing is also accurate, which is really important to me.

Just a few images to show what this lens is capable of. It doesn'r matter what you photograph with it, I find the images pop.

It doesn't matter which Fujifilm body you use this lens on, it's just super on all of them.

If you're looking for a great shrp lens for the Fujifilm X system, look no further than the XF 35 f1.4.

This is the last image from this combination for the moment. I suppose some of you are glad after the last few posts. On every walk my wife and myself go on I have to take at least one obligatory photo of her (she's got used to it by now) and this is the one taken with the 85 f4 Tessar. I like the rendition and the Fuji colours are very nice. I think the Olympus and Fuji cameras produce the best colour at the moment. Panasonic I've always had trouble with, Nikon is ok and I don't like Canon anymore. Hope the last few posts have been helpfull to somebody out there.

These type of images might be boring to some of you but I just couldn't help myself taking them.

I just love this type of image. The near subject is sharp and the image just melts away until the background is just a blur.
