Just ordered an XF35, should be here later today.... I'm really looking forward to using this, I'll share some images here and on PL when I get a chance to take it for a spin
Damn! You got me REALLY excited there for a moment - I thought you meant you'd heard something concrete about a new XF35 to replace the current model from Fuji
The original is a great lens and my personal favourite - glued to my X-Pro1 90% of the time. Post when you've got it!
There is a noticeable metallic click as the aperture blades open and close, when the shutter button is pressed and released. Is that normal?
Hmmm.... my 35 doesn't do this clicking noise.
Check the lens firmware level. I remember this as a gripe early on but I think it was addressed by updates.
No, that sounds "normal" - you won't notice it in real-world use I think. Enjoy it!
You asked for it...I call it still life with Orange peel and Nuthatch cupYep. The 35 makes a little bit of noise, which is only odd when compared to its silent siblings. First time I borrowed the 18-55 zoom, I was just as unnerved as you are, but for the opposite reason. It doesn't make ANY noise or movement when focusing, which is creepy after using the 35 a lot. I've even come to like the little "tick" when it locks on. It's like a whispery little focus confirmation tone.
NOW GO SHOOT!
