I saw your post. At present, I like what I have read about the 35/2.0, which I gather was a hit with you, as well. The smaller size suits my style, as well.

It is an excellent performer. My main reasons for preferring the new 2/35mm is 
the smaller size, something I appreciate a lot these days, and the weather 
sealing (keep in mind that the body I have, the XT-1, is also weather sealed).

My 1.4/35mm is for sale and I am certainly willing to match the price mentioned 
below. It is as new.

Cheers,
Nathan

Chris, I think that, for essentially $400 US either way, I would choose the new 
lens.  I am considering it.

Your zone focusing worked well, Jim.

But although Nathan is enjoying using his new acquisition (doesn’t each of us?) I 
think that you’ll find that the older XF35/1.4 is better optically.  You can also buy 
them secondhand quite cheaply.  This chap on the FujiX forum has just bought the 35/2 and 
wants to sell his 35/1.4 for $375.

The older lens is apparently slightly slower to focus, is larger and has no 
weather sealing, but it is a truly excellent performer.

A group of passengers had just arrived when they spied a tandem jump pair about 
to land.  They all stopped to look and comment.

Their plane, a Cessna turboprop, required fuel, so the fuel truck arrived in 
short order.

The attendant had to stand on tiptoes to reach the tanks, but did her usual 
professional job with the fueling.

And, as I was leaving, the locally-based Vanderbilt Medical Center LifeFlight 
helicopter left on an assignment.

My conclusion is that the new Fuji 35mm AF lens would be a welcome addition.
