A good 50mm lens with a wide aperture is by far one of the most versatile a photographer can own, suitable for everything from portraiture to low-light events work and more. For Fuji shooters, there is the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR, and this great video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice.
Coming to you from Christopher Frost, this excellent video review takes a look at the Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR lens. Offering a 50mm-equivalent focal length, the XF 33mm f/1.4 comes with a variety of advanced features, including:
- Two aspherical elements and three ED elements for reduced distortion and spherical aberrations and increased sharpness

- Linear autofocus motor
- Reduced focus breathing for video work and minimum focusing distance of 11.8 inches (maximum magnification of 0.15x)
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh
- All-metal construction with dust- and moisture-resistance
- Compact size: 2.9 inches in length and 12.7 ounces (360 g)

Check out Roman Fox as he has been using it, and Jonas Rask for a review with samples. An excellent lens.
The manual focus by wire is the best I’ve ever used. I’m back to focusing manually because of this. The speed, smoothness and obviousness is outstanding. Corner sharpness impeccable. Best autofocus silence and speed I’ve used. Not a large lens, not small. Size actually a non issue.
