The parties of Mykonos, the Santorini sunsets… It’s VERY easy to see why Greece is an allure for many. But what do you need to pack?

Turkey Packing Guide

The country of Turkey is massive, so here is a Turkey packing guide to help with your next trip to Turkey!

In Lviv, Ukraine, the city is filled with numerous themed restaurants. However, deciding to take a cooking class is a great way to get to know a culture on a more intimate level. (And it’s something I plan on doing from here on out.)

I believe the Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR is one of the more important lens releases for the X Series in recent years for high-end users of the APS-C sensor-based Fujifilm mirrorless cameras. For years photographers have praised the XF 35mm f/1.4 R but I wonder how many of us, for a while now, deep down wished for a modern, updated, or similar lens to the XF 35mm f/1.4 R with up to date and improved specs. View fullsize The Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR shown on a Fujifilm X-Pro3. Fuji XF 33mm f/1.4 R WR review. The Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR shown on the Fujifilm X-Pro3 Having used the XF 35mm f/1.4 R since its introduction in 2012 this focal length range has become a favorite of mine. At 35mm APS-C, we are actually at 53mm in full-frame terms and until now Fujifilm has not had a 50mm full-frame equivalent lens. The XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR solves this equation and gives you a standard lens at a 50mm full-frame equivalent. Why Is the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR Important? Having a high-performing marquee lens at this standard focal length instills confidence in the Fujifilm X Series as a whole. At times pro photographers and demanding enthusiasts who have chosen the X Series will check over the fence to see if the grass is greener in ‘full-frame camera country’ and the overall competition is fierce. As the number of options increase and Fujifilm creates lenses that give us fewer excuses to jump ship the better we are off in the Fuji camp. Let’s see if the Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR lives up to expectations? View fullsize The Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR and included lens hood shown on a Fujifilm X-Pro3. Fuji XF 33mm f/1.4 R WR review. The Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR with the included lens hood shown on the Fujifilm X-Pro3 Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR - Introduction Initially, Fujifilm set out to produce an XF 33mm f/1 lens but the plan was ditched and the f/1 lens became an XF 50mm f/1 R WR instead. The prototypes of an XF 33mm f/1 apparently became unpractically big, heavy, and cumbersome. Instead, Fujifilm released the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR in September of 2021 and the lens became widely available in November. The XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR joins a crowded field in this focal length range which counts lenses such as the XF 35mm f/2 R WR, XC 35mm f/2, and XF 35mm f/1.4 R and several third party options. The Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR currently retails for $799.00. View fullsize Downtown, Vancouver, Fujifilm X-Pro3, XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR @ f/1.4 Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR - Handling and Specs Fujifilm has continued the design trend from the recently released Fujifilm XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR and had it not been for the differently shaped lens hood they look almost identical.

SUBSCRIBE By subscribing, I consent to receiving emails. The XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR is, however, a bit smaller with its 58mm filter size vs. 62mm for the XF 18mm, and with a weight of 12.7 oz / 360 g, and dimensions of 2.6 x 2.9" / 67 x 73.5 mm it feels denser than the XF 18mm f/1.4. The XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR balances excellently on the X-Pro3 although you may lose some of the stealthy looks you would get were you to pair the X-Pro3 with the XF 35mm f/2 R WR or XF 35mm f/1.4 R. I do not find the added weight bothersome but taking the larger lens hood of XF 33mm f/1.4 into account there is a noticeable visible and weight difference. View fullsize The weather-resistant Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR and included lens hood shown on a Fujifilm X-Pro3. Fuji XF 33mm f/1.4 R WR review. The Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR and included lens hood shown on the Fujifilm X-Pro3. It is nice to know that this camera/lens combination is weather-resistant, WR. The XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR has 15 elements in 10 groups, (two aspherical, and three ED elements), 9 rounded diaphragm blades, and a minimum focusing distance of 11.8" / 30 cm. The aperture ring is nice and wide, feels just about perfect with the right amount of friction, and is not easily bumped out of position inadvertently. Overall the lens feels terrific and is a solid piece of kit. With its medium size, you may prefer the XF 33mm f/1.4 on larger cameras such as the X-Pro, X-H, and X-T series cameras but I do not think it would completely dwarf a Fujifilm X-T30 II, Fujifilm X-S10, or Fujifilm X-E4 either.

Sample image from a Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR Granville Island, Vancouver, Fujifilm X-Pro3, XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR @ f/1.4 The XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR has a linear autofocus motor, LM, which provides fast and silent autofocus and with its internal focus, the lens does not protrude when focused, which is something I find very slick and I really appreciate this feature in a lens. Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR in Action I am usually not too concerned if a lens is weather-sealed or not but with the kind of rain we are getting in Vancouver this fall I am starting to feel differently about this. In the pouring rain, I went for a long walk over the weekend and while I covered the camera and lens for periods of time with my arm I did not carry an umbrella and nor was I worried about using my gear as I know both X-Pro3 and the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR both are weather-resistant. I tried using eye-tracking autofocus during a family gathering and while it is better with the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR it is still not great in a dimly lit living room setting and it seems Fujifilm still has some work to do in this department. View fullsize A woman works in a downtown Vancouver office. Sample image from a Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR Vancouver, Fujifilm X-Pro3, XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR @ f/1.4 For other scenarios and in general, I found the autofocus speed sufficiently fast and silent for my style of shooting, which usually is in the one-shot mode for either street photography or static topics. I have little doubt that the lens will handle tracking just fine. I will get back with an update on this once I have had a chance to try it out for tracking. On the topic of focal length, the 2mm difference from the XF 35mm f/1.4 R should be almost irrelevant but you notice it right away and the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR yields slightly wider images. It will, of course, be a matter of individual style and taste but I welcome the wider perspective as it appears to render a slightly more true-to-life look without any telephoto compression. The difference is not monumental but worth mentioning. View fullsize Robson Square, Vancouver, Fujifilm X-Pro3, XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR @ f/1.4 Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR - Image Quality It is early in the game with the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR but I do have a few observations I would like to share. Bokeh, realism, and sharpness are areas in which I find the lens excels so far. When it comes to bokeh, it is quite pleasing and it renders nicely at a variety of distances, not just for close to medium range. It leads into my second keyword, realism. The transition of the bokeh on the depth of field range is very smooth and it makes the whole image appear more realistic and pleasing with fewer distractions. In the second image below the bokeh is slightly nervous-looking (bottom far distance) but it is better than most lenses I have tried for APS-C. Sharpness is great, corner to corner, and do not be afraid to shoot the XF 33mm f/1.4 wide open.

Truth be told I do not mind a bit of vignetting as it can add emphasis to your focal point. In the two examples below you will see the first photo at f/1.4 and the second at f/8. Notice also some flaring especially at f/8 when shooting almost straight into the morning sun. View fullsize A boat is washed up on shore during a windstorm in Vancouver.

The photo demonstrates vignetting from the Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR at f/8 Sunset Beach, Vancouver, Fujifilm X-Pro3, XF 33mm f/1.4 R WR @ f/8 Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 vs. XF 35mm f/1.4 I contemplated writing this article as if the XF 35mm f/1.4 R did not exist as I wanted to view the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR in its own right, but the XF 35mm f/1.4 R is impossible to ignore as it has been an excellent staple lens for many photographers for years. Nor is the XF 35mm f/1.4 R about to disappear. Fujifilm is still selling it. The two lenses make for an interesting comparison and it is my intent to elaborate further on this topic in an upcoming head-to-head post. At $599.00 for the XF 35mm f/1.4 R, you only save $200.00 compared to the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR if buying new. I say only, as I find the value proposition better for the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR considering it adds a more advanced optical formula, weather-sealing, the linear motor for fast and silent autofocus, and arguably has better image quality depending on your preference. View fullsize Size comparison, Fujifilm XF 35mm f/1.4 R vs. XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR Size comparison, Fujifilm XF 35mm f/1.4 R vs. XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR The XF 35mm f/1.4 R has been on the market for a long time, meaning it would be much easier to find a used copy. If you are okay buying used the value proposition changes entirely. I will be the first to admit having a love affair with the XF 35mm f/1.4 R and the sudden appearance of a younger model shouldn’t really change that. Or should it? Luckily we are talking about inanimate objects and you should not feel disloyal if your eye strays in the direction of the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR. I see this new lens as “more of something good”. It excels in several ways in comparison. Picking between the two will come down to budget, size/weight preference, and finding out from which of the two you prefer the image quality.

It is my plan to keep both, at least for a while. I have only had the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR for about a week but if I had to pick one of the two for a trip around the world, and only had a split second to make a decision, I think I would pick the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR. I suspect the deciding factor when using the XF 35mm f/1.4 R from here onward will be size and weight driven and I know I will still be getting great image quality with this lens.

Downtown, Vancouver, Fujifilm X-Pro3, XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR @ f/5 If however the ultimate image quality and user experience is the priority the choice would be the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR. Fujifilm has already announced that 2022 will be the year where we will see higher megapixel sensors in the X Series and 40 megapixels seems to be the number that is floating around. They also say that lenses such as the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR, XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR, and XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR will be ready to resolve these higher megapixel sensors. I am excited to see what this combination of new sensors and new lenses will amount to. It is, of course, too early to say but something to look forward to, especially if we will also see a new XF 56mm f/1.2 R LM WR in 2022 as expected. View fullsize The Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR shown on a Fujifilm X-Pro3 The Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR shown on the Fujifilm X-Pro3 As a reviewer, it is no secret that I am one of those photographers looking over the fence at the full-frame camera market and I am also paying close attention to Fujifilm’s GFX Series, and at times contemplating both platforms in addition to my trio of X-Pro cameras. I mentioned the importance to me that Fujifilm is releasing new lenses such as the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR and replacing older lenses such as the XF 23mm f/1.4 R. These are my two most used focal lengths and having top notch glass is paramount. The XF 35mm f/1.4 R was the lens that got me into the X Series in the first place and a lens such as the XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR along with the promise of more high-quality lenses to come may result in me keeping the X Series as my main platform for the foreseeable future. Please see the sample images below. Editing was done in Capture One and I have used Fujifilm's film simulations for some of the photos.
