Add a powerful prime lens to your mirrorless X-series camera with this Fujifilm XF 35mm f/2 R WR lens. A wide aperture allows you to take flawless shots even in lower light conditions, and the fast autofocus motor means you'll never miss a shot. The Nano-GI coating on this Fujifilm XF 35mm f/2 R WR lens reduces ghosting and flare.

Great weather proof "nifty fifty"

I'm using this on an X-Pro2 and it's really surprising what it does for the price. I've also owned the 35mm f/1.4 but there's a difference between them that goes beyond the widest aperture. Neither one is objectively superior and they have different qualities.
For what I do I think I like the general rendering of this f/2 aperture version better. In addition, it's faster focusing, way quieter and less "clunky" in operation.
It's sharp, versatile and built well. For what you pay, you get an excellent standard prime. If you're a wide-open bokeh purist the more expensive f/1.4 is better, but the f/2 version is perhaps a better lens overall when you consider every aspect -- at least for me.
The image I'm posting was made with this lens -- it's post processed for the look but I think the high quality of the source image from this lens is still apparent.

Good value, consistent color, very thin bezel.

I bought these for gaming but I wanted IPS for photo editing. I have three of these on an Nvidia GTX1070 in a multi-monitor "surround" setup. These monitors have an exceptionally thin bezel which is great when you put them right up against one another.
I have a Spyder 3 color calibrator and these monitors after warmup were all pretty close and only required a little trimming. The three I got look pretty good next to each other even without calibration. They have plenty of brightness also but they do have a slight amount of "vignetting" on the left and right edges though nothing terrible.
The main downside I can see is a little bit of light leakage through the panel at black level. Blacks are not truly black so if you use these for editing you have to get your head tuned for that but again it's not an issue for me.
So, not a perfect monitor, but a very high quality one for the price (got them on sale) and the extremely narrow bezels (less than a 1/4 inch) make them great for a surround gaming setup.

Very nice image, wide viewing angle, good price.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm an automation programmer and use this as a second monitor at job sites where I use my laptop. It's inexpensive but the image quality is very good and viewing angle is wide as you'd expect from an IPS monitor. Color fidelity is less stellar, but for this price point it's excellent for a utility monitor.
So far, despite riding around with me, it's working great. Only limitation I can think of is connectivity: it only has DVI and VGA connectors -- it has no HDMI or Display Port.

Good solid DDR3 choice

I'm running an i7-3770K on an ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 motherboard. The mobo can go beyond 1866mhz but this RAM is so cost effective I've now purchased 32 gig of it to fill out my system for video editing and other memory intensive stuff. I'm running the i7-3770K at 4.5 ghz so maybe 2133 memory would be even better but I'm satisfied with this. For what this RAM is selling for, it's a high-value package.

Surprisingly good.

Keeps my i7-3770K just over 70 C or below when overclocked at 4.5 ghz. A full gig of OC and reasonable temps and not noisy at all. For a small packaged system I'm impressed. Nothing special to look at but I'm not a bling builder. Keeps the heat out of my case which helps my air-cooled GPU. Very pleased.

Hi, is this compatible for xm1?

Yes it is. Of course, you won't be "weather proof" with the lens on an X-M1 but it's a nice light combination.

I recommend you update your X-M1 to the latest firmware (v1.4 released earlier this year) if you haven't.

I have this lens and it's great.

Is there glare?

There can be -- it's a glossy screen with an anti-reflective coating. The best I can tell you is there is more potential for it than a matte screen, but less than a full-on glossy screen. Proper placement of your lighting is the key if you can control that.

If you have like a bright window right behind you or something I think that would be an issue for example. Setting up your work area if you can do that you should try to make sure you can't see a reflection of any bright areas in the monitor.

Is it height changeable?

Some of Dell mornitors can be height changeable. Please let me know about this model.
No, these are fixed height.

Is the screen glossy?

Is the screen on this monitor glossy or matte?
It's "kind of glossy". It's a glossy screen with an anti-glare coating so it's somewhere between matte and glossy but closer to glossy. It does fingerprint so it's good it's not a touchscreen but they are very clear monitors.

Will this product work fine without the USB connection? just connecting it to the CPU fan connection and it will be ok? Also is the usb connection just a regular USB2.0 connector on the mobo?

Just set one of these up and it's fine without the USB. You can't see the speeds, but you can still control it. Also if the RGB LED in the head matters to you you'll need the USB and the CorsairLink software to change colors.
