Fujinon 35mm f/2 — a Leica screw mount lens introduced in 1954 by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. The youngest sibling of the Fujinon large-aperture L-mount trio, alongside the 100mm f/2 and 50mm f/1.2. Rangefinder-coupled. Features a 5-group, 7-element design using new glass materials, with an amber-colored coating. Distance scale in feet. Minimum focusing distance is 3.5 feet (1 meter). Filter thread size: 40.5mm. Weighs 188g (measured).
Even at maximum aperture, the center resolution is solid. From the mid-frame to the edges, there’s a soft flare that adds a gentle, moody atmosphere to the image. The bokeh can be a bit rough, but it adds to the character typical of vintage lenses. Vignetting is relatively mild, making this a user-friendly lens even when shot wide open.
There is a slight lifting of the plating near the front edge of the barrel, but otherwise, the lens shows minimal signs of use and has an overall clean appearance.
Fully overhauled in March 2025, including precise focus adjustment. The aperture and helicoid rings offer a wonderfully smooth and satisfying feel. In our experience, the Fujinon 35mm f/2 tends to exhibit back focus on many copies, but thanks to careful servicing, this particular lens now has spot-on rangefinder coupling, allowing for an enjoyable and confident shooting experience.
Test shots yielded excellent results. We invite you to check out the sample gallery.
Comes with the original front cap.
