I prefer the 35/1,4 because the 23/1,4 shows small vignetting.
The 35 mm is much more cheaper than the 35 mm.
Today I got my Fuji X-T1. The autofocus is more precise and the basic sharpness is better as the X-E2. The viewfinder is very very good the finest I have ever seen.

Hi Werner
I'm not sure if I'm just being obtuse, but how do you attach the camera lens to the ATX Eyepiece Modul (Okular Modul) - do you remove the eyecup (Augenmuschel).
I would like to try this, but don't want to damage any parts.
Thanks, P

Werner,
Please excuse my ignorance but in your original post you state that you use the camera's autofocus primarily. I am just getting into digiscoping and unfortunately my spotting scope is in a location I won't have access to until later this spring, so no pictures yet. When you take pictures with your set-up, how important is it to have the spotting scopes focus spot on prior to using the cameras autofocus? I realize this may all become obvious when I have my camera and scope married together as you do, but right now I am trying to better understand how things work so that when I can use the scope I know better what to expect. Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Hello Frank,
of course it is important! The focus spot must set exactly so the camera focus works correct and quick.
Therefore the excellent viewfinder of the Fuji is very helpful in 100% preview!
If you would like to make pictures on longer distance I would recommend you to take a compact camera like the Sony RX 100 MKII. But on distance approx. up to 50 meters I would recommend the Fuji.

Werner,
Interesting to hear you say that. My digiscoping will be primarily larger birds of prey such as eagles and osprey at relatively longer distances and larger mammals such as grizzly and black bears, mountain goats and bighorn sheep, again at longer distances. Can you comment on why you favor the one camera over the other. Thanks,
Frank

With the compact Sony you have a better zoom as with the 35 mm on the Fuji.
You will get a better (lower) Iso as the Fuji i.e. you will get a shorter exposure time. The Sony has an optical stabilizer in the cam.
That´s the main reasons.

Wow excellent shots!
Sorry but what type of adapter you have to connect the eyepiece and lens?

Thanks!
There is no adapter needed. The thread of the objective (52 mm) is the same as the thread of the scope (without the scope cap).
Have a look at the foto. Hope you understand what I mean.

Thanks a lot! I understand now hahaha

The Fuji 23 mm lens has 62 mm diameter. You need a step down ring from 62 to 52 mm.

Werner,
Are any of the pictures you have posted taken with the X-T1. Would love hear your thoughts on image quality as compared to your original Fuji. I assume the sensors are the same. Seems I saw somewhere where someone thought there was still a difference in image quality between the two cameras.

Werner,
Just saw you posted on the Panosonic thread and wasn't sure if you had seen my follow-up question. Just wondering how the new Fuji compares to the older one picture quality wise/ Thanks again for any assistance you may offer. Your pictures continue to impress!

Sorry!
The new Fuji X-T1 has a better and faster autofocus. You can feel that.
The display and the viewfinder are more precise.:t:
I work only with the manual focus.
Quality is the same as the X-E2.
Handling is better and faster with the X-E2. Not all improvements are better!
Attached some photos with the X-T1.
