Just purchased the 35mm f2 WR did I make a mistake?

On the the XTrans-4 cameras there is also: "Focus ring operation: Non-linear or Linear."The one thing that I did notice right away, which I will need to get use to is the rings are reversed compared to my legacy lenses with the aperture ring near the camera and the focus ring at the front."He is referring to the position of the focus and aperture rings, not the rotation direction.

Thanks.  I misread the sentence.

I came to the Fuji system to be able to have a small, everyday kit I can take with me everywhere. To slow down and to frame my shots, to manual focus and to change my settings with real physical dials. To shoot street, portrait, reportage and travel photography. I adopted some legacy lenses via a speed-booster and have been very happy using them. But the idea of having a very small lens like the 35 f2 has always interested me. So I ordered the 35mm f2 WR as my walk around lens. But started to have second thoughts as I mostly use manual focus. And non of the reviews of this lens ever mention what it’s like to manually focus with it. Has anyone tried this lens against the Fuji 35 f1.4 in manual focus and could tell me which they prefer please?I know I could get one of the cheap Chinese manual focus only lenses. But from what I’ve read, non of them have the IQ of the Fuji lenses and the aperture rings are always de-clicked.No

Yes I found the Focus ring option and have changed it to rotate like my legacy lenses do. Unfortunately the X-Pro 2 doesn't have the Linear MF option.Not sure why Fuji didn't add this in a FW update. Does it really require a much faster processor, or do they want us to upgrade our cameras for such a function.I know with Canon EOS R/R5?R6 you have the option to choose how sensitive the MF ring is on the new RF lenses which are also focus-by-wire.
