Which one to choose

Choose the Fujinon GF32-90mmT3.5 PZ OIS WR if

  • low light is the priority. At T3.5 it lets in 0.7 stops more than f/4.5–5.6 — faster shutter speeds indoors and softer backgrounds.

  • your camera body is not stabilised. Of these two, only this lens has optical stabilisation.

Choose the Fujinon GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 WR if

  • you photograph small things up close. It reaches 0.28× magnification, compared with 0.06×.
  • weight matters to you. It is 1760 g lighter, roughly 82% less to carry.

Everything above comes from published specifications. How sharp each lens is, how quickly it focuses and what its pictures look like are not in any spec sheet, so this comparison does not try to judge them.
