TTArtisan APS-C 23mm f/1.4

Pros: Robust, very compact, very versatile focal length, focus at 20 cm

Cons: awkward aperture ring, flare

Opinion: The versatility of this focal length, its compactness and robustness make this lens a true travel companion for any situation. I mount it more and more often on my Fuji XT-20 instead of the 18-55 zoom for my motorcycle trips and I have a lot of fun, enjoying a more reasoned approach to composition. I find that it has a good sharpness even if it suffers a bit too much from backlighting. I highly recommend it, especially to amateurs like me, not for a professional who needs speed and certainty of the result. I find the aperture ring on the outermost part of the barrel a bit uncomfortable, I often move it inadvertently by adjusting the focus. The infinity focus doesn't match the limit switch, but you have to hold it back a bit. On the other hand, the focus already at only 20 cm allows very close shots, very welcome. Rating 8.5

Zeiss Distagon T* 28mm f/2.8 (C/Y)

Pros: solidity and construction, MF precision, sharpness

Cons: just nothing

Opinion: I'm not a professional but I've been a photographer for many years and I love the quality of old-fashioned lenses. This lens, mounted on a Fuji X-T20 with the adapter ring, made me go back to the old days. The ideal focal length for all occasions, precise and consistent with the movements of the gravels, is very sharp at all openings. I couldn't get it out of the car for the pleasure of using it anymore.
