The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on October 04, 2021 Pros: compact, lightweight, sharp Cons: nobody Opinion: Copied first to my X-E1, and now to the x-E3 that replaced it, it has made these two bodies of the "compact" pocket of all respect. Purchased in the silver version, on the X-E3 limited it is really aesthetically perfect, thanks also to the dedicated silver hood that I found on the net. Excellent all-rounder, from the street to the landscape. In the center it is always very sharp, even at f2.8, but to also have the edges, you have to close at f5.6, which is also the maximum yield aperture. Free of chromatic aberration, vignetting and distortion (automatic correction by the camera software, if set). |
 | sent on March 26, 2021 Pros: Size, optical yield, construction quality Cons: lack of diaphragm ring. Opinion: On Canon I used the pancake for years 24 2.8... on Fuji I tried this 27. What can I say? Very comfortable focal, it allows everything, although not my favorite. The really indisputable merit is that used with a mirrorless x-e pheasant, it carries around in your pocket without problems even for daily walks. The yield seems pretty good to me, despite the fact that the lens looks like a toy. Well made, compact but "substantial". Fast and precise focus (I use it on X-E3), good sharpness as well as color rendering. I mean... has all the cards in order to be mounted on the machine and stay there firmly. On the used market there are specimens at attractive prices, especially since the new version came out. I would like to recommend it, also because it brings the photographic approach back to its essence, like any fixed lens, with the careful choice of shots. The focal point allows us to do everything. |
 | sent on March 05, 2021 Pros: Size, Sharpness, overall yield, price Cons: Lack of diaphragm ring Opinion: Lens to have in place. It is one of the few lenses that really allows you to carry the camera in your pocket in the truest sense of the word. This without sacrificing quality, with a very versatile focal point in my opinion, which adapts to many different situations. Surprised by the high sharpness. Honest autofocus, discreetly fast. Not very bright but still sufficient opening in many situations. Finally, it can be purchased at a price that I think is honest. |
 | sent on February 17, 2021 Pros: Compact, lightweight, solid construction Cons: focus, focal Opinion: SUMMING UP: NEGATIVE. Bought several years ago because I had great ambitions towards compact and prime XF quality Fuji targetss, after mouthing my mouth with 18mm. Unfortunately for me (and not only, according to some Flickr contacts) it was a total failure. You can take it with you every day: compact, light, minimalistic. Very sharp after f/5 if I'm not mistaken, but VERY sharp towards f/7-8. And unfortunately with the merits we are done. Focal for me very difficult to use. In street photography where things happen to your face, with an equivalent 41mm you are always 2 steps forward or backward to frame the situation (unless it is a close-up) if your name is not Cartier Bresson. Very low focusing zone to openings that allow clarity. Few say it expressly but many have tried it on the skin and / or think so (if you notice, almost always photograph static situations and / or stationary objects, no action)... the second-hand market speaks for itself: you lose almost 50% of the value if you bought it new at the time. Slow from which to stay away in my opinion. If you want a pancake take the 16 or 18mm. If you want a less wide focal, the 23mm f2. Sold because it's been standing still for years. |
 | sent on December 07, 2020 Pros: Small, light, crisp Cons: Optical quality, autofocus, focal Opinion: Useful lens to make the machine pocket-sized, it has a nice sharpness, but the merits end here. The optical quality of the pancake lens is all felt if you go beyond the contrast applied by the machine. As a pocket lens I preferred the 18 f2, for me another level for quality (more character), focal (I never got used to the POV of the 27), autofocus (slow, noisy and inaccurate in the case of the 27), diaphragm ring. Sold without regret. |
 | sent on September 23, 2020 Pros: Sharp, light "universal" focal Cons: I don't know Opinion: Bought to use with Fuji XA1, I made the compact camera to carry always, especially when, daily, I hike in the Mountain and the weight is very important. I also own the Fuji XT2 with 18 135, and now I reserve it for static reportage. It does not take many words to describe this goal: very clear, light, addictive, I do not experience problems or discomforts due to the lack of the diaphragms ring. |
  | sent on September 22, 2020 Pros: Small, sharp, af fast enough Cons: Not suitable for videos but you can use Opinion: I took it specially alone to Lisbon, equates to 40 mm, the look of a human, you can easily use it for portraits set, views of palaces, street. He fights the flare well and has no other problems. Excellent optics when considered the price, used is located at 160 euros, absolutely to have. Saturated colors, jacket optics, now is my walking companion |
 | sent on March 21, 2020 Pros: Small, crisp and light Cons: Lack of diaphragms and disreud and disreud Opinion: Those who buy this lens take it mainly for its compactness, it actually makes a slight noise during the focus and lacks the diaphragms' ring (problems that I consider minor), but the lightness and sharpness already at f2.8 make it perfect for photos of road and travel. The 27mm equivalent to about 41mm ff make this focal point similar to the real one by the human eye so very versatile. It has no vignette, has no distortion and behaves well in the backlight. It has good value for money. With the 27mm I carry with me daily my XT3 inside a small pouch. Good Light. |
 | sent on March 20, 2020 Pros: Low weight and optical quality Cons: Mobile front part during focus and noisy autofocus and not very fast Opinion: A rather strange, atypical lens. I found its optical quality really great, but its internal mechanics quite mediocre, the zzzz-zzzz of the focus did not like it, the manual fire has a rather annoying lag and the front lens moves back and forth without having a lampshade. However, its optical quality along with its mignon dimensions pay off. |
 | sent on February 28, 2020 Pros: Exceptional sharpness, compactness, lightness Cons: lack diaphragmmi diaphragm diaphragms Opinion: I have and have been using this lens for several years, both with Fuji Pro and X-E. It has never disappointed me and integrates together with 18/2 and 50/2 my ideal kit when I want to use a very light and easily transportable equipment. The 40mm focus I never felt sorry for and I'm completely comfortable with it. The sharpness is very high and the files have an excellent overall quality in every respect. I accompanied it with a very small but effective metal lampshade, made in Germany, Heliopan Digital E39 https://www.amazon.it/dp/B00B531C5I/?tag=pric-trck-449-21&creative=23390&creativeASIN=B00B531C5I&linkCode=df0&ascsubtag=Cj0KCQiAkePyBRCEARIsAMy5ScvCZ1Sz4R2yaHTL0m2FnX5oXjbxSHNGvz--nrXLXF39bxrKZhzErrUaAtUQEALw_wcB&th=1 Autofocus is more than decent. The only downside for me is the absence of the diaphragm diaphragm diaphragm. For the rest it is absolutely advisable as long as used cum grain salis, that is, in the knowledge that it is not very bright. |
 | sent on February 27, 2020 Pros: Sharpness, lightness, price of used Cons: F2.8 Opinion: It's the ideal companion of my XT20 when I leave the house without planning a photo shoot: I can put everything in my pocket, or purse, and I have everything I need for quality shots. The focus is a little out of the norm, but you get used to it. Great for the street and occasionally also for the landscape. I recommend it to all those who miss opportunities to take a shot because they did not want to carry bulky equipment. Unfortunately it is only F2.8, but it still remains sharp even at the maximum opening. |
 | sent on January 06, 2020 Pros: Small footprint and weight, sharpness Cons: Missing diaphragm diaphragm diaphragms Opinion: Goal pancakes taken expressly to have a very light machine/lens body paired and little clutter. Fantastic sharpness from f4 onwards, more than good to TA. I wrote in the cons that the diaphragm diaphragm diaphragm diaphragm is missing, let's say that if they had put it would have been a perfect goal, even if it would have bought in size. I used it both to make street and even some views, until now it has never disappointed me. Buy it used if you can, for 150 euros you will not regret it, and you will use it more than you think. Precise and quiet autofocus. |
 | sent on October 14, 2019 Pros: Price, lightness, comfort, sharpness. Cons: Nothing Opinion: Bought at 150 euros new. Convenient to go around the city and have fun doing street, but it's also great for views and portraits. Sometimes I came out only with this lens inserted in the X-T20, they look good in a wide pocket. What more do you want from a goal? This has everything you need, even a great sharpness. The lens attached to the camera gives an even more retro look, it looks like a compact. Definitely to recommend. |
 | sent on October 03, 2019 Pros: Size, sharpness, focal versatility Cons: If it had been f2 it would have been PERFECT Opinion: A new optics bought for less than 200 euros, surprised me by the versatility of the fixed focal. You can do everything: street photography, landscape, portraiture. Lately, during the photographic outings in the city, I always carry it in escort and, once on site, ends up being the only one I use. I think it's a very interesting purchase for any fuji user: little expense, a lot of yield. |
 | sent on September 07, 2019 Pros: Sharpness, non-existent distortion, small and light. Cons: Nobody Opinion: Great goal; I have already expressed my views on this in the headlines. For me the lack of distortion that causes the falling lines and the maximum sharpness are already all for an optics. We add the minimum weight and the minimum footprint and therefore the lens is to be considered very valid if not perfect. As for the lack of the diaphragm diaphragm diaphragm diaphragm, I did not find it great difficulty to vary the opening with the rear wheel of the camera, indeed I find it comfortable. You have to adapt, you can't get everything. The rest must be done by the photographer. |
 | sent on May 07, 2019 Pros: Size, lightness, sharpness, angle of field Cons: Lack of aperture ring, maximum opening Opinion: A real blade, very sharp (at least on 16mpx). So light and compact that it seems absent. The angle of field is very "natural", especially in those cases where you want to photograph something "as it appears and strikes us" as a whole (especially landscapes in my case), without the "pacchiane" forcing of wide angles or the excessive "focus" of normal 50mm equivalent classics. It is a lens for those who have aesthetic discipline and know how to compose well, otherwise all the photos will seem "blah" (but that is a problem of the photographer, not of this objective), not for compulsive snaps. Too bad for the lack of the aperture ring, which sometimes makes it annoying to change the aperture through the wheel of the camera body. Too bad for that f/2.8. Already an F/2 would have made it an almost universal goal, but it would have gone too far to overlap with the x100 and Fuji series did not want to step on the feet. |
 | sent on March 16, 2019 Pros: Very compact, very good price, very good definition and sharpness. Cons: Lack of aperture ring, highly scomodissimo optical cap, Opinion: Optics used both with the XT1, Xpro2 and XH1 and has behaved very well both for the compactness, does not seem to have a lens mounted as it is small, that for the very good quality especially closing already to F. 4.0. Equivalent to about a 40mm has an ideal angle for photos made between a normal 50mm and a medium wide angle 35mm. Bought a few weeks ago and gave me good satisfaction both in portraits and landscapes. The street is a perfect perspective. Too bad it was not made with the aperture ring would have been excellent managability. As for the purchase price I found it new in the store in super offer at €145 a super bargain given the price list. |
 | sent on February 22, 2019 Pros: Size, weight, sharpness Cons: Minimum focus distance Opinion: I place my opinion only after selling it in favor of the 23 F2. We read about this lens in all colors, but I can only talk about it well. In my opinion the sharpness is more than excellent and, compared to what some say, I also consider it fast in focus. Mounted on the X-T20 it made it look really compact. Point against the focus distance and consequently also the blurred, but it is not a glass designed for this. I was looking for something more versatile so I reluctantly gave it up. I hope that with the new lens I remain the desire to photograph that I had with this. Edit 27/08/2019: disappointed by the 23 f2 (which I gave up), I found an unmissable offer and bought back on the 27th. I love it |
 | sent on January 05, 2019 Pros: Image quality, size, price, AF Cons: Nobody Opinion: Optics delicious, with a lot of personality, TA works very well, F4 is a blade, really small and well built, clutter of zero, without diaphragms on the body, I find it more immediate to select them on the front wheel. I find AF a bit noisy but very fast, due to the smoothness of the optics, very close focus, since you can make portraits very tight. It has to be in a Fuji kit, because it is not a normal 50, that you often stay long, or a 35 where you can find yourself wide, maybe the 40 is a real street optics. |
 | sent on December 10, 2018 Pros: compactness, Absent distortion Cons: Imprecise and Slow MAF Opinion: I bought this lens (used) basically for the street, genre I prefer. The compactness made me throat, and actually mounted on a xt20 "transforms" the machine into something really small. Unfortunately, beyond the compactness I find no other positive elements; The MAF is slow, inaccurate, even using various focusing configurations, unfortunately many of those shots that you make for the street are practically trashing. Then I sincerely do not like the files that produces the 27... Even opening all the shadows in PP you see no result, the colors seem to me mixed... In short, let's say I'm in the process of selling it to take a 23 of which I heard about a great good. A proposed, there is another positive side namely distortion virtually nothing. |
 | sent on October 20, 2018 Pros: Lightness, portability, solidity, simplicity. Focal as the human eye. Cons: Lack focal length ring brightness limited. Opinion: Very fun lens that in good light churn out great photos. Very light and very small, perfect x a walk down the street. The focal length is equivalent to 40 ff, which is the human view. For me the ideal in some contexts. It is at very low prices. Obviously it does not replace the 23 F1. 4 but anyway to have and great choice if you can't spend it. |
 | sent on August 19, 2018 Pros: Build quality, compactness, brightness. Cons: Distortion, price, minimum focus distance. Opinion: Among the landlines of Casa Fuji I think is the least performing goal. Its strength is its compactness, combined with a Fuji XE3 does not protrudes so much making the setup light, not cumbersome, to carry always with it. Qualitatively it possesses a solid construction, there is no aperture ring and the one for the focus is very thin, but with the Fuji XE3 rarely is used the manual focus given the very high efficiency of the automatic (manages to focus Even the stars). Good sharpness especially if you close the diaphragm a bit, deforms at the edges and it is not very easy to correct in post production especially if you choose daring shooting points. The minimum focusing distance of approx. 40 cm does not allow a lot to approach the subjects (photo still life of small objects). A little pricey for what it offers. A lens that should not be underestimated and that can give unexpected satisfactions. |
 | sent on July 06, 2018 Pros: Optical quality, compactness, impression of solidity Cons: Really unmanageable cap Opinion: Honest optics on my xt10, although I have it for very little I think it is very good value for money. The pre-composition is intuitive, with a field angle very similar to the human vision, you will have no forced and unnatural perspectives bringing the eye to the viewfinder.. I do not know how much I will resist without losing the stopper, is really wanting to use the tweezers to remove it and put it:) objective, in any case, beautiful the feeling of being able to put in your pocket a qualitative system of respect.. |
| sent on May 30, 2018 Pros: compactness, quality of files, price. Cons: For now nothing Opinion: I use it by very little but I have to say that I found a high quality especially compared to the 18 that I bought and resold after a month. Excellent quality also at TA., but excels from 5.6. I do mostly Street, I come from x100s and I think with the xt20 I have got a nice couple.. I was hesitant on the focal by 41mm but frankly it doesn't differ much in 35 of the 100. I think it is a lens for those who want especially compactness, portability with a good quality. Do not compare it please at 35 1.4..... Other focal, other quality, other weight, other encumbrance. I confirm the ridiculous cap. The solution adopted for the 100 series is the best in my opinion. |
 | sent on May 18, 2018 Pros: very small size, image quality, practicality of use Cons: noisy, build quality not on top, bad cap Opinion: Bought from a few days but already quite satisfied with the quality of the images it returns. Sharpness, depth and detail that you do not expect at first impact from a lens that honestly looks a bit like a toy. The blurry is good but not excellent. Unfortunately I found an AF movement a little too noisy that you hardly get used to (I don't know if others have verified the same thing). The lack of the diaphragms' ring, on the other hand, replaced by the management by the rear washer to me sincerely does not mind at all, indeed I find it even faster and more practical. I don't think I'll ever make a habit of using the cap really of bad quality and so easy to release that every time I have to make sure two, three, four times that it's anchored well to the pre-arranged seat. A real stress. And then, sorry if I dwell too much on such a detail but it really looks like the plastic cap of a sink! The quality of Fuji optics surprises me more and more, but the accessories... let's spread a veil for now... We hope Fuji will give us a little thought to review the lampshade, the caps and other small or large plastic components. For the rest, very recommended lens especially for practicality and its portability. At the 27, my X-T20 is practically the size of a compact. And it doesn't seem like much to me. |
 | sent on April 06, 2018 Pros: Compactness, Price Cons: No aperture ring, Improved autofocus Opinion: Optical output without infamy or praise, it is only f / 2.8. Diaphragm ring is missing. Build quality in average.rnOttimo the price, especially if used.rnDa evaluate if you look for compactness and you want to have a body + lens that makes portability its strong point.rnFor all other needs, among the fixed house Fuji is better. |
 | sent on November 08, 2017 Pros: Compact, lightweight, economical Cons: File quality. Lack of diaphragm ring. Opinion: Taken used and resold immediately. For charity, does his honest work in his compactness and lightness. But nothing more. For the quality of the files, I must say that I am used to the beauty of the 35mm 1.4 (another planet) shots. So my comparison meter was pretty high compared to the real 27mm. nm rating and I only have fixed lenses, but the lack of aperture on the lens was the other reason why I gave up, without regrets, the 27mm. for those who want to travel lightly and make good shots. But I'm too much in love with the 35mm 1.4 .... too! |
 | sent on September 18, 2017 Pros: Compactness, materials and construction. Cons: MAF is not always accurate. Opinion: Bought as a Fuji X-T20 kit, it has a solid and compact object. A pancake to make good street pictures and not be "targeted". rnEasy opening is acceptable for a view of this size. Once assembled it is difficult to change it; will be for its lightness or for its 27mm (41x35mm) that allow you to capture frames with a "human" field angle. Good peripheral definition also at T / A.rnMi has been shot unplugged, perhaps for scene conditions at that instant; however, being a standard optic does not always let you put the pictures in the trash. I would recommend it to the Fujian audience and ... look not to overwhelm it into your purse ... you would find it hard to find it again; |
 | sent on September 21, 2016 Pros: Compactness, adequate brightness Cons: Arrived yesterday, I tried quickly, but I would say no .... Opinion: It was a bit 'that followed him, attracted me the fact of having a compact coupled with XT-10. So at first glance it seems a very good lens, AF is fast enough for my shots, fun to play with the wheel to adjust the iris (the barrel would certainly have undermined its peculiarities, ie the compactness). Taken on Amazon to 283, good I would say, in relation to waste. I would be highly recommended for those who want good quality photos as an alternative to the "usual" compact. I did not put among the "against" the lack of the stabilizer because this focal do not find it essential to the nature of my shots |
 | sent on March 02, 2016 Pros: Dimensions-Aesthetics-quality Cons: Unstabilized-AF absolutely unreliable, especially at the side points. Opinion: Taken used for the X-E1. First impression: I won't break it down anymore! It should be sold in kits only for the size and aesthetics it gives to the machine. It will not be the excellence of Fuji lenses but among the best for generic use. The yield is comparable to that of the 18-55 XF, brighter at the same focal, the autofocus a bit noisier and maybe some fraction of a second slower from maximum to minimum excursion. Practically the same, but less precise. The aperture ring is not there, but, being however an electric command and not mechanical, for me that is on a ring or on a wheel is the same, even better if you earn the size. By trying it out I took pictures moves, my fault, but I put among the cons the lack of stabilization. Front cap with weak joint, uncomfortable. |
 | sent on May 20, 2015 Pros: Compactness, lightness, definition, sharpness, etc. etc. Cons: overcharge the new (buy 2 pancakes canon at this price) Opinion: B, but ragazzi..potersi pocketable its mirrorless output for Sunday family, a party of children or any occasion where an SLR or a mirrorless lens protruding .. it would be cumbersome for me is priceless. The 27mm turns any mirrorless fuji in a compact! Seen in this light (pardon the pun) for me is a purchase that does not repent! But if we consider the list price of the new .. I were you I would look used! ;) |
 | sent on January 05, 2015 Pros: Compact, lightweight, good image quality Cons: feeling to have in my hands a toy, but just feeling ... Opinion: This is my first lens for fujifilm system, purchased together with the X-M1 is giving me excellent photo opportunities, are satisfied with the image quality that gives, then coupled to the X-M1 everything becomes very compact, so for outputs family I have always with me a system of excellent quality. I took also backlit para no light, without getting flare, exceptional !!! For the rest I confirm everything that has already been written before of my review. Suitable for those who want quality and firmness at the same time. |

Opinion: I 23 1.4 then also buy the 27 seemed like a c ... I wanted to take just to appease the desire to x100, then I found € 250 used as new and there are fallen. I am very satisfied, my XE1 is always with me, takes up little space and everything is in your pocket (the jacket winter) and does not affect at all the 23 who also have use when I want / need to brightness. |
 | sent on November 25, 2014 Pros: Resolution, light weight and relative portability .. Cons: For now only the lack of a small 18mm lens hood like that does so much "Leica" Opinion: ..it Was time that covavo uncomfortable with my Nikon and objectives for their size and weight. The other morning, intrigued by the positive reviews of Fuiji I went to a well-known store in Florence. The shopkeeper very helpful, made me feel a XT1 with the objective in question ..... and ... I was struck in the positive light in the first place, then for the quality of this small 27 mm. I must say I do not regret at all my expensive, heavy Nikon optics. The detail I was stunned, without loss at the edges. It seemed to be back to the early 80s at my glorious Olympus optics and bodies of the series M, still made with the metal and in spite of all read. Well they are about to buy 14, 18-55, and 6th micro along with a body XE2 alongside the XT1, and I will contribute to questre reviews as soon as I have tried ..... |
