Pros: Amazing yield for a pancake

Cons: Nothing if you know what you're buying.

Opinion: I had the 27mm in both models and I have always appreciated the convenience of a small lens to carry with me every day on the xt 30 II, even if that focal length has never been entirely congenial to me. Comparing it with the other fixed cameras in my possession (16 f/2.8, 23 f/2, 35 f/2 and 50 f/2) I have always noticed an overall lower performance, although not by much. As soon as this 23 mm came out I bought it immediately also because it is the focal length I prefer. The construction is excellent and conveys a nice feeling of solidity despite the really compact size. Focusing speed has surprisingly improved and, while its f2/0 sibling is perhaps still slightly quicker in low light, this one remarkably surpasses it in terms of sharpness. The focusing noise compared to the 27mm is much decreased, it is still slightly perceived, but if you don't make videos it is absolutely not annoying. The blur is very pleasant bearing in mind that we are talking about a pancake. The lens hood is rather ugly ugly, the same as the 27 (which mine had supplied). Having to choose between this pancake and the 23 f/2, the only real point in favor of the latter is, in my opinion, the extra stop. Those who have to work in low light conditions will probably not consider either and will go for the 23 f1.4!

Pros: Ultra compact, very sharp, versatile, well made, aperture ring with modulated resistance in the intermediate areas, minimum focusing distance

Cons: Price out of kit, plastic lens hood, af not of the latest generation

Opinion: As soon as I found a kit copy I bought it, selling the 27 which for my taste was a bit narrow as an angle of view. I was favorably impressed by the quality of the performance that seems to me better than the 23/2 I tried in the past and, having also the 23/1.4 old and knowing the 23/2 of the x100, it seems to me that this new pancake does a really good job. Small fall of side light at full aperture that tends to disappear by diaphragm. Full backlight well tolerated with little and pleasant diffusion but with contrast maintained. Beautiful color rendering in line with xf production. A gem: the friction of the diaphragms diversifies the resistance in the transition from full diaphragms to fractions, so already to the touch you can understand which diaphragm has been chosen, a mechanical finesse that I appreciated. The focus, given the size, is a bit noisy like the 27 with an af that is not of the latest generation (small and silent motors do not exist). The lens hood is supplied (the 27 did not have one), it is a kind of perforated cap turned inside out in plastic. If you use the lens hood, you cannot use the spring cap, but a pressure cap, supplied with the lens, but at least it does not take up space. In short, I am very satisfied with this lens that will probably almost always be mounted on my xt4.
