Pros: Compactness, weight, opening

Cons: In my way of seeing no one

Opinion: I have been using it for more than a year, I bought it used like all the optics that I own and that I have owned. With a reasonable expense you take home a 27mm equivalent with which to really do everything. When I want to be light I bring only him, with his angle of view allows me to take street shots but also not too wide views. If I need to take a close shot, its minimum MAF allows honest close ups that can be "helped" with a crop in post production to decrease the field of view of the lens. Its max aperture of F2 allows you to detach the subject from the background without completely canceling it as a canvas would. With portraits you have to be careful not to get too close to the subject so as not to deform it, let's say that it is great for setting. Used at intermediate diaphragms it has an excellent sharpness. A F8 -F11 can be used safely for landscapes. The autofocus is good. The hood is very cool. Diameter for any filters, small, therefore economical. Having the diaphragm ring on the barrel is great. I would buy it back 100 times.

Pros: Compact, focal length, typical yield of the first fujifilm, metal hood

Cons: Noisy autofocus, no wr. Softness at the edges? It depends in which scope the lens cap is used, which cannot be removed without also removing the hood.

Opinion: It does not excel in anything and this is precisely its value. On all aspects that affect a lens, the 18 f2 is good, not bad, not the best. And in this sense it is satisfying to use it, because you will know that if something beautiful comes out of it it is for your abilities and not for the blur, for hypernitidezza etc etc. The fact that it is small and light allows you to always keep it around your neck even with a machine of the xt or xpro series. The autofocus even on old bodies (used intensively in the last few days with an xpro1) is quite fast, just noisy. I also used it for some videos on xt3 and it is also great for that, if you have the foresight to use an external microphone away from the machine (something that anyone who makes videos that want to look professional must do, otherwise I do them with the mobile and less banging).

Pros: Font, size, hood

Cons: Noisy Maf

Opinion: I tried literally all the lenses (and not just fuji)... in the end I found the final lens in the one I always snubbed and then bought last. I am very complicated about changing the lenses, this time I managed to take a vacation without ever taking off the lens. I was looking for small lenses without bringing zooms but at the same time I didn't want to change lenses too many times. This is beautiful with its vintage style, the hood is fantastic and makes effect in x-pro bodies Perfect focal length (subjective I know), af all in all fast on xpro3 even if a little noisy. Qualitatively it seems fantastic to me in the center, however a perfect lens for the street. Happy finally, maybe in the future they will make a quieter version (without increasing the size!!)

Pros: Size, font

Cons: For me nothing

Opinion: The 18 f2 and the demonstration of how useless and misleading technical reviews can be on the internet. The loss of sharpness at the edges condemned this street lens which, in size and quality, is excellent, especially when used with b/n. The beautiful metal lampshed accompanying is a notable plus compared to the cheesy plastic ones that Fuji is used to canned, but in general this lens hardly suffers from reflections at all, so you can do without it. For landscapes it is not ideal for the infamous loss of sharpness at the edges, but on the other hand it has an excellent blurry and a very interesting minimum focus distance to "cut out" details. I fell in love with it and didn't give it away even in front of an exchange equal to 35 f2. Old chicken makes good broth. It has that magic of the first goals that the new ones don't have, even with the same brightness.

Pros: Compactness, price, yield

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I had already had it two years ago, sold to try other lenses such as 16mm 2.8 and 27mm, but also standard zooms, a week ago I bought it back and this time it is forever. It will be my everyday and also travel lens, excellent optical rendering, not negligible depth for an 18mm, I will never abandon it again
