Opinion:I have had this vision for several years and it has always given me great satisfaction. I used it mainly with X-Pro in reportage photography and dynamic street, but it has also done its duty in landscape (field where it is preferable to use 8/11 diaphragms in order to ensure a good yield at the edges). I use little af, preferring the MF whenever possible, but also in this aspect I was always satisfied. The noise of the moped is not the best, but it can be tolerated in the face of the overall quality of the photographs taken with this lens, also not too expensive (especially if purchased used).
Opinion:Excellent, it responds very well in every occasion and in every situation; astonished me. The sharpness is excellent up to the edges and the distortion is almost absent. Feeling compact and robust, excellent diaphragms' diaphragms. The lampshade is very comfortable and also beautiful to see. Definitely superior in every sense to 27 2.8
Pros:compactness, sharpness, colours, aperture ring
Cons:AF noise, too "digital" character
Opinion:Undoubtedly versatile and comfortable, practical for outputs with little space and a lot of quality. I Don't feel like saying exceptional but it does its job head-on and it comes out with full votes. Excellent colors and sharpness even at the edges of the frame (from 2.8 onwards)... Too much for me too. I Perceive in this sense that is a taste sometimes a bit artifact, too "digital", from the details a little ' contornamented, but this feature is not the first time that I hangout in some lenses Fuji. What I definitely do not like is the continuous autofocus noise that I find rather annoying and that, even this time, I had already found in 27 f2.8. Definitely promoted but not first class.
Opinion:With €300 in the used you bring home an exceptional lens. At F2 it is a soft thread for a Fuji lens, closed by one stop it affects decisively. The lens has character, has three-dimensionality, has a beautiful color rendition, I found it valid in landscaping but becomes excellent when it frames a human. It is part of the trio of Wonders (18 F2-35 F 1.4-60 macro) with which a Fuji system is worthy of being bought, with that their clean rendering that together with the 16 MPX sensor is unique. It is also tiny, a must have.
Pros:Weight, AF speed, economical, small, beautiful lens hood
Cons:Hood cap, lost on first use
Opinion:Reading the various complaints about this lens I get a strong doubt: I was lucky to find a wonderful specimen? I do everything, street, landscapes and even portraits. It is very fast in focus, used with Xe2, Xpro1 and XT2. I find that gives its best with the new 24 MP sensor, I speak of course raw files postproducted with iridient, JPG I do not consider them just, too inferior and kneaded. Obviously it has a better performance in the middle of the frame but closing at 5.6 or 8 is also great for landscapes. Over the years I have compared it several times with three different specimens of 18-55 but I have always found the 18 best, which is why I also use it for landscapes. Finally, it's cheap and very small what more could you ask for a lens?
