Pros: Size, aesthetics, optical quality, color rendering, bokeh

Cons: Old-fashioned, non-tropicalized autofocus

Opinion: Having clarified that I don't photograph to eat, this lens for me is simply perfect From the aesthetics on any XT body, to the color rendering, to the sharpness, to the blur. For those who love to use the equivalent of the 35mm, shooting without haste, this is THE lens. Taken used, alas it still keeps the price after 13 years ... there must be a reason. I tried the new model (WR) for a few days, the spark did not go off due to a rendering that was too "perfect", too "clinical", it was a no, thanks. The sharpness in the center is to die for already at f/1.4, it perfects the edges by closing, but the rendering and character of the edges and the blur up to f/2.8 give that aesthetic sense to the photos that made me fond of this lens. The autofocus is perceptible, although much less than in the 35 f/1.4. It's fast enough not to lose a smile or a grimace, but there's better for tracking. It never represents a problem, for those who know how to photograph. It doesn't have tropicalization, too bad, nevertheless I've never had problems with dust either inside the lens or on the sensor. For me this 23 is a 10.

Pros: Excellent lens with little distortion, compact and very bright

Cons: Aperture ring moves easily

Opinion: It's my "must" lens for evening situations... but also in moments when you already know that there will be little light. In this it is unparalleled. Then it is about a 35 equivalent which is my favorite focal length and therefore even in daily use it is more than perfect when doing reportage or travel photos. Of course, during the day I prefer to attack the 16-80, but as soon as evening falls, this wins and I prefer it. The quality is indisputable. Regarding the ring, unfortunately sometimes I found it moved from A and the values start from f/16 making me find myself with some unexpected dark shots. Just be careful. It is certainly the only Fuji lens with such a soft ring. It's the only thing I would improve. For the rest, it wasn't water resistant, I knew.

Pros: Very good optical performance

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Absurd sharpness, bright and beautiful to look at. Optically very correct, it has no distortions and therefore you can turn off the correction in the room in order to make the most of the sharpness. Now welded to the xpro 2 it forms a scary kit. You can use it in a simple way and it has always been satisfying, especially indoors where an open diaphragm allows low iso. Outdoors for landscape, the manual focus ring with stops for hyperfocal and infinity is very convenient. Unlike the others, I like the lens hood and it repairs well. Too bad for lack of wr but I also have the 16 80 and at the beach or rally I use that. I find autofocus very usable and it doesn't mess up even in the dark, maybe a bit slow but reliable. I'm satisfied

Pros: construction, compactness

Cons: hood, manual focus ring, slow and noisy af, no wr, low sharpness on 40mx, slow diaphragm ring

Opinion: Purchased and resold. The lens is well built, has an excellent three-dimensionality, turns out to be compact, the focus although slow and noisy for static or not very dynamic shots turns out to be reliable, while in continuous focus it is too slow. The focus ring with manual af unlock I found it really uncomfortable, I much prefer the free ring as on the 35mm 1.4 R, this would have allowed you to focus automatically but at the same time activate A + M, necessary to correct where the camera was wrong fire. Another thing that I did not like, the diaphragm ring too soft, it was enough to touch it to move it as well as there is no block on A. The optics are not tropicalized and during demanding trips it could bring dust to the sensor. Original horrendous hood and replaced with the JJC all-aluminum. For portraits set the optics is beautiful, but if you shoot at medium and long distances unfortunately loses RESOLUTION on camera bodies with 40mpx, in substance increases the diffraction and you find yourself having unclear photos even at closed apertures, this problem is noticed more on microdetail for example as mountain landscapes, agglomeration of houses etc., in order to solve it is necessary to increase the sharpness in post production and then during export reduce the entire image to 24/26mpx. In short, it is a dated product, now out of production and personally I would not recommend it to those who have an XT5 or XH2.

Pros: Construction, compactness, image stamp

Cons: BACK FOCUS!!!

Opinion: Purchased and then resold. Used only half a day... I couldn't believe my eyes! I thought that problems like the Back focus on mirrorless system were just a memory... But I was wrong. The lens itself would be superb, a bit soft at 1.4 but for me it was not a problem, indeed, I am not a fun of absolute sharpness. The backfocus I found though was excessive. A problem that already occurs at short distances, in a reduced way, and then increases at long distances. The beauty is that we don't talk about it... or we don't talk about it enough. I had to dig well on the net before I came across a topic on Dp review where several complained about this defect (a guy had come to change 5 copies). Magnificent lens if it works, but the purchase is a lottery, strange really that in the various video tests on youtube no one talks about it ...
