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 ...

Pros: A certainty

Cons: May have defects

Opinion: Lens sold and bought back 3 times. The next one will be the 4th, but if it is I will go on the last similar Fuji model. This, for those who want a must spending relatively little on the used market is a lens to try absolutely and, if love will be, to keep. The focal length is perfect, basically a 35 mm, fixed lens used by the greatest photographers of the past. A school not to be missed, its use. All the technical merits can be read on the many and exhaustive reviews. I say that especially but not only in street photography is really exceptional and super fun, and with a very bearable weight as well as perfectly balanced on bodies type xt1 / xt4 etc. And don't tell me that it's analogous to the f2 series.... IT IS NOT SO! Be careful though if you buy it. Make detailed tests, especially at a minimum distance af and at the various openings, on images clearly distinguishable in detail (eg white writings on the black of the camera body or other lens) and cropped. If everything is ok, grab it on the fly!
