Opinion:On Canon I used the pancake for years 24 2.8... on Fuji I tried this 27. What can I say? Very comfortable focal, it allows everything, although not my favorite. The really indisputable merit is that used with a mirrorless x-e pheasant, it carries around in your pocket without problems even for daily walks. The yield seems pretty good to me, despite the fact that the lens looks like a toy. Well made, compact but "substantial". Fast and precise focus (I use it on X-E3), good sharpness as well as color rendering. I mean... has all the cards in order to be mounted on the machine and stay there firmly. On the used market there are specimens at attractive prices, especially since the new version came out. I would like to recommend it, also because it brings the photographic approach back to its essence, like any fixed lens, with the careful choice of shots. The focal point allows us to do everything.
Opinion:Lens to have in place. It is one of the few lenses that really allows you to carry the camera in your pocket in the truest sense of the word. This without sacrificing quality, with a very versatile focal point in my opinion, which adapts to many different situations. Surprised by the high sharpness. Honest autofocus, discreetly fast. Not very bright but still sufficient opening in many situations. Finally, it can be purchased at a price that I think is honest.
Opinion:SUMMING UP: NEGATIVE. Bought several years ago because I had great ambitions towards compact and prime XF quality Fuji targetss, after mouthing my mouth with 18mm. Unfortunately for me (and not only, according to some Flickr contacts) it was a total failure. You can take it with you every day: compact, light, minimalistic. Very sharp after f/5 if I'm not mistaken, but VERY sharp towards f/7-8. And unfortunately with the merits we are done. Focal for me very difficult to use. In street photography where things happen to your face, with an equivalent 41mm you are always 2 steps forward or backward to frame the situation (unless it is a close-up) if your name is not Cartier Bresson. Very low focusing zone to openings that allow clarity. Few say it expressly but many have tried it on the skin and / or think so (if you notice, almost always photograph static situations and / or stationary objects, no action)... the second-hand market speaks for itself: you lose almost 50% of the value if you bought it new at the time. Slow from which to stay away in my opinion. If you want a pancake take the 16 or 18mm. If you want a less wide focal, the 23mm f2. Sold because it's been standing still for years.
Opinion:Useful lens to make the machine pocket-sized, it has a nice sharpness, but the merits end here. The optical quality of the pancake lens is all felt if you go beyond the contrast applied by the machine. As a pocket lens I preferred the 18 f2, for me another level for quality (more character), focal (I never got used to the POV of the 27), autofocus (slow, noisy and inaccurate in the case of the 27), diaphragm ring. Sold without regret.
Opinion:Bought to use with Fuji XA1, I made the compact camera to carry always, especially when, daily, I hike in the Mountain and the weight is very important. I also own the Fuji XT2 with 18 135, and now I reserve it for static reportage. It does not take many words to describe this goal: very clear, light, addictive, I do not experience problems or discomforts due to the lack of the diaphragms ring.
