Pros: Very compact, very light and well built. Good sharpness at all apertures.

Cons: Minimum focusing distance and autofocus noise, lack of aperture ring.

Opinion: Excellent optics. Compact and lightweight, with good rate of fire (much less valid with AF-C). Excellent sharpness at all apertures. Mounted on a lightweight body (X-T20, X-T30 and X-E4) it is extremely portable and functional. The angle of view and perspective are extremely pleasant and natural. A gorgeous pancake. Among the negative notes it must be said that the aperture ring is missing (present in the new version that is also tropicalized) and the manual focus ring is not particularly pleasant.

Pros: sharpness, weight, street optics almost invisible when mounted on small bodies, type A1/M1/E1/E2

Cons: high price for this focal length, lack of hood, enters dust and hair everywhere, difficult to focus in manual, af to understand in combination with the body, brightness f 2.8, buy all filters because the thread is from 39.

Opinion: taken new, I had seen 5 used before but all full of dust and hair, it looks like a vacuum cleaner from so much dirt I saw inside, after not long even in mine there was a point of dust. then you buy the hood because they do not give it supplied and original costs expensive, should be taken at least the Polarizer if you want to make landscapes, the 39 thread is not compatible with anything else of the lenses that one already has. Look at the lens and it is just over 1 cm wide you do not understand why they did not make an F2, for the size of the glasses, the price is very high compared to the 23 F2. And at its real value, the quality is good does not disappoint, not having made exasperated backlight I can not speak of defects in this sense, as mentioned by others, same for fringing, not having taken photos to take care of particularly for exposure or other but only "tourist" photography and not even portrait set that can be the other use of this lens. In the end after using it relatively little I also thought of selling it, it did not excite me at all unlike other lenses. Not used for video.

Pros: Compactness; very low weight; ideal focal length combination between 35mm and 50mm eq (obviously it is subjective, everyone is fine with certain focal lengths); optical yield; Constant maximum aperture F2.8

Cons: Autofocus a little noisy and not lightning on x-t10 (much better on x-s10, but always makes noise); lacks diaphragm ring and tropicalization (but is forgiven costing half in the used compared to the 27mm R WR)

Opinion: Mine is made in the Philippines. The only Fujifilm fixed lens I kept. The compactness and low weight make an x-t10/20/30 a virtually pocket-sized camera. Focal length that I love for reportage. Maximum fixed aperture at f2.8 allows good shots even with not abundant light. The optical yield is very good. At full aperture, it rightly gives greater clarity to the center and isolates the subject. Closing at f4 is very homogeneous throughout the frame and improves further up to f8. It performs best on medium distances, on short distances the edges lose a little if you do not close at least at f5.6, the overall yield drops a thread to infinity, but absolutely usable for panoramas if closed at f8-f11, where the yield between center and edges is also quite homogeneous. I believe that its dedicated hood is a must to have no loss of contrast with side and front light up to about 40 degrees. It fits in a pocket, so as a bright or backup lens to take on the road is a must. I put it next to 18-55 f2.8-4. I don't care much about noisy autofocus (it's noisy if you make videos, in photography it's not like you see people turning around for noise): I don't make videos.

Pros: Compactness, lightness, solidity, focal length, price

Cons: Lack of personality, focus, lack of diaphragm ring, uncomfortable cap

Opinion: I had read excellent opinions and seen remarkable photos in the gallery, but in my case love was never taken because of a general flatness of the images I could get: tried on X-E2 and X-E3, it was my first fuji lens, but honestly as soon as I got my hands on the 18-55 I found the images I took much more interesting (and not because of the focal length, as I still shoot at very similar focal lengths in general). Also I have always had doubts about the effectiveness of focusing (perhaps due to lack of stabilization). In the end the results were rather disappointing. Resold without regrets.

Pros: excellent yield, compactness and lightness, price

Cons: lack of diaphragms ring, uncomfortable cap

Opinion: It was my first Fuji lens. It is a pity that it is the most underestimated perspective of the system and on which there are prejudices that are nothing short of unjustified. The focal length, equivalent to 40 mm, makes the lens almost a jack of all trades (street, set portraits, family photos) and can be used safely as the only lens for disengaged exits, rediscovering the pleasure of having fun photographing. The first value that catches the eye, in fact, is the compactness that makes any camera body if not pocket-sized, however transportable (with a small camera you become almost "invisible" to the eyes of others). Despite the appearances of a "toy", the yield is surprising, both in terms of sharpness (truly remarkable) and color never excessive and natural. The af is precise, even if it does not have the reactivity of lenses such as the 23mm f/2 or the 50mm f/2, and it must be said that it is slightly noisy: after all, let's not forget that it is a pancake, which forces compromises. The only flaw is the lack of the ring of the diaphragms, but you get used to it. I don't deny that if it had been f/2 it would have been perfect. Finally, which does not hurt, it can be found in the second-hand market at ridiculous prices, especially after the release of the new version. For the record, I sold it to take the 23mm f/2, convinced to make a decisive leap in quality, and then regret it and run to buy it back. I bring it together with the 18mm, to constitute a "walking" kit unsurpassed in weight and size, as well as in quality.
