Opinion:The biggest limitation of the old 27mm was in my opinion the absence of the diaphragm ring. With this new version you finally have a complete 27mm, tropicalized and with a ring. The best advantage of this activity is in my opinion the versatility: fantastic for the street, you bring out something good even in the landscape and, more generally, in the shot set. Very very good sharpness, AF can be improved. If it drops in price, it becomes a "must have" lens!
Opinion:It is not a technical review because I am not a technician; or professional because I am not a professional. But the 27th is the lens that responds exactly to what were my needs. It is compact and I can comfortably carry the xpro 3 in my work backpack and, thus, I always have the camera with me even when I do not go out for photography or I am on a motorcycle; it is WR and together with the x pro 3 I have in fact a compact always available in all conditions; it has the diaphragm ring which is a great convenience compared to the previous version (so I have the same settings of the rings regardless of the lens); the right is clear for what is his vocation; it has a perfect angle of view for the street (and with the x pro 3 steps really unnoticed) but, in case he has no other goals with me, it is also good for some landscape or some portrait. In short, I would buy it another 1000 times! Not because it is the perfect lens but because with this 27 there is not a single time when you leave the camera at home (sure however to bring home some excellent shots in the street and more than decent shots in other areas).
Pros:Weight and compactness, optical quality. Perfect focal length for urban photography.
Cons:Occasional uncertainties in focus (but we must see the cause). Cost of the original hood.
Opinion:I bought it recently to have a lens that would allow me to put the X-T3 in my pocket. I had already owned the non-WR version (however very good), and I find the 27mm focal length ideal for photographing in the city. Moreover, the 27mm WR is a very sharp lens with minimal distortion, which replaces the 35mm or 23mm very well. The fact that it is a 2.8 is completely insignificant for me, because in my opinion more open focal lengths only make sense in portraiture. I happened to notice a bit of "hunting" in the focus, but it could depend on particular factors (subjects with reflections, Fuji focus sometimes a little hesitant) so I do not feel like attributing the problem to the lens. The only flaw is the 19.90 euros to buy the original hood, which is a ridiculous metal ring, like sink tightening ring. The real problem, however, is that once you mount the lens you don't want to replace it with anything else. Habit.
Pros:Compactness and weight, focal length, sharpness and overall rendering
Cons:AF a bit noisy indoors
Opinion:Fantastic optics: super compact, it makes e.g. a compact X-Pro 3 almost like an X100V. For the street it is the best for discretion and not giving in the eye. The equivalent 40mm focal length lends itself very well to a generalist use: from the street, to the landscape, to the set portrait ... if desired it can be used as the only travel lens for example. The WR is excellent, perhaps the diaphragm 2.8 does not lend itself much to portraits in the foreground for the difficulty of detaching a lot, but it is not designed for this purpose ... the sharpness and yield and 'excellent already' from 2.8 cmq. The only flaw is perhaps that the AF indoors and in the silence turns out to be a bit noisy (but outdoors it is not felt at all). A very recommended optics!!
Pros:Size and weight, tropicalization, good general IQ
Cons:Noisy and sometimes inaccurate AF
Opinion:I was pleasantly impressed by this 27 MKII, the addition of tropicalization and the diaphragm ring, which for me was essential on a lens were the push that convinced me to resume this goal, and although the official sources say that nothing has changed on AF and optical scheme, I have perceived slight improvements both on the IQ with a better level of central detail on the range of diaphragms from f/2.8 to f/8, and on the AF, in particular the latter is slightly more precise and rapid than the 27 MKI, it still remains very noisy, but not making videos does not bother me much. The size and weight allow us to be very light, it couples beautifully on an XE body, which in this configuration is mirrored in weight and size to the X100V, advantage of less obvious dimensions on XT and XPRO bodies, but always widely perceptible. Optics that at list price is a bit caretta but if you have the opportunity to buy it from kit it would be to be taken on the fly.
Pros:Dimensions - weight - focal (suitable for everything) - tropicalization
Cons:Yield against bad light - initial price - a little flat on American flat portraits - af noisy and often undecided
Opinion:I wanted to try this 41 mm equivalent on ff because I am looking for a whole thing to do that replaces the 23 1.4 for the too slow and undecided af. Unfortunately this 27 has a big problem against light... if you put the sun behind the subject you create a white spot one-third the size of the frame. Also the loss of contrast is very... Too bad because I had fallen in love with the size but above all with the diaphragm ring that is finally designed for photographers and not for video... dry and hard as it is right that it is (you do not risk changing diaphragm without wanting it)... The three-dimensionality in portraits with American plan is also very low... Ah who needs to know that both the optical scheme and the af are the same as the first version therefore noisy, fast but with some hunting and the lenses move outwards ... I mean, I was hoping it was love, but it was a...
