Pros: WR, small size, good build, good AF speed

Cons: distortion, distortion, DISTORTION, dark, dark, dark

Opinion: Have tested the lens and may eventually buy it when Fuji offers a good discount (regular price here is a RIDICULOUS EUR 400 !!!). I can say I like almost everything on this lens. BUT. This lens distortion of RAW files is HUGE - feels like a prehistoric compared to modern Canon, Nikon or Sony lenses! And compared to Fuji 1.4 own lens (which is stellar) this one is absolutely horrible. And when you let the camera correct this HUGE curvature, the corners become useless ... ;-( So, in summary, this lens is useless for landscapes but good for street and general use. I think I will buy it when I get a s/h one or when Fuji discounts it to a more realistic 250-300 EUR.

Pros: Lightness, cost, overall quality construction, AF speed, sharpness.

Cons: With APSC you have to understand that diffraction comes before F/16 in certain lenses. However, it does not affect the use.

Opinion: A best-buy from Fuji at the time cost so little that I bought it new on Amazon. I gave myself a gift, it is the perfect wide-angle lens for a number of things: focal length equivalent to the 24mm FF lends itself to interior and landscape photos, to reportage photos, to portraits set in narrow places. The maximum brightness 2.8 is a reason for considerable discord, but if you think about the size it doesn't matter to have an extra aperture that I would rarely use, otherwise I would have taken the older brother. I think the field framed is slightly more than the license plate, you can see it from the RAF. Yes, the performance worsens after f/11, but it's already a good ride, like most Fuji lenses you look the nitty-gritty, they are beautiful lenses, moreover tropicalized, perfect to take to the beach without fear of ruining it, and if it were it is a low investment to risk, I always take it with me on trips.

Pros: Compact, lightweight, very solid, price

Cons: A few too many distortions at the edges compared to the big brother 1.4

Opinion: I have been using it for a while, especially combined with the X-E4, a perfect combination for compactness and quality. Focal very fun to use in street, to keep in your pocket coupled with a 35. Obvious defects none, the optics would be worth a total of 8, but thanks to the price it deserves in my opinion the 9. I also own the 1.4, which for image quality and overall rendering is on another level, but also bulk and cost are.

Pros: Value for money - compactness -WR - yield

Cons: Some distortion

Opinion: Lens small, compact, robust, pleasant to handle. Fluid bezel . Another little gem of Fuji with a low cost. I often use it for landscapes and it never disappoints me, also used for street, but in this case I prefer the 35mm. Some small flaws, but in general I am very satisfied with this lens, especially for the cost

Pros: WR, value for money, weight and dimensions

Cons: Stuck at FW 1.0, to date it does not appear in the list of XF lenses

Opinion: Good lens, although not too bright. In my case it is coupled with a Pro-1 and it does very well, especially in the street where the weight and size of the whole make the difference. The construction looks solid but the manual focus ring is a little small and uncomfortable. The autofocus is quite fast and, at least in my specimen, precise. The WR is a plus and if you find it used it becomes really interesting. In short, a good fixed lens for use "on the fly".
