The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Lightweight, crisp and economical. Blurred not only at TA quality
Cons:AF still not up to par. ( Fujifilm X mount)
Opinion:The optical qualities are so favorable that they are often the lens that I mount for general use, it forces you to new perspectives by moving away and changing angle but this is also the beauty of amateur photography. Slightly cold tones enhanced in the morning and contrasting with the Fuji heat. Lightweight. The lack of an aperture ring is not a defect, just a habit.
Opinion:For me a very good lens for the portrait (if we talk about the exterior; clearly in interiors too narrow). I notice a slightly different color rendering of the complexion from the Olympus lenses I usually use, but I don't mind. With MFT the blur is pleasant, "natural", not too extreme. In certain light conditions there is a certain chromatic aberration, the "classic" purple which, however, is easily corrected in post production. However, for me a lens to try and buy, possibly evaluating the price of 'used, often ridiculous.
Opinion:I confess that I still used it little, reserving it for the portrait. I took some shots in alleys and villages and I noticed a significant distortion: the contours of the buildings were barrel ... I did a test shot at the railing of the house and the barrel distortion is evident, at various openings. Obviously, it resolves into PP, but it remains annoying. It happens only to my, however, taken used on the net ?
Cons:AF only good in optimal light conditions (Fuji version)
Opinion:Good yield of the lens. Unfortunately the autofocus becomes very uncertain in low light and backlight conditions (at least paired with my X-M1). I tried in the same light conditions the xf35 1.4 (which notoriously does not excel for AF) and it goes much better. If a firmware update for Fuji is not available soon I think I will resell it
Pros:Sharp already at TA, superb blurry, minimum focusing distance at only 50 cm.
Cons:Practically nothing. With micro 4/3, at a minimum focusing distance, it often struggles to hook, but it is remedied.
Opinion:I do not repeat the merits listed by those who preceded me, but I fully share them. I would like to add an aspect that I have seen a little overlooked. Compared to other bright optics it has a minimum focusing distance reduced, only 50 cm. On micro 4/3 means being able to frame only 13 cm long side. So this excellent lens, generally intended for portraits, I instead use it for macro in focus bracketing on botanical subjects. Used in very open apertures, it offers impeccable sharpness on the subject and a blurry in the background that I had never achieved before with my Nikon FF SLRs. For me it has become an irreplaceable lens, it has changed my way of understanding a certain type of macro.
