Pros: Compact , sharp, light weight , construction , ring nuts , correct , 15 mm FF , very good colors , very good vignetting for high contrast monochrome photography , non-existent chromatic aberrations , nice defined star flare , edge sharpness good , not very good , but better than other Fuji lenses .
Cons: The price, you can get a used 14 xf or a 16 1.4 xf, but you'll never get that lightness and versatility of a 15mm
Opinion: Lens with saturated colors and well balanced and neutral, they do not tend towards the cold but not even towards the warm, this colorimetry I find very useful to define the chromatic contrasts in the photo. 130 gr , rings suitable for Fuji , I think to mount it on xt2 x static or xs10 for street dynamics with ibis to dilate the times , f8 f11 does not create diffraction and remains a little sharper at the edges , considering that already at TA it is sharp, after the Fuji 14 mm 2.8 xf , I wondered if the 9 mm lowa zero-D was the solution , but its too high price made me lean towards the 14, while this slightly more affordable pancake lens seemed to me the right compromise, not wanting to weigh down the backpack. Update 26/11/2023 : Vignetting is not a problem for the high-contrast black and white that I practice in the street, but as soon as I allow myself to do landscaping, unfortunately I am disappointed, I don't think I'll sell it because it's fun, but I have to take a serious wide-angle like my old 14 xf |
