and size
This lens is perfect for taking to work
the convenience makes it unbeatable indeed
27mm makes it a great compact camera
fast and accurate autofocus
it is still plenty good
The build quality on this lens is actually quite good given the price
focusses fast and accurate and almost completely silent
Image quality is great
especially for a pancake design

the focus ring is a little narrow
it was just always focusing on the background
have any real major flaws
Sensor / Red Dot flares and unsightly streaks
no longer have focus problems
does lose some detail in the edges and corners
they tend to be slower than conventional designs
slightly below expectations and some edge and corner softening
autofocus motor is a little noisy
you lose the ability to zoom
lens does not come with a lens hood
using pancake lenses which tend to be slower than conventional designs
Fuji skipped the aperture ring
Fuji cameras are comparatively big
APS-C format is very small
low weight and the use of plastic
There is no distance scale or DOF scale either
just a bit higher than an inexpensive kit lens and is rather disappointing
No lens is normal
the 50mm cannot do better by simply taking one step back
it s not a lens that stands out
mediocre and poor-selling lens
this lens might feel awkward
The lens is hard to mount and remove from the camera
the front element seems quite exposed without a filter or lens hood
The focal length alone is not the only equation to consider
There is no additional cost to you
lack of an aperture ring is noticeable
are fanned shaped and lack points
lack of a lens hood has not been an issue
lack of weather sealing makes me much more cautious of dust and moisture while
The corners are expectedly a little soft wide open at f2
It is not designed for that and it will not perform to the level you
The lens does not come with a lens hood
a bit bulky for carrying everywhere with me
it is not a very close focusing lens
There is no aperture ring on the lens
it doesn't have an aperture ring
this lens is not only a superb snapshot
Fujinon Lenses Not yet tested Lens Review Navigate Review
back-and-forth stutter and noise
The manual focus ring takes a hit
usually put the feature into shorter prime lenses
the optical block visibly moves back and forth in the barrel to set focus
accidentally bumped the dial off of auto
occasional colored fringing in high contrast areas
The corners are not as sharp as the center
The corners and edges are slightly softer
small size leaves little room for controls
