I was hoping that Fuji would release a compact 23mm F2.8 lens but they released the very large 23mm 1.4. So I got the 27mm for my X-E1. I could not be happier. It's compact, takes great photos and the camera with lens will fit in a jacket or vest pocket

Durable; Easy To Use; Lightweight; Reliable

Actually, this lens has replaced all others since it is very lightweight and has small dimensions. Moreover, it performs fast and produces good picture quality.

This lens is an odd focal length falling between the traditional (35 mm FF ) equivalents of 3mm and 50mm, but the optical quality is pretty good, and the max aperture is reasonably wide, and the ting is tiny so on the M1 I got as a toe-dipping into the Fuji system it rivals the 100T and like that...

Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Tiny

Firstly I will start by saying this lens is a really nice compact lens that produces nice sharp photos. Problem is that it is slow to focus and noisy as it focuses which I have not experienced with a prime lens before. I could not tolerate these shortcomings and sold my copy.

Great lens, nearly the same then the human eye! Light weight.

This lens is a real surprise considering price but it holds its own in all price brackets. I am really impressed with its very crisp and contrasty images and without lens stabilization no less.

Handling and features This compact prime lens for Fujifilm X-series cameras provides a field of view equivalent to a 41mm lens on a 35mm camera and a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture and was introduced alongside the Fujifilm X-M1 camera, which is currently smallest X-series camera available.

The Fujifilm XF 27mm F2.8 is the most compact lens in the fledgling XF line-up and is therefore worthy of attention from anyone interested in using a small, discrete and lightweight camera system, especially when paired with the new X-M1 body.

A well-kept secret. Much, much better than you've been led to believe.

Small; Light - 78 grams! Autofocus is fast, accurate and decisive; Decent build quality; Doesn't feel cheaply made or in anyway compromised; Image quality is in no way inferior to my 35mm f1.4 or 60mm f2.4 macro, and this lens isn't the inferior kit lens many took it for when it was first released;...

No hood, and it needs a hood; Bought a nice vented type from eBay for very little - much, much better than anything Fuji offers; Usual price from a dealer here in the UK is ludicrous - ￡380!

Very similar to the lens on the well received Fuji X100F , this 27mm pancake lens is a great all-round prime. The 41mm equivalent focal length is suited to everything from landscapes to street photography, and Fuji has kept the weight down to a minute 78g, thanks in part to excluding a manual...
