XF 27mm f/2.8


The XF 27mm f/2.8 is one of Fujifilm's few actual pancake lenses, the only other being the 18mm f/2 lens. It offers an equivalent of 41mm on a full frame camera, or a 55.5 degrees angle of view. This lens has no weather sealing, is not considered particularly fast, and has a rumor for not having particular good resolution. It has a rumor for being a kind of "meh" lens, only being attractive for its cheap price.

Yet, many reviewers express surprise when they review this little gem. Apparently it has more than what the eyes sees, particularly for the casual street photographer or documentarist, who wants something wider than the 35mm lenses, but still a little tighter than the 23mm lenses. It is a lens which both allows you to take in the scene, but also to get intimate with the subject, combining the best of the 35mm and 23mm worlds. And did I mention that it is a cheap lens? Also, the rumor of not having a particular good resolution might be unjustified. Check more below.

XF 23mm f/1.4 R

The XF 23mm f/1.4 R takes some points here, being among the older - but not oldest - Fujinon lenses (from 2014), one of the lenses with the widest aperture, of f/1.4, and being among the bigger and more heavy prime lenses. But being big and heavy for a Fuji lens, is rather relative compared to lenses of other brands. And this lens creates magic. The 23mm focal length, which equals 35mm on a full frame sensor or a 63.4 degrees angle of view, is great for a lot of casual shooting, street photography, and even some kinds of portrait photography. However, the very wide aperture and amazing image quality, is what makes this lens magical. It is a lens made for the creatives, allowing you to express whichever thought comes to mind. To purchase the XF 23mm f/1.4 R, follow link for below option/s: Amazon Specs: Focal Length 23mm (35mm Equivalent Focal Length: 35mm) Maximum Aperture f/1.4 Minimum Aperture f/16 Angle of View 63.4° ...

XF 16mm f/1.4 WR

This is probably one of the most celebrated and revered Fujinon lenses, recommended by far the most of the people, who have had their hands on it. Though it being a wide angle, the close focusing distance of only 15 cm (!) allows you to get very creative with it, even creating some nice bokeh - if that is your thing. While many people would consider this pearl of a lens mainly for street photography or landscape photography, it can easily be used for product, food, and even and even portrait photography. Many would insist that this, together with the 56mm f/1.2 and the 90mm f/2 are the best lenses to get for your Fujifilm camera, having almost everything covered. To purchase the XF 16mm f/1.4 WR, follow link for below option/s: Amazon Specs: Focal Length 16mm (35mm Equivalent Focal Length: 24mm) Maximum Aperture f/1.4 Minimum Aperture f/16 Angle of View 83.2° Minimum Focus Distance 5.91" / 15 cm ...
