XF 50mm f/2 WR

The XF 50mm f/2 WR is a compact prime lens, with weather sealing, fast autofocus and a relatively wide aperture, allowing the use of it in most lighting situation. It is the longer of the three compact f/2 primes, unless the 90mm f/2 also is counted in here, though that can't be said to be particularly compact.

This 50mm prime lens offers the equal length of a 75mm lens on a fullframe camera, or 31.7 degrees angle of view, making it a short telephoto lens. While this is lens best suited for subjects such as portrait, particularly half body or headshots, it can be used to a range of subjects, even more casual photography thanks to it's open aperture, fast autofocus and excellent resolution, though the focal length does make it difficult when in a tight place with little room to move. However, being as compact as it is, having this lens, and one or both of the other two compact f/2 primes in the pocket, allows for a good deal of flexibility. This is a lens which fits well both on the camera and in the pocket, so there's really no excuse not to bring it along.

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 ...
