Wow. What a fantastic little lens that helps keep my XPro2 nice and small. I have the 16-55 f2.8 as well as the Zhong-Yi 50mm f0.95 and this is a great lens to have as a general walkaround. Prime lenses can be a limiting factor in the way I like to shoot so the 16-55 had been glued to my camera but this one is so light and makes for such a compact shooting experiences that I've had a lot of fun taking photos with it. Its definitely not the sharpest in the Fuji line up and there are other things that people tend to miss like the physical aperture ring but I'd been shooting with Canon for YEARS before moving to Fuji so the ability to quickly change apertures with the back dial is a plus for me, personally. Overall, a great lens that, for the price just can't be beat. If you're looking for clinically sharp photos you might pass on this lens but if you want something that's not going to break the bank and still give you great results on the Fuji system, look no further.Read full review

It performs and behaves exactly as described in the dozens of competent on line reviews of this lens. It was purchased because it is small, in between, utility focal length-wise and walk-around street photo lens and one of the more affordable Fugifilm OEM lenses. So far, so good. It is overpriced for what it is even at the reduced price I paid for the used example purchased here on Ebay. It should have cost about half what I paid for a new example....especially for a lens without an aperture adjustment ring and no hood or protection case but that is only my humble opinion. It is compact and well built and the images it takes are excellent.

This is an extremely versatile and light little lens that is ideal for travelling. The Image Quality is very high and its also very silent in operation. The only downside is that it does not have an on-lens aperture ring, and does not come with a lens hood. However you can change aperture easily via the camera (rear-wheel) and I believe you can also buy third party lens hoods, although I did not bother as I think it would defeat the purpose of having a pancake lens. Overall, its a great lens at a great price, making it an attractive addition to any Fuji shooter's line up.

The Fujifilm pancake lens is a nice replacement for the kit lens that comes in the X-E1 kit. It makes the camera lighter and less bulky while still taking great photos. I enjoy carrying the camera around with just this lens attached all the time. The XF27 doesn't have optical image stabilization like the kit lens so the camera has to be more stable when taking a picture, but it's not a big deal. I was able to shoot decent pictures without thinking too hard about stabilization. Other reviewers mention that the aperture can only be adjusted by the dial on the camera body and dock points off for that. I actually like having the aperture adjustment on the body dial since my thumb falls on it naturally. The only issue that bothers me is that I like to have a UV filter attached as a lens protector, but the way the the lens is designed causes the UV filter to stick out awkwardly a few millimeters (with the lens cap on, you can really tell). Overall, it was a good purchase. I'm a cheapskate and think it could be priced lower, but you gotta pay to play with nice equipment that works without much fuss.Read full review
The Fujifilm 27mm lens does its own f/stop setting for every photo (it is automatic). This focal length is comparable to a 35mm digital camera's 40mm focal length. I am a seasoned photographer and I found this little lens performs marvelously. The Fujifilm XF 27mm f/2.8 lens is affordable, and you do not have to know f/stops and shutter speeds.
