At 78 grams, this is one of the lightest lenses you'll ever use. It's pancake style also adds to its ease of use. So, let's say you are shooting with the X-H1 camera, which is a bit on the heavy side. Putting this lens on that body brings the overall weight back in line with what we would more typically see in a mirrorless camera. It's kind of a strange field of view (27mm) for a prime lens, a field of view that is neither wide nor telephoto. So, in some ways, it is a strange creature. On the other hand, it boasts a fairly wide aperture of F/2.8, so its good for random street shooting or even interior shots where you are not trying to gulp in big, wide vistas. It's neither fish nor fowl, but it IS fun, and it takes great shots. The color richness is not quite up to the best of Fuji's offerings, but its close, and its sharpness more than makes up for it (and, you can always shoot in "Velvia" mode, if you wish, or simply post-process to add some saturation if you wish it). I think most people agree it is overpriced at its retail level, but if you can get it on sale, it's a great lens to have. There are just times you don't want to be lugging around heavy lenses and just want to concentrate on having fun while shooting, and if the field of view can handle what you are wishing to shoot, this lens can't be beaten.
Compare it, though, with the Fuji XF 18mm prime, which is a little heavier (116g), but not much, has a MUCH wider field of view, and has a wider aperture of F/2, a fairly significant difference. I think the XF 18mm is great, and I use it quite a bit, but I might have to say that the 27mm is actually a tad sharper. The 18mm is $150 more expensive at retail level, and is made in Japan. So, it's a series of tradeoffs, like all lenses, and I recommend both.
Before closing, and not to muddy the waters, but another very light and unexpectedly good new (2018) entry into the Fuji lineup is their absolute CHEAPEST lens, the Fujinon XC15-45mmF3.5-5.6 OIS PZ Lens - Black . That lens, too, is made in the Philippines and is not an XF lens, but an XC lens, where I suppose the "C" stands for "Cheapo." But let me tell you: that little lens with all its plastic and its super lightness (136g) is an overperformer in every way. I am certain that many Fuji shooters will ignore it, bypassing it in their mind as a "kit lens" (which it is), and not worthy of a look. In fact, that little puppy really turns out some great shots, and, to boot, has on-board OIS. No, it doesn't have the feel of those luscious "XF" Fuji lenses like the XF 56mm or the XF 90mm (or the XF 23mm or the XF 16mm), and its never going to match what you can do with those much more expensive XF lenses, but if you can get past that, it knocks out pictures that are really quite good. Plus, it gives you some zoom, and if you are shooting with ANY Fuji camera without onboard image stabilization, this lens magically adds it to the package. So, give it a thought when making a purchasing decision.
But back to this XF 27mm. I can't but give it a Five-Star rating, particularly when on sale. Sharp, good color, light, pretty fast focus, and physically small. A great lens.
One More Note...
If you have not yet looked into the Fuji X system (be it the entry X-A5 all the way to the new X-T3 and X-H1) the system is worth your time to investigate. It's one of the most remarkable systems with which I've worked, and the quality of the images are so good that it is almost shocking at times. This really does include the entry camera X-A5, which knocks out superb images even with the plasticky XC 16-50mm kit lens (I use that lens all the time, along with the XF lenses), and when you consider the price reductions that repeatedly occur (the X-A1 with the kit lens has been at $450 for some time now), the system can really be cost competitive. Some of the "XF" lenses get quite pricey, but the reviews on them are almost uniformly excellent, and they can produce images that compete with the best of the biggest brands. These lenses are routinely compared with Zeiss, Schnieder, and Leica lenses, and my own experience lets me see why. The Fuji X-H1 has built-in image stabilization and is simply a delight with which to shoot. Image quality when paired with the XF lenses (and, as I say, even the XC lenses) can be stunning. The platform is worth looking into if you have not yet done so.
This is a peculiar focal length - a little wide of "normal" but not really "wide angle". It is equivalent to a 41mm on a 35mm film camera. Very few lenses of this category have ever been offered. Yet there has been a debate going back decades that the angle of view presented by these lenses comes closer to the natural or "normal" view seen by humans than does the traditional normal lenses (50mm in 35mm film or full frame digital). I can't say who is right but I remember the 40mm that came on my first serious camera, a Konica TC. I remember that it was easy to use and did its job very well.
Attached to a Fuji X-E1 or X-E2 the 27mm gives you a very light, compact package with a lot of versatility. I often prefer this to the 16-50mm kit lens that I also have. With a little foot work and thought I can cover almost the sane range of subjects. Subjectively, image quality appears very sharp and clean to me. Reviewers with the means to do more objective technical evaluations seem to agree.
Pros: Small, light, flat. No zoom. No aperture ring (use thumb wheel instead). F/2.8
Cons: No zoom, No aperture ring. F/2.8. Not particularly close focusing.
I don't see how a lens faster than F/2.8 or with closer focusing could be designed without being larger and heavier.
More: After more use here are a couple of additional observations.
--If you are doing hardcore landscape photos (i.e., tripod & cable release & ND filters), either the 35mm or 23mm is a better choice since the additional impedimenta just cited pretty much negates any size and weight advantages.
-- You may be willing to to bring an X-E2 plus this lens along on difficult journeys (for example- 10 hours on horseback) where a larger body & lens would wear you down.
If your looking to make your XPRO-1, XT-1, EM-1 etc more portable this lens is a great way to do it.
NOTE: There's on a rebate deal for most of MARCH 2014 (check for details on line) so I only paid $199. At that price it's a real deal.
Top reviews from other countries
Pictures produced are sharper than those from any other lens I've used, including my Canon Nifty Fifty and the equivalent Nikon and Sony primes, partly because of the X-E2's X-Trans 1 sensor (no Bayer filter), and partly because this lens is sharp as a tack.
It's so small and light that, with my X-E2, I've got a system that is at least as good as the X100 series, though at a slightly longer focal length. And with this lens, my X-E2 already set up for zone focusing, and the security and usability of a wrist strap, I can shoot like a ninja. :-)
La calidad de las fotos es altisima, ademas por su diseno pancake tan a penas pesa y ocupa, permitiendo llevar la camara en el bolsillo.
Una gran compra.
