After seeing some really sharp images by Jim Nichols, taken with the Fuji X
27mm lens, I decided to pick one up, taking advantage of a very low price at
B&H and the fact that my son was coming over so he could bring it with him,
thus bypassing Spanish customs and saving me international shipping. I paid
around $300 for it, and after having taken several hundred images with this
lens, I have to say that it is the best bargain in photography right. The small
size (it is basically a pancake lens) combined with amazing image quality has
made it my favorite Fuji lens right now. The only thing I do not like about it
is the absence of an old-fashioned aperture ring, so you have to set the
aperture using the dial on the camera. But aside from that, this is a lens that
I would take to the proverbial desert island.
Cheers,
