Unless you absolutely need the fastest glass you can buy (for low light shooting), I’d actually recommend investing in the 23mm f/2 WR and spending what you save on education.Ģ3mm on a Fuji mirrorless camera body has a 35mm equivalent focal length on a full-frame sensor, the field of view of choice for street photographers, wedding photographers and any other photographer who wants a storytelling lens that’s versatile enough for portraits, landscapes and everything in between. You’ll have a hard time deciding between this f/2 Fuji lens and the f/1.4 variant in fact since the f/2 offers very similar image quality at almost half the price (and weight!) of the f/1.4 lens. It’s just as sharp throughout its aperture range as its big brother the f/1.4, and most importantly, excels wide open at f/2. However, you’ll not want to reserve the 23mm f/2 WR as a mere backup, since the image quality it offers is superb. Weighing in at only 180g, this little lens is one of the lightest in the range, and so small that you could keep it in your jacket pocket all day as a backup and not even notice it there.įujifilm X-T2 + 23mm f/2 | f/5.6 | 1/3200 | ISO200 | © Jonas Rask

The next impressive feature of the 23mm f/2 WR s its weight. You’ll see it on a few of the other Fujifilm lenses, including the 50mm f/2, 16mm f/1.4, 35mm f/2 and 90mm f/2, so in theory, my incredibly scientific ‘running water’ test is possible with all these lenses too (although you’ll need to be using one of Fuji’s weather-resistant camera bodies like the X-T4.)Īs you can see, ‘weather resistant’ is a bit of an understatement, and bears testament to the incredible build quality of the 23mm f/2 WR lens. The ‘WR’ in the name of the 23mm f/2 WR stands for ‘weather-resistant. I have held a 23mm f/2 WR attached to a Fujifilm X-T2 under a running tap! When Fujifilm Australia kindly lent me one of their best mirrorless cameras for this lens review, they told me to have a go at this little stunt, and my jaw was on the floor… There are a few reasons why I think this impressive lens should be the first lens you consider when buying a Fuji mirrorless camera. It’s also the best Fuji prime lens if want that elusive 35mm focal length on a budget -) The 23mm f/2 WR is a bit of a special weapon in the lineup and one that deserves a mention. I’ve already reviewed a 23mm lens (the aforementioned f/1.4 version), so why the need to include another one? So let’s take a look at the best Fuji lenses right now. The compact, lightweight, high quality and affordable lens selection are the major drawcards of the Fujifilm mirrorless camera system.

My eyes are still good enough to 'see' focusing achieved.no different from using a Nikon F2 with a B-or E-screen.Ĭouldn't wait to see colour Focus Peaking FW upgrade or try the split image simulation on the X-E2. I don't worry about it much especially in wider lenses like the 21mm FL.with DoF table in memory. 'Nailing focus' is a neurosis that afflicts many.

Longer lenses from 40mm and up would result in Focus Peaking sparkles.especially wide open.

wide-angle lenses stopped down would result in Focus Peaking 'rim' around certain objects.due to DoF.

Using manual lenses on the X-E1 would need some rethinking:

I use a Fuji 27mm pancake for fun, and nothing but M-mount lenses on my X-E1: from ZM 21/4.5 and ZM 50/2 as a travel pair, plus a few CV lenses and a Avenon 28/3.5, a Minolta M-Rokkor 28mm.looking forward to receiving a Leica 28/2,8 ASPH in a few days. Truth is: No one, not even Oskar himself, had ever seen an M-lens come into focus while photographing.except now possible in an EVF.

Leica RF patch is a case of 'made-believe': you are made to believe that when the patch overlaps, focusing is achieved.assume the RF is correctly calibrated. This gives me the best of both worlds, and some great pictures. So I’ve ended up using my Leica M8 for manual-focus wide-angles to 35mm, and the X-E2 for 35mm and longer. But they’re not very good for critical composition and focusing with long lenses. And Leica M cameras do much better with vignetting, color and resolution in the corners. However, Leica M rangefinders focus wide lenses very well (if the rangefinder has been calibrated lately). Īnyone who uses manual-focus wides on any Fuji X camera for more than 2 minutes discovers they're a challenge to accurately focus wide-open. I understand not everyone has all these lenses, but you may have something similar. I also use 15mm f/4.5 SW Heliar, 21mm f/2.8 Elmarit-M ASPH and 25mm f/2.8 Biogon T*. I have 35mm f/2 Summicron-M ASPH, 50mm f/1.4 Summilux v2, 90mm f/2.8 Tele-Elmar, and 135mm f/4 Elmar lenses.

After some initial trial and (mostly) error, I have a system worked out that may work for you too.
