Although there are only a smattering of Vine reviews of this lens on Amazon, there is plenty of coverage of it elsewhere on the 'Net.I'd recommend Dylan Goldby's video review for instance (and he also has a comparison video including this and some competitors).But if you want the TL:DR version of watching and reading all those it'll sound something like:"Fast focusing, sharp corner to corner with few performance downsides (perhaps a little flare). It loses the manual aperture ring compared to the previous f1.4 and the build quality is distinctly at the cheaper end."I can't give a more comprehensive review than the experts, but my initial impressions differ slightly. From a performance perspective, a quick try suggests this will be a really nice lens to use, but I’d point you to the professional reviews again for a lot more varied example images.Most reviewers describe the build quality as cheap. Certainly, it’s not a pro lens and makes no claims to being weather-sealed, for example. It also feels pretty light, but that’s not necessarily all bad, of course.It does have a metal mounting ring which is certainly not a given these days. I was expecting (based on reading reviews) that the overall quality of the plastics and finish would be a bit nasty. Not the case in my view. It’s entirely respectable.Some reviewers also comment that the lens hood is useless. It is very minimal and I don’t think will do much/anything to prevent flare. But it would be worth having on to provide a little bit of knock protection.If you can do without the aperture ring, this seems like a great way to add a lens of this type to your bag.

The product is supplied as listed, the lens comes with rear and front lens caps, a lens hood (petal shaped) and the carry pouch.The first thing that I was a little surprised by was how light the lens feels (only 171g, apparently), the plastic is not premium stuff, but not cheap feeling to touch. either. The mount itself, however, is metal (some more expensive ones can be plastic, here). There is an integral USB port for firmware upgrades.At this price bracket, the image quality is really excellent. The colours are crisp, at f1.7 there is the normal expected blurring around the corners, at and above f4, the image is very sharp. The lens supports eye detect and auto focus. There is no aperture setting ring, this is done through the camera.Focus speed and sharpness are up there, the lens can hold its own against much more premium (and considerably more expensive) competition.The lens is probably ideal for the newcomer to more serious photography away from the mobile phone photography. Highly recommended, great product.

I got this lens because I had been looking for a fast portrait lens with autofocus. I enjoy shooting portraits with beautiful background blur (bokeh) as well as capturing low-light scenes—like evening street photography or cozy café interiors.The lens comes in a convenient box with a protective pouch and both caps. Mounting it onto the Fujifilm X-Mount camera took just seconds—the bayonet locked in firmly with no play. The metal body gives it a premium, solid feel. It’s noticeably heavy, but the weight is well-balanced with the camera.One of the main reasons I chose this lens is its f/1.2 aperture. It performs excellently in low light, allowing for clean, noise-free images even at night. The background blur is soft and pleasing, making it ideal for portrait work.I tested it during a street photo session and was impressed by how accurately it locked focus on the subject’s eyes.Its 27mm focal length is quite versatile—great not only for portraits but also for everyday use, travel photography, and even product shots.This lens turned out to be a great choice. It handles low-light situations well and delivers fast autofocus. If you’re looking for an affordable yet high-quality portrait lens for Fujifilm X-series cameras, this one is definitely worth considering.

Tried this out on my Fuji X-Pro. Its a APS-C lens so not full frame . For information, 35mm on an APC camera equates to a 50mm on full frame.Results were impressive. Sharp and hardly any fall off at corners even at f1.7.Price is less than half the Fuji equivalent.On the downside the lens does not have an aperture ring so changing the aperture is via dial on the camera only. No big deal as I have the same on my Nikon Fc camera. Once you get used to its, its fine and since I am aperture priority I usually have the camera at either F5.6 or F8.It's very light weight which is a plus, mainly due to the plastic lens, but with a metal mount. Comes with lens caps and lens cap.
