Fujinon XF27mm F2.8 Lens, Black

Product Information

This lens is an ideal everyday lens that won't let you down. With a 27 mm focal length, this prime lens provides a natural field of view similar to the human eye. It is ideal for portraiture, street and landscape photography, extended travel, and wildlife photography. The key feature of this lens is its portability and versatility, creating high-quality images whatever the subject. Is the Fujifilm XF 27mm F2.8 R WR lens weatherproof?

The Fuji XF 27mm f/2.8 ASPH is a fantastic little lens. It does everything I'd need it to do with superb optics and tiny size. I often prefer fixed lenses over zooms. The Fujifilm XF 27mm F2.8 R WR is a very compact "pancake" prime lens, weighing just 84g (2.9oz) and measuring a mere 23mm (0.9in) in length. Anyone familiar with Fujifilm’s nomenclature will notice the letters R and WR in the name of the 2021 version, indicating it now has an aperture ring and weather-sealing. Despite its compact size, measuring 62x23mm and weighing 84g, Fujifilm’s managed to squeeze-in both a manual focusing ring and a new aperture ring, although the former has understandably narrowed compared to the 2013 model. A dome-shaped lens hood is also included. La Virgen de Guadalupe, 10 September 2014. Fuji X-T1, f/2.8 at 1/125 at Auto ISO 500. full-resolution. On the other hand, the focus ring is pretty negligible. It’s just as slim as the focusing ring on the X100V, so it’s kind of hard to use comfortably with manual focus, but it turns smoothly and is nicely dampened. I would have liked to see a tab or lever or something that protrudes from the focus ring to help with manual focus, but most people are probably not utilizing manual focus with this lens unless absolutely necessary. (Side note: you can actually buy an external focusing tab attachment on Etsy that might make this more comfortable if you deem manual focus a necessity with this lens, or just want a more rangefinder-style experience.)

FAQs:

If this 1,200×900 pixel crop is about 6" (15cm) wide on your screen, then the complete image printed at this same very high magnification would be about 21 × 31" (1.7 × 2.6 feet or 50 × 80 cm). On the X-S10 I get a real-world improvement of five stops. I get 100% tripod-equivalent sharpness handheld 86% of the time at a quarter of a second!

Coming from a crop sensor camera with limited ability to get in close, I was surprised by the dreamy bokeh this 27mm could capture. The 27mm is the kit lens for bodies like the XE4, and the bokeh definitely doesn’t feel kit. Out-of-focus areas have nice, soft edges. Points of light are circular. Most bokeh balls have soft edges, though a few had a slight ring to them. I didn’t spot any soap bubble bokeh. Sharpness The 41mm equivalent lens is constructed of six elements in five groups, including two high-refractive index elements. It has an aperture range of F2.8 through F16, uses a seven-blade aperture diaphragm, has a minimum focusing distance of 35cm (13.8"), uses a 39mm front filter thread and has a metal body. Weather-resistance has been built-in to the Mark II lens at seven different locations to help protect it against water and dust and allow it to fully operate in temperatures down to -10°C (14°F).Distortion is invisible as shot as JPGs on my Fuji X-T1, which for all I know is correcting it automatically. Fujifilm kept the glass inside the new lens the same as the old one. There are seven elements in five groups with seven rounded blades. The minimum focus distance is a little more than 13 inches, which is decent enough but not great. The 27mm focal-length is 40.5mm full-frame equivalent, which is barely wide-angle, and is very close to “normal” on Fujifilm X cameras. The maximum aperture is f/2.8, which isn’t particularly fast, and the minimum aperture is f/16. The lens accepts 39mm threaded filters.

There are no color fringes when shot as JPG, where my X-S10 is probably correcting any that may be there. I can't vouch for what you'll see if you shoot raw and then open the files with non-Fuji software. Percent Perfectly Sharp Shots" are the percentage of frames with 100% perfect tripod-equivalent sharpness I get when I'm shooting hand-held while free-standing with no support or bracing. This is a very strict test; in actual shooting at typical print sizes I get acceptable sharpness at much slower speeds, but for the purposes of seeing how much improvement an IS system gives, this is the most precise method. Unlike the original version, the Fujifilm XF 27mm F2.8 R WR lens now has a traditional aperture ring on the lens barrel, which allows you to set the aperture in 1/3 steps, complete with full aperture markings running from f/2.8 to f/16.

I use a clear (UV) protective filter instead of a cap so I'm always ready to shoot instantly. I only use a cap when I throw this in a bag with other gear without padding — which is never. The UV filter never gets in the way, and never gets lost, either. the 18mm features a physical aperture ring which is great. But on the downside, like the 27mm it’s not I use this method 50% of my time and when I want to be the fastest, in good light conditions. For that, I set the diaphragm at f5.6 and the focus at a distance of 5 meters. The TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8 has no visible distortion, which is good because no camera can correct for it if it had any significant distortion.
