Finally Somebody Did it: The Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 Pocket Test + a More Serious Review Too :)

Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 Review

If you follow FujiRumors also on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, you will know that I am in LOVE with my Fujifilm X-E3. And you will also know, that the lens I use most on my X-E3 is the Fujinon XF 27mmF2.8.

And I don’t love my 27 just because it is so small, but also because it’s actually an astonishing performer for its size. It is really sharp, chromatic aberration and distortion are extremely well controlled… and yes… it is so tiny :) .

I do own plenty of other Fujinon lenses, and yes, the bigger guys like my XF35mmF1.4 are optically even better, but since I bought my XF27mm back in December, it has become my most used lens on my X-E3.

The reason is simple: the X-E3 with XF27mm just fits in everywhere. Hence, every time I leave my apartment, may it just be to pick up quickly my nephew from the kindergarden, I just grab my X-E3 and 27 and take it with me with no need to put in a bag or whatsoever. It fits in almost every pocket…. and speaking of pockets…

… somebody finally did it, the big XF27mm pocket test.

It’s Omar, from Omar Gonzalez Photography. He also got himself a Fujinon XF27mm for his Fujifilm X-T20, and he now shared his review on youtube here. But besides the little pocket test, Omar also makes a more comprehensive review with pixel peeping and so forth. So make sure to check it out here.

And in case you read this, Omar… I lost my lens cap too :).

If you own an X-T20 or X-E3, hence one of the more compact Fujifilm cameras, and want the ultimate compact and yet high performing combo, then the XF27mmF2.8 is the lens you need.
