Save 44% on the Original Fujinon XF 27mm F2.8… and One Reason Why Some Might Still Prefer it Over the New XF27mmF2.8 R WR
BestBuy is now selling the original Fujinon XF27mm f/2.8 for $249.
That’s a 44% price drop compared to the $449 the same lens costs at BHphoto here and AmazonUS here. The lens is no longer available at Adorama.
The new Fujinon XF27mm f/2.8 comes for a price tag of $399, and it has weather sealing and also an aperture ring. It’s probably the best pick for many of us.
Is there a reason to still get the original 27mm, except for the cheap price on Bestbuy?
Here is one: if you like to operate your X-E camera with one hand, you will change aperture anyway using the command dial on the camera with your right hand, making the aperture ring on the lens of the new 27mm useless.
