We live in a time when most lenses are Highly Recommended. Or have you got all the junk ones out of the way already?

we live in a time when I am currently testing mostly prime lenses ... B)

And this one wasn't decentered So would you actually use this lens or is the focus length not to your liking ?

[Klaus]

Well, the centering wasn't perfect.

"42mm" is Ok. As you may have seen in the sample image I had quite some fun with it.

I would prefer it to be a stop faster maybe.

The 23mm f/1.4 could be just the right thing ;-)

[Guest]

Yea. I think the x2/23f1.4 and 56f1.2 could be a nice system; esp with the 14f2.8 and 55-200. But then again it would cost close to 4.5K

Agreed!

 

Still, with the current heavy rebates on the 27mm in the US, I just couldn't resist buying it   At the moment, one saves about 170 CHF importing the lens instead of buying it directly here in Switzerland.. It's already back-ordered though and will be probably delivered in early April. Just in time for the X-T1 to arrive 

 

Overall, I think 200-300$ is the right price point for this kind of lens. It's just not fast enough to justify its normal 450$/€ price tag...
