The 27 is my favorite, I only wish it were an f/2 like the 18mm, it would make it more usable in low light indoors and at night in the streets, which are some typical use scenarios for this lens and f/2.8 is a bit of an issue in these situations.
@@antigonooo hahaha, I know it's perfect, but sometimes I need f/2 or lower, that would be super perfect to stay at lower iso, I wouldn't mind if it were a bit bigger, just like the 18mm😁
For me, this. I have always thought a 35mm ffeq (xf23) to be a bit too wide for my taste in some situations while a 50mm ffeq (xf35) has always been not wide enough in some situations. I have the xf27 mkI and it kept me from buying the other two but I always felt bad not having them. With this update, the mk2 will be a true happy medium between the two without constantly wishing for an aperture ring and weather resistance. The video doesn't show but the last point I want to see is if the AF still make some lens elements protrude or not. If it's all internal movement that would be amazing but I doubt it a bit seen how thin it is.
@@ADHDgrapher looks pretty much the same design as mk1 to me, but they put that small cover on top of the protruding barrel, so no moving part but the lens is bigger. Even the aperture ring was there in the prototyle like 8 years ago, they just put that back, changed the motor and voila! But the glass and most of the rest I think is recycled from the first version.
I'd vote for the 27mm bacause I love it, but only if you need like a swiss army knife lens that is decent at anything. If youre more ino what the 23 does best then get that.
@@25myma Yeah I just saw a review vid, where the motor is the same, faster more reliable af but still the super noisy motor, I guess it'd double the size of the lens if it had to be made completely internally.
thanks!!! Fuji !!! I really appreciate seeing the people who create their products showing what they have done
27mm is one of my favorite while street shooting!
I really appreciate to see this renewal which almost eliminate the weak points!!
Just purchased this lens, it just feels so nice to touch and to use, the aperture ring clicks luxuriously, the images are so sharp
Great to see that this lens has been updated with Weather Resistance. We are still waiting for ProRes RAW on the X-Series though.
Love the lens, the older version is the one I most frequently use by far. Nice improvements, congratulations!

Now you’re asking too much. It’s perfect f2.8 i want also remember that you can use the ISO without alterate the image quality.

Yes, I think it should've been an f2. Canon has a 22mm f2 ef-m pancake lens. Fuji could've done it too.
No one need at 27mm f2. Canon and Sony let them swim in their s**t. We are far away better with out crop sensor than anyone else
has the autofocus improved in this new version?
Fujifilm, please do the same with the xf 18mm!
Oh lalaa, sweet!
I love this little thing so much. I actually can’t find a justification to buy a second lens - it does it all for me.
is the autofocus better than the first version?
i need 27mm or 28mm f1.4. please fuji!!
Will the silver version be available in the future?
I hope fuji comes out with a new pancake 18mm with WR - the 18 1.4 is nice but too big
This or the 23 f2?

23mm
What is the min. focusing distance??
Please make 9mm 16mm 24mm 35mm 50mm
With linear motor (precision fokus, fast, and silent)
But we already have 16 f2.8 / 35 f2 / 50 f2 with linear, blazing fast AF, so whats the point?
@@PaprykowyMonarcha the point is, why they do that on f2 or above?? Just do on the f1.4 for video
Hi, how fast is the AF compared to the old version ? Like as fast as the XF50f2 for instance ? Thanks !
same speed..same optics..same iq
@@caglartunca34 so it seems, sadly, which seems to be confirmed by their non-response...
Some reviewers show its faster than the old one
@@ChristianThueringer might be due to the newer body of xe4
@@ChristianThueringer
The X-E4 will be faster AF than the X-E3 which was faster than the X-E2 and so on......The lens motor is likely the same.
27mm pancake f2.0 please Fuji thanks in advance
How is this for filming videos? any improvement with af?
The motor is the same as the old one.
this or 18mm 2?
this
Please develop a new X70.
Hay alguien que hable español? Por cierto tengo el XF27MM 2.8 y tiene una calidad brutal
I don't care about weather seal. I prefer a pancake-shaped lens and a bigger aperture i.e., f/2. Fuji XF 18 f/2 is my ideal lens, except its noise.

신형 e-4도 있는데 굳이 pro-3에 물려 영상을 만들었네. 27mm의 최고 궁합은 e-4 아닌가? e-serise는 후지에서 심심할때 기분전화용으로 내놓건가.
