Thanks for sharing your insights and experiences using the 50mm f/2! 🙌 Great photos! I appreciated you explaining your aperture choices and how the closer subject-photographer distance is helpful for portrait work. Highly considering one of these as part of a lightweight travel and street photography kit (alongside a Fujifilm 18mm).
Great review Peter. Your insight is spot on about this lens. I bought the 50mm also because it combines many positive attributes, starting with the nice built quality, small light and the WR. I like also the fact that I can indeed switch this lens for both indoor use (portraits) or the outdoor, as it's an excellent street photography lens, even at night due to it's fast f2 aperture! Overall it's a great all rounder lens, for professional portrait photos it's probably still better to get a 56mm for instance. Like you said, if one can afford both lenses, keep them both because they work differently.
Thanks for your thoughts on this lens Peter. I believe your positioning as a "photographic enthusiast" fits with many of us. We want quality equipment largely for our own enjoyment and satisfaction.
Excellent video. I like your objective, non-technical, down-to-earth style. Thanks

Excellent method of lens review, concentration on facts that matter. Will be in my kit bag asap 😊

Thank you. It’s so easy to spend too much on a Ferrari when all you need is a Mustang
Thanks for the review ✌️✌️
Great review. One of my favourites from Fuji for sure.
Definitely more affordable and accessible than the 56mm. All you need is a second hand copy by way of a trusted source.
