I originally bought the Fujifilm 50mm f/2 to complete my set of small, weather-sealed primes alongside the 23mm f/2 and 35mm f/2. Both of those lenses impressed — more so the 35mm f/2, which I found sharp, fast to focus, and great value. Both of these lenses featured in the best Fujifilm lenses article. To … Read more
