I have this lens and there is a lot to love. It is an absolute joy to use. It just looks and feels made to a super high standard. Optics are obviously great too. Sharp even wide open and it doesn't do anything wrong. The only negative I have is that I'm not always loving the bokeh with busy backgrounds. For that reason I actually prefer to use my cheap 7artisans 25mm F1.8 in situations where soft and pleasant background blur is what I want (which is quite often). Fact is that I often find myself liking the output from the optically and mechanically inferior lens more (I know it's not a 100% apples to apples comparison due to the slight difference in focal length but I think it's close enough to be an alternative). In that perspective the 8x price difference makes the Voigtländer a luxury item to me. Worth it to some if they have the cash. And I'm a bit on the fence with regards to whether or not I really belong in that group. But I sure do love the feel of that manual focus ring and the accurate markings on it.

Thanks for sharing. Have never tried the 7artisan 25mm. Will definitely wanna give it shot when I have the opportunity.

What I would really love to see Voigtlander do is make pancake lenses for any other focal length that Fuji doesn’t have (18 or 27). I have the 27mm v2 and this doesn’t quite do it for me. A 23 or 35 would be killer

Thanks man. I just received this lens today. I am enjoying it so far, but have only shot around the house and yard. No spectacular or particularly interesting shots so far. However, the focusing has been mostly quite easy (I'm a newbie) and most of my shots have been quite sharp. I was wanting a really small, light and sharp lens for my T5. Something with magic. Your photos are amazing and inspiring (and dare I say), magical I'll keep going and use this lens over the next weeks to see if this manual lens can be the EDC lens I have been waiting for.

Hello Mark, Congrats on your new V. It's indeed special and I am certain you gonna enjoy the experience more and more when you use it. In fact my set-up for today was a X-Pro3 with the 27mm too. Have a good one and greetings from Singapore.

I have the Fujifilm XF 27mm f/2.8 and like it a lot, but while I can tolerate the f/2.8 maximum aperture, I am constantly bumping up against the minimum focus distance which is too long. The Voightlander has the same basic size advantage but gives one more stop if you need more selective focus potential and more importantly for me, you can move in very tight compared to the Fuji. I will be getting this lens for sure.

@FujiFanBoys Жыл бұрын

Only 2 down side which is WR and AF. Other than that; you are good to go. I personally loves this lens.

@nvrumi 11 ай бұрын

I have the original 27mm Fujinon and am thinking about upgrading to the new version. The new issue is WR and has a marked aperture ring, which I prefer. For carrying on an X-E4 or earlier non-sealed body, the WR doesn't matter (for me). But I'm intrigued by the Voigtlander. I can't find one to rent so will probably buy a used instance, use for a month, then decide if I want to keep it. I've shot the Konica Hexanon 40mm f/1.8 quite a lot on full-frame and and I like the focal length quite a lot. So I think I need to spend more time with the 27mm lenses on my Fuji cameras.

Interesting, thanks for the review. The 2.0 is attractive; the 2.8 on the Fuji 27mm has always held me back. Two questions: 1) the bokeh looks a bit nervous to me; is that also your experience? 2) does the Voigtlander produce good sun stars? The Fuji does not :). Thanks again!

cause that market is filled by the 24 1.4 already. the 27 is marketed to people who want a very tiny lens. its like an alternative to the x100 series.
