I'm afraid that "The Thinking Artisan" (as the box refers to the company) is less than impressed with this lens.... with the caveat that it was £159 rather than the £400 for the Fuji lens.
The sharpness, clarity, contrast and general rendering of the lens is really good... but the vignetting is brutal. On to the examples...
The first piccie with any new gear was promising...
The out of focus parts look really good...
But the vignetting at f/2.8 is unacceptable...
...and it's still visible at f/5.6...
However; it made me remember whay I love this focal length as it immediately felt so right compared to the 35mm f/2 that I have been struggling with for a while now.
