Well I will be buying a 23mm lens sometime soon, I just need to decide whether to go for the F2 or F1.4.

Brilliant pics! I am curious to know your thoughts on this lens vs the 23/2...
Have you shot the one against the other? Did you choose the 1.4 because of maximum aperture, looks and feel of the lens or other reasons?
I really like the f/1.4 since it just looks (IMHO!) better than the f/2...
Would love to hear your thoughts...and hoping I don't make you repeat yourself since I have asked this question more than once...
Never gonna happen...Both
Please keep the results to yourselfXF18mm f2 arrived about ten minutes ago, will be testing it on the X-E3 tomorrow at Mums.
MARCEL!!! Where oh WHERE is the “I LOVE this” button??
Very nice. Though joking aside I think the 16mm has this area covered for me. I’m loving that lens. It’s much more versatile than I imagined. The close focus ability is a real bonus.

I’ve actually had a bit of a change of heart recently and am really loving the primes. I still really rate the zooms, especially the 10-24 but I’m enjoying the primes with the Fuji bodies much more than I ever did with my Canon setup.You have one hell of a cracking lens in the 16mm, I did love it but needed the room in my bag for two cameras with the lenses on hence the sale and glad your chuffed with it.

Nice shot, the 18-55 did a great job there, and the DOF is great even at F4Rainy day and Christmas decorations mean some indoor photography

I agree 100% with this. I had over £10K worth of Canon L goodness, but it didn't feel as special as the Fuji items. In terms of photographic capability, I have no doubt I could produce 'better images' but as it didn't feel as good to use I didn't really use the kit to anywhere near its potential. Having read a few of the Fuji Love magazines, I can see that it isn't just me that feels this way.Don`t get me wrong, but the zooms Fuji put out are just in a class of their own and when it comes to the primes well they are in another class of their own.
Cheers Rick, yeah some calculated placement between camera and background can certainly allow f4 to render like an f2.8 and the added bonus is the lens is pretty sharp wide open. Even 6400 ISO has rendered itself well.Nice shot, the 18-55 did a great job there, and the DOF is great even at F4
Fuji 80mm...the 60mm is not 1:1 capable but only 1:2 so half the magnification basically...Argghh please help. We are hoping to get my mother-in-law a harvest mice photography workshop, but alas of course she would need some company... (yep that's me ). But they recommend a macro lens to be able to get up and close. I only have 16-80 and Tamron 100-400, so any suggestions for a macro and also recommendations for hiring one?

I'd started my post went away and came cack to submit before seeing this but yup, agreeA harvest mouse isn't smaller than the sensor so I don't think 1:1 would be mandatory, I'd ring the workshop place and understand the required FOV, you may find that your existing 16-80 is capable at 80mm.

Some nice varied shots there Dave, it looks like a good lens indeed. Nice combo you have there.X-E3 + XF18mm f2 I totally love this cracking little lens and for me I think the reviews that slate it are rubbish, if you are thinking of buying it then get it.
The first image I found very creepy as it really did remind me of the little girl in the Red coat in the film Schindler`s List.

Thanks all. Week off this week, so can’t wait to get back to Snowdonia. Hopefully some snow on the tops as well, if the Met has it right.
Sweet hoping to get a long weekend away early next year hopefully when there is some snow top like you mentioned.
