Good prime lens for beginners, lightweight and not really pricey

Love this lens. Super lightweight, sharp, produces wonderful images for the price! Recently took a trip to the PNW and it was one of my most used lens' for landscape pics.

Small, light, short and fast lens when using AF. Wide angle great for street and landscape photography.

Its fuji, what else can I saw? I like that its not as cropped as the 18- 55mm and packs a punch photo quality wise

It's not my favorite Fuji lens. That would be the 35mm 1.4 or the 16 mm 1.4. They are more expensive, but the image quality seems to have more "character." It's a bit soft when shot close up at F2. It is, however, a good lens with the fastest autofocusing I've seen in the Fuji lineup. It's also weather sealed, unlike the 35mm, and has a very unobtrusive look. The size and autofocusing speed make it a great street and travel lens.

Really good lens, bought it for street photography, the only downside is it can’t zoom in, but the result for the picture are really nice

Sharp and solid, Im not crazy about the price but Im warming up to it.

Compact lens to complement my Fuji camera. Small size and yet really clear images makes it a great street photography tool.

I am a professional photographer. I use two different camera systems, Nikon DSLRs and Fujifilm mirrorless cameras, they both are excellent systems on their own. When it comes to a 23MM(35mm equivalent in full frame terms) I need a fast reliable autofocus lens because in my case the 35MM lens is the one lens that helps me to narrate stories with a wider angle of view without introducing much distortion. I own the Nikkor 35mm f1.8 so after I read and watch many reviews talking how great the 23mm f2 from Fuji was I decided I would give it a try and maybe replace my Nikon lens in order to make my camera kit lighter and more travel friendly. For me the lens was a big disappointment. Focusing in dimmed light conditions was painful. The image quality was pretty good, but I cannot risk to miss important shots. So the lens is not bad at all is just not meant for high pace work AKA events, action or weddings unless there is plenty of light and by plenty I mean almost daylight conditions. Skip this one, buy the 16mm f1.4 you will go wider but for sure you will get the shot. PS I own the 56mm f1.2, 35mm f1.4 and the 16mm f1.4 the first two are much older than this one and still focused faster.

Love this lens and fuji system. Colors are so vibrant and sharp. Good for walking around no weight

This is an amazing lens and value. Well built, great qulity for much less than the competitors. Been a Canon guy for along time, however the new RF mount, etc. has priced me out of their line up. Hence, the transition to Fujifilm.

Great build, super compact, weathered, this is a must have.

Quite an outstanding lens. Very comfortable, compact, and fast aperture. Image quality is very good and if you stop it down it get better for sure. This is the lens I needed to keep weight and size manageable.

Small, very well built (heavy sturdy metal), and high quality shots. This will be my main go to lense

What can I say? I've been very pleased with all of my Fujifilm lenses and this one is no exception. I bought it for a commercial video I was working on, and it performed very well. It's sharp, has a great close focusing distance and makes beautiful bokeh. I went with this over the 1.4 for the faster focus and weather seal, though I'm sure I'll end up with a 1.4 eventually too. Fuji makes great gear.

One of the best Fuji prime lenses , Sharp and fast auto focus

Love this little lens. So upset it fell into water but had geek squad protection and was able to put the store credit to another lens.

If you're looking at the 35mm f2, consider this llens instead. It gives you more room (wider angle) and is a tack sharper. With that said, this series of lens isn't the sharpest by Fuji, then again it's also not nearing a thousand dollars!

Great lens! Love the build quality. The image quality is the best feature, outstanding. Definitely would buy again.

Bought this for my new mirrorless camera as my sole lens (only have budget for one). It has a beautiful depth and autofocus. Mainly using it for videos but the photos taken has been fantastic.
