Superb crisp images with my X-E2. Good colour rendering. Nice pleasant bokeh, (see negative points.) .... At this price I'm happy with F2 though. Snappy focus, certainly a very good lens.

F1.4 would be nice, not really a negative as I knew it was F2. Plus it would cost more.

Great lens for close up portraits and landscapes with tripod quite heavy and will need a high shutter speed to get good results

Quality of product ,aperture ring on barrel is a good idea

No

great picture quality and purchased at a fantastic price.

only downside I found its not got image stablisation which in my opinion lets it down.

Providing a field of view equivalent to 135 mm on 35 mm film, this well built lens is sharp and focuses quickly. The medium telephoto view makes it suitable for portraits and some sport. I also like it for landscape. The quality justifies the price.

Stunning lens...

Beautifully made with a precision feel and optically at least the equivalent of very much more expensive glass.

Pricey, but that is inevitable and I can think of no negative points.

Forget the quality issues This lens is excellent

Excellent optical performance

Rubber lens hood cap is easily lost
