The build quality is excellent with a metal barrel and engraved markings.

Razor sharp even wide open, great image quality, beautiful bokeh.

If your main concern is technical quality, you're a technician not a photographer.

Wonderful image quality, fast focusing, very sharp, fast f1.4, and great optics

yes please-Small, light and nice looking-Smooth focus and aperture rings, but with enough resistanceCONS:-Slow autofocus performance-Noisy Autofocus-Slow manual focus performanceTo start with the positives, I would say that this is one of those must have lenses if your only camera system is the Fuji X system; its light, it has amazing image quality, and it looks very very nice (I do factor this into my scoring, but it does not affect it by much)

The good news is that the lens is of impeccable optical quality and in low light this optic combined with the Fuji camera's high iso capabilities make a winning combination

The pictures are razor sharp and the quality is absolutely fantastic

This lens is relatively small, has great build quality, and is for me, an excellent all around lens

If you're looking for an excellent quality lens for your fuji this is a good purchase

The build quality is exceptional, it's an all metal lens,that is fairly light

I don't want to feel stupid for "overpaying" for the Leica and it is a fantastic heirloom quality piece of kit that my son will own but as far as picture quality and use-

Good build quality

I love this lens (35mm 1.4), well built, the quality of the glass and images it produces is amazing!Great for low light and street photography. if you plan to get only one lens for this camera, this is the one!

Impressive optics, small, great construction quality

On 14 June I placed the order for this lens, as well as for the camera body "used-like new" from Amazon Warehouse for $1274(!!) and the 18mm lens "used-like new" for $521 (also from Amazon Warehouse), and I selected super saver free shipping.

Fortunately it is every bit as good as that lens.

Oh the hood doesn't snap into place as well as it should and has a weird cap.

The AF is noisy, and sounds jerky, but it works very well as of recent firmware updates
