(But while I am on it, not only is it frustrating that you don't get a high-quality Fuji case to match such beautiful lenses, but Fuji is missing out on a great advertising opportunity, because everytime someone pulls out a high-quality lens bad marked "FUJINON" on it in bold, yellow letters, like those used on some of their binocular straps, it is worth more than any paid

So, on any Fuji camera, you will see "Fujifilm," a hangover from the film camera days, but on the lenses, you will see, if you look carefully, not Fujifilm, but FujiNON, a reference to the company's lens division.]I can only give this lens my highest recommendation, even understanding it exists within a field of over-performing Fuji lenses (the XF 23mm F/1.4, the XF 56mm, the XF 16mm, the XF 14mm, for example)

This lense is amazing

Great portrait lense

Bottom line, Fujinon lenses are pricey but perform exceedingly well and now I know they are really really tough lenses

This lense is tack sharp and produces beautiful photos.
