Hi together,
I couldn't find a topic with reviews on the new X100VI... so I start it and link to my own review first. For those who are interested:

Hi there,
am I right that there is no specific thread about this lens yet - except an announcement about the firmware update? If there is, sorry... if not, I'll start with an opinion:

Hello everybody,
Again, I did not find a dedicated topic to just this lens in the forum. So, as the last (blog) act of the year, here's my opinion on this lens.
https://peterpoete.de/xf23-14-wr-review/
Happy New Year 2023!
Cheers,
Peter
P.S. In January I'll be reviewing the XF33 and the XF30 Macro...

Hello all,
after a while I wrote a long review again, the first time on an X-T. I'm looking forward to all opinions and open for discussions... and Merry Christmas!

Who here is crazy enough to think that the X100V is the best digital camera ever? I've had it for a year now, in parallel with the X-Pro3/X-T4 and also the GFX system... and of course it can't replace system cameras especially for certain work... but in terms of concept and maturity I think it's just incredible... I don't really have anything to add to my thoughts even after a year.

Hi. Thanks. Nicely written and thoughtful blog, btw, and great shots.
Thanks…
QuoteI don't yet own a Fuji body, and was waiting for this lens to be released before diving in (28mm is my favorite.) The thing is, I've currently got a Canon EOS R with an adapted EF 28/2.8, which is actually smaller & lighter than the new Fuji. The Fuji's faster, of course, but I don't really need the speed, and was hoping for a more discreet setup.
Sounds more like a general decision between Canon and Fujifilm… why do you want to change systems?
QuoteSo maybe the f/2 Fuji is for me. When I looked at your comparison, though, I first though those were corner-frame comparisons. The fact that it's the center is a bit of a concern. (If they'd only make an X100 with a 28mm equivalent, I'd be set.)
The F2 ist kind of special, I think it‘s not for everyone. Optically it‘s not for pixel peepers or for some special tasks where resolution is key. Mechanically, it‘s crazy as well by today‘s standards… no internal and loud AF, aperture blades are chattering, aperture ring not as good build as with other fujifilm lenses, … I love it anyway, just saying.
If you want to go discrete: XF27 F2.8 MKII, XF23 F2 and XF16 F2.8 are extremely versatile, very small, fast AF, weather resistant, … or you could go with a X100V with WCL-X100 adapter… the X100V is in my view the best digital camera ever :-)

I gather he doesn't like pixel peeping, but that small comparison with the 18/2 is telling, regarding the IQ step-up in the new lens. (I'm wondering if he vignettes in post, as both lenses show quite a bit in some shots.)
Despite his enthusiasm, even he seems a bit leery regarding the size of the lens. I'm surprised Fuji didn't recognize the use-case people like myself have for this focal length, and updated the compact f/2.
I'm afraid if I bought this new 18, I'd end up leaving it in the bag.
Hi KrisAK,
first of all, it‘s not „he“, it‘s me 🙂 My fault, I should have written „my thoughts“… it‘s my blog…
And yes, of course the vignetting is made in post, that‘s very often my style. So I don‘t care about vignetting, but both are OK in this respect - the f/1.4 even better I think.
Coming to the size: Puh, yeah, it‘s OK… but as I wrote, I would like it to be a bit smaller. All in all, though, it's still OK, as it's also quite slim and light.
Should you prefer it to the F2 version? This is the hardest question of all. As a landscape photographer probably yes, otherwise it depends on how much you need/want that kind of perfection. It's damn good without question, but I'm still not selling the F2 either... maybe that answers the question best.
Cheers,
Peter

I have recently bought the GF30. Although it's not really small, at least it's relatively light and otherwise absolutely fantastic... but I'm still working on my review of it...

Hi,
I am going with the triple 30/50/80... with the GFX50S I have experiences with the 45, 63 and the two zooms 32-64 and 45-100...
Some first reviews on the lenses:
https://peterpoete.de/gf50-review/
https://peterpoete.de/gf3264-review/
... and I am working the the reviews on the 30mm and the 80mm...

Hi there, for those who are interessted, some (first) thoughts from my side on the GFX100S...

Probably I will end up with these two X cameras. I don't know I love the GFX and 50mm 'pancake' lens too.
I also have the GFX 50S... but I didn't make full use of it. I still deliberate whether it would be different with a GFX 50R... but it's maybe only GAS.

Thanks, Paul!
I think your plan is good... the camera is great, but it should fit someone. I just sent mine to service to check out this OVF thing. If it's my eyes, okay, so it is. But I'm still not completely convinced...

For those, who are interested... here my as honest as possible review of the X-Pro3.
https://peterpoete.de/fujifilm-xpro3-review-english/
I'm curious to hear your opinions, even if they're contrary to mine. 🙂
Peter

... yes, me too ;-)

I am curious what the service will do :-) And how long it will work with a new one. What a pity on such a great camera!

Hi together,
I have changed my opinion on that lens totally and really started to love it despite its known quirks.

No other evf can be compared to xt1/Xt2 evf.
Olympus OM-D E-M5 MKII and E-M1 can easily be compared to it...
... and by all accounts Leica SL :-)
