The Best Fujifilm Lens Under $400. (+Sample photos)

This is the best fuji lens under $400 as it is simple, sharp versatile and most importantly has a ton of character. I've had the opportunity to try a wide array of fujfilm lenses and nothing beats this lens in terms of focal length and performance. There's a certain magic to it that gives you very nice colors and a classic look. Definitely try this one out if you haven't already!

I have the original 23 f1.4 instead of this one, but I have the 35 f2 and 50 f2. The f2 lineup is truly superb. The 35 f2 and 50 f2 are probably my favorite lenses. I do really like the 18 f2 as well.

I bought a second hand fuji xt-3 and it came with the F23mmF2. I love it so much, I haven't even thought of buying another lens in the last 2 years which is amazing for me lol. I take photos of my pets and food mainly so it's good for those subjects as well

Nice review.

4:50 I was hoping Fuji sent you a prototype of the XPro4 or XE5 😅. But at a closer look like, it’s an older Fuji (I don’t want to spoil the model for you).

I literally just bought this lens 10min ago before watching this video. Looking forward to your workshop KingJvpes! 📸

Had this as my only lens for my XT3 for about a year and never felt the need to get another lens. I only just got an adapter for my vintage pentax glass and a ttartisan 17mm f1.4 for fun. So, it remains as my only AF/quality lens. Been thinking about getting a 16mm f1.4 or 18mm fujinon to replace my ttartisan lens, alternatively a 35mm fujinon.. We’ll see

Great video as always man! This lens is my go to lens for 2 years now. It never leaves my X-Pro 2 :)

[omphileneo]

Between the 35mm f2 and the 23mm f2, I have all I need. I have the 16mm f2.8 if ever I need a bit more width but that hardly comes out to play. I still shoot the X-T2 professionally and I plan on riding this kit until the wheels fall off.

I'd still say the Contax Zeiss Planar 50/1.4T* i the best Fujifilm lens for that money, and it covers the GFX sensor as well.

That lens lives on my fujifilm XE-3, crazy sharp!!

[juliascamp]

I have a handful of Fuji lenses and camera bodies. This is one that I don’t have…my 27mm f2.8 is my “everyday carry” but I still want the 23mmf2 for comparison.

viltrox f1.4 lenses are amazing for the money, I only hate clickless aperture. these fujinon f2 lenses are tiny, that’s my favourite part about them.

[adamkocka-patchik]

Did you casually leak an Xpro4 or XE5? I was pausing the video after you were showing the 18mm on that body with gaffers on it.

Who makes your lens hood and where did you buy it ? Thanks for the video

[davekerr]

In my opinion The best lens for the system is the amazing 18mm f1.4
It is sharp, fast af, and produces beautiful images.
It is my favourite focal length.

brooo😭 stop u gonna juice up the prices.i been trying to save up for this😭

[werxner]

Managed to do some marketplace trawling and picked one up for 200$ AUD (127$USD)🤫

[robertthompson]

just got the silver one on ebay for 280 with free shipping

[venomk]

Tbh If I were to start again now I would simply go for the 18mm f/2, 23mm f/2 and 50mm f/2. Done. Okay, throw in the 35mm f/1.4 in there as well 😂

Anybody else have ZERO experience with Fuji cameras?

[DarrylHebbes]

In your hands it must be "magic" ;-)
