Wow Nelly! Best in the Camera & Photo category

I was very hesitant to buy this lens. I wasn't sure I would like the focal length, I wasn't sure how the quality of the lens would compare to other Fuji lenses, and I wasn't sure the lens would last (there were no reviews of the lens work after a few months). Needless to say, I was concerned about the drop in cash. I didn't know if it was worth saving the difference and spending money on a Fuji lens with roughly the same focal length. But since I don't make any money from my photos, spending that kind of money on a simple giggle seemed pretty outrageous to me. Well, let me just say this: I'm INCREDIBLY impressed with this lens and I'm so happy I ordered it. Build quality is solid, although not as heavy as I expected. This is perfect for the Xt4 case. Image quality is disgusting (in the sense of good); blurred areas are so dreamy at f1.8, and sharp areas are as sharp as I've ever wanted or needed (I'm not a pro, just an enthusiast). Can't wait to take it for street photography! I have attached some images to add to the image basket. And I will definitely update my review of this lens over time. So stay tuned.
