It's the best value lens you can get especially as a used purchase. It is one of Fuji's sharpest and has wonderful bokeh partly due to its nine-bladed aperture.

Throw away the silly huge lens hood and either use the bayonet fit hood from the 35mm f1.4 if you have one or - buy very cheaply a straight metal hood. To fit this you will need to buy a cheap 39mm filter - push out the glass and fit the filter ring as a spacer to which you add a 39mm to 52mm-ish (up to 55mm is fine) step-up ring for the hood - obviously depending on the hood size.
