I just received my 50mmF2 lens today, and promptly put it on my X-T2 to take a few comparison shots between it and my 18-55m kit lens. I also threw in a few from my 35mmf2 for comparison. Excuse the crappy lighting and composition - I was really just trying to get a sense of the boken capabilities with each lens wide open at roughly the same distance.
My conclusion: I haven't decided yet whether I'll be shipping the 50mmF2 back - gotta play with it a bit more before deciding. I can certainly see the advantage of the 50mmF2 for subject isolation when it's wide open. That said, when shooting at f4 or so, the 18-55mm "kit" lens holds it own pretty well. The 50mm sure is beautifully built though. Autofocus speed is fast - slightly faster than the 18-55mm, but slightly slower than the 35mmF2. Size looks to be about 30% larger than the 35mm, but both of the primes are tiny compared to the 18-55. Fuji makes good lenses.
Say, Steve Austin had plastic surgery? He looks the same just like in the 70's. Looks good though. I'm a big fan by the way.
