Lol its a good lens. Just don't expect the same quality as a vintage metal lens or modern high en plastic.

Now I'm even more confused.

Those new little Fuji F2 primes are as tough as nails. They are built like tanks.

I dropped my 23 F2 from chest high on a dirt trail with rocks and it rolled 3 meters down the hill.

I tested it and it was good.... Sent it back to Fuji anyway and told them about the drop and asked them to check it out.... It was fine.

I have abused the 35 F2 more than any lens I have ever owned. The thing is indestructible.

Greg it seems that you are a gear rapist and proud of it.

But I agree with you regarding those lenses. I have no idea what would be wrong with them.

The 50 F2 feels like you could beat it with a hammer and it would still shoot.

I would not recommend that. Try to limited yourself to dropping and abusing. Beating it up with a hammer might be too much.

What am I missing here?
