For the price of 250$ which is what I got it for (good as new, with its box and everything) I cannot see why so many people are dead set against this gem of a lens. It may be that AF has gotten much faster on the X-T2 compared to older bodies or firmware versions, but as is now, it's great.

I have the 18, 27 and 60. All are very good lenses but they get panned on the internet.

Usually by people who dismissed them without trying them Les.

I was going to try a (4th) 18mm f2 but because I shoot it blind from the hip, many of the subjects are close enough to the edge of frame to distort so I'm sticking with the 14mm for street - at least until the 16mm f2.8 comes to market. Everything else about the 18mm f2 is perfect. I never had one slow to focus or noisy which just shows how some actually get the lenses they never tried mixed up when the comment.
