Great set of images!

The 27 is fast becoming one of my favourite Fuji lenses. Given the choice I would still plump for a 23mm but the 27 is so compact and surprisingly sharp it’s almost a lens for all occasions.
It has been glued to my X-E3 over the Christmas period for family snaps and any other opportune moments.

The only negative for me is it’s ‘only’ f2.8 but we can’t have everything.

Yes its rather slow, but on the other hand I am not afraid to go to more than ISO6400 or even 12800 with the Fuji XT5 (although it is worse than XT3 in terms of ISO performance...).

I think for street I am keeping the 27/2.8 and the 35/2. I also tried the Tokina 33/1.4 but so far I am not impressed. Nothing hugely wrong with it, I am just not connecting it with it yet.
