If you use a body without seals this isn't a concern, but if you have an X-Pro2 or X-T2, be careful not to use it in rough weather with the 27mm attached. There's also no weather sealing, which is included on the 23mm F2. Optical stabilization is also omitted, but that's not surprising-it's something you don't typically find on lenses of this type.

It's a good lens, though not quite as good as the slightly larger XF 23mm F2 R WR, which is brighter and includes protection from dust and splashes for the same price. It doesn't have an aperture ring, which will turn off some Fuji owners, but delivers strong image quality in a small package. The slim lens is compatible with Fuji's X mirrorless system, making some of the smaller cameras available almost pocketable.
