I bought a XS-20 second hand with no lens. As I was waiting to mpb, I decided to scoop this up. It’s perfect for traveling and just putting this in a jacket pocket. Clarity is great, easy to use and works flawless. The only issue I’ve seen is there is a vignetting in the corners but it’s not super noticeable. Great value for the money.

Wonderful lens, but arrived with a physical imperfection on the front. It is just a small chip that does not affect the lens, but makes the lens look cheap.Otherwise, a fun lens to shoot with.

I've had the Fuji XF27mm f2.8 and now this lens. I did not like the XF27mm from Fuji, it had massive flaring issues and was soft to focus at best.This is an almost identical size and weight, and has less flaring issues and is sharper (but not everywhere, I'll get to that).The good parts are: It's small and lightweight. Center sharpness is more than acceptable even on the 40mp sensor (I have an X-T5). It focuses very fast in daylight. It has an aperture ring. The lens cap fits very flush without filters or the hood. Using it on an IR modified body (an X-T1 with the hot plate removed) it doesn't have any glaring hot spots that I've noticed yet.The 'eh' parts: The aperture ring only has grips on two opposite spots, without looking you'll usually take a moment of hunting for the grips. The body side cap is the only way to update any firmware, the cap does not fit on other Fuji lenses very well and is loose. I potentially see losing it.The not so good parts: The lens hood makes the lens cap stick out a bunch and can snag on things and fall off or put stress on the lens (and body mount). With a filter on the lens the lens cap does not fit very well and falls off with the slightest bump or touch. With a filter and the hood the lens cap fits, but the whole thing sticks out a lot from the lens, making it much less 'pocketable'. There is some strong vignetting in the corners even without filters or the hood. The corners are softer than the center. It is not weather sealed.Overall this makes a decent to excellent lens. It suits me better than the XF27mm from Fuji. I could see a version 2 of this (really a better lens cap and mount cap design or a USB mount on the lens itself) really performing well. The optics are good and the motor is more than functional. It behaves well on a camera with IBIS.EDIT:I have to update this review. The lens cap is a constantly bad feature, always falling off. I've taken to just wrapping the lens in a microfiber cloth when not on a camera instead of a lens cap. It's really bad. So bad I took a star off the rating.

This is a nice little pancake lens. For the money I can't complain with the photos it takes. Not the best lens I own, but for what it is (light and compact), the photos I take are good. Better in well lit environments, low light not so much. I will most likely get the Fuji pancake eventually, but for now I don' t regret buying this lens.

In love with this lens. I bought my dream camera finally and although I bought it used it was still pretty pricey. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a lens so I went with this one. First off, we love the pancake lens, and the pictures have came out so well!! 10/10 recommend.

Awesome lens for the affordable price. Autofocus misses here and there, but nothing too drastic. There can be a bit of vignetting that happens around the edges, but you can fix it in post. Overall happy with my purchase, the ease of use, its compact, and lightweight! Fits perfectly on XT5!

Great lens. The autofocus is pretty good. I have no complaints on that. It is sharp but I feel the XT series is pretty forgiving with these types of off market lenses. It does add a filter, and a tiny extension ring so you use the pitiful lens cap. A little silly actually. I actually leave the cap off. But I would recommend buying this lens.
