Value For Money

Being priced at around £780, this is currently one of Fujifilm's most expensive lenses for the X-series. As there are currently no third party manufacturers offering similar lenses to compare, this means Fuji has a monopoly on the supply of lenses for their cameras currently.

Even so, the quality this lens delivers, along with the fast maximum aperture mean this lens represents decent value, especially if those specifications are required for your photography.
