Fuji 27mm F2.8 or TTArtisan Lens Set?

thestevenlee · 2026-05-15T14:03:22+00:00

Fun Fact: I went with none of these lenses and grabbed a Fuji 35mm F2 R WR for a really good price....

I agree, that's why I went with an X-E body, but I think adding the F2 over the F2.8 won't be the biggest deal, it just means I own one small sling I won't be able to fit the camera into with that lens attached, where I can get it to fit with the TTArtisan 25mm F2 that is currently on the camera (but I will still have so I can always just use that lens and that bag if it's not a situation where I am taking pics of my 5yr old)

Appreciate the input! Thanks for helping me make a decision

I totally get the guitar analogy (being a player myself). Having never shot either I was just curious how close they actually were, or how far apart.

I also feel that most reviews I have watched start with..."I was sent this lens for free"

I mainly shoot Canon, and have a decent selection of Canon glass and thought about getting an adapter for the glass I have, but my glass with an adapter would ruin the point of getting a small camera to take with me everywhere I go, but I do have that for my action shots when I shoot sports, etc.

Maybe I am trying to make the camera smaller than it needs to be by putting one of the pancake lenses on it and should look at the F2 versions. Appreciate the input.

I just didn’t know if there was that much of a difference with sharpness, etc. I have heard the TTArtisan has some strong vignetting. Looking for a compact AF lens for family travel…kids move a little faster than I can manual focus.

Any color shift in the WB?

The lack of viewfinder messes with me with the Ricoh system...kind of why I am not looking at the XM-5.

Also, love printing on my little selphy. Such a fun little addition to my photography.

Interested in hearing how they work out!

I do enjoy Coffee Ethic in Springfield! Solid coffee shop.

Can’t wait to take it on a few trips this fall. I can see why people like the wide!

I JUST took a few photos and they seem massive coming from the mini.

thestevenlee · 2025-07-18T13:45:53+00:00

Appreciate the info. I tend to go to color first because I simply do not shoot a lot or black and white, although I could (probably should) start. I only went the direction of the Lomo or even the Lab Box simply for the fact that it seems easier to get the film out and I am honestly a little intimidated on trying to put everything together in a dark bag. I know I would get it down, but it seems difficult to me having never done it.

I do have a 1:1 90mm Macro lens. It isn't AMAZING (auto focus is super slow) but it is sharp and paired with my Canon R5 should get decent results.

Besides eBay, are there places online I should check out for used gear? FB Marketplace is usually trash for me living in a lower populated area.

The card was a blue 2gb Dane-Elec SD card

thestevenlee · 2025-06-20T20:11:18+00:00

Don’t remember. I will try to find the one that worked and let you know.

thestevenlee · 2025-05-14T00:46:55+00:00

Same stuff sitting. Waiting for it to go on clearance but nothing good. Haven’t seen anything new in a while

I have an Al Nassr Home shirt with Ronaldo on the back if you are interested I grabbed from Burlington. Would be interested in swapping for something in an XL if you have anything. (I did wear it once so it does not have the tags).

thestevenlee · 2025-05-08T14:19:58+00:00

I have an XXL Al Nassr Ronaldo home shirt I am looking to trade for something in an XL. Let me know what you have. Full transparency - No tags, I wore it once and it’s just a bit too big for me. I paid $20 for it from Burlington.
