So far, an exceptional lens

I am not a photography expert, but learning more as I go. My Fuji Xt-3 came with a 16-80mm kit lens, which I feel is quite good, though you sacrifice some stops on the end, so it's not as bright. After much deliberation and You-Tubing on which prime to get: 16, 23, 35? and what version: the larger, heavier f 1.4's or the lighter 2's, I went with the f/2 35. There's always a trade off: larger lens for better glass and light capture or smaller, lighter lens for less perfect glass (maybe?) and you lose a stop or two. I wanted a lighter lens, and a not too extreme wide angle (the weather sealing is fairly important to me as well). Given infinite resources and time I'd try them all, but the 35, so far is very
nice: super crisp and lets in plenty of light. I'm getting
used to a fixed prime without the ability to zoom, but I'm carrying the camera around all the time now, which is the most important thing. For me, for now, this lens is hitting the sweet spot at price, weight, size and versatility.
Small, light, inconspicuous, and excellent.

Perfectly small, light, wide lens with beautiful blur and sharp, contrasty images. Buy it.

This lens is one of my favorites. Excellent image quality, superior build quality, light and compact, and generally a joy to use. This lens stays on my X-T3 90% of the time and I love the results I get. Must buy.
Great product

Good general use lens for a beginner like me. Well-made, versatile, and the weather-resistance is key.

Great Fujicron lens. Small, but nothing sacrificed. Perfect little package.
Love the click-click-click one-third stops aperture ring.
Wish Fuji would have also made the 16mm F2.8 a 2.0.
enjoying my first prime lens.

I bought this lens with my new X-S10 to take advantage of the in-body stabilization. I am more of a hobbyist and although there is a learning curve from my old XT-10, I'm really enjoying the upgrade. Great lens!

It's glued to my X-T3 most of the time right now, and the results are great. Crisp shots, nice bokeh. It's a great lens for walking around.
Single-focus lens for the first time

I've only used XF 18-55mm lens that came as a kit for my X-E2. It is a fine lens, but it's heavy and I thought I may be missing something when so many people use single-focus lenses. I've had X-E2 for 8 years and wondered if I should buy a new camera. But, instead of going for T-30II (yet), I bought this 35mm. First, I thought it was way too close up. But I took about 100 pictures in 3 days, and began to understand how to position myself to the objects. The results have been fantastic! The pictures turned out sharp, clean and in great vivid natural colors. My phone's camera takes decent photos, but they look over-processed and unnatural when you zoom in. This lens made me re-appreciate X-E2 (it wasn't even on the compatibility list: only down to X-E2s) very much, and I will be using it for a while. I will consider buying XF-16mm sooner or later, too.
