I've been looking at options for an inconspicuous walk-around camera 
with full features.  I'm happy with the Fuji X-E1 camera body, but the 
kit lens is too large for daily use.  Reviews of the Fujinon 27/2.8 
Pancake are glowing, except for the price.  I was able to snag one at 
38% off list, new, from Japan.  It arrived today and I wanted to see 
what a few quick shots could tell me.

I selected this shot to examine distortion and detail, in my back yard.  
I did my usual tuning to the RAF file, converted it to TIFF, then 
resized it for the LUG gallery.  No other cropping, noise reduction or 
sharpening were applied.  I am quite pleased with what I see.
