The black XF 27mm f/2.8 Lens from Fujifilm is an extremely compact (2.41 x 0.91 "), lightweight (2.75 oz) prime lens with a versatile 35mm equivalent focal length of 41mm. It provides a 55.5 angle of view. The lens has a maximum aperture of f/2.8 and is effective in low light situations and able to create a shallow depth of field. The lens stops down to f/16 in 1/3 EV stops.

Fast and precise autofocus is provided by a built-in, high-torque DC coreless motor and its single metal lens ring offers accurate manual focus capability. An aspherical lens element minimizes aberrations for sharp overall imaging and its 7 rounded-blade diaphragm brings with it a pleasing out-of-focus area. Fujinon 's HT-EBC lens coating reduces reflections at a wider wavelength and minimizes flares and ghosting. Its minimum focus distance is 13.4 "
