Yes
Just bought one on a whim beause I miss the pancake lens I used to have on Canon in the past.

I noticed it has no aperture ring but apart from that is it good ?
 
It's a little cracker, nice and sharp even wide open. Noisey little thing though, if that matters

Fully agree, the only difficulty I had was the lens cap was fiddly and I eventually lost it.
I replaced it with a UV filter and don't bother with a cap at all now.
Other than that its a cracking little lens

Thanks, will keep that in mind. I have a bunch of filters but no doubt none will fit it lol. Oh well

I get those all the time no worries :D I have been trying to curb it though ;)

The 27mm has an odd filter thread, 39mm - you can of course use step down rings if you find it hard to find any that size

Here's a good review on it:

It was the first Fuji lens I bought when I had the XT1, and I enjoyed it but did trade up for the 35mm 1.4 not long after. That ended up being my favorite on the Fuji system until I switched, might just have to get another for the H1

I think it's a great little lens - it's sharp, lightweight and compact - and goes beautifully with the smaller Fuji bodies. 40mm is quite a useful FL and I've never found the lack of focus ring an issue. I use mine alot.
