The Fujifilm XF 27mm f2.8 R WR is a compact ‘pancake’ prime lens. It delivers roughly 40mm equivalent coverage for a natural standard field-of-view. It’s an updated version of the 2013 model, now with weather sealing and an aperture ring. It costs $399 or 419 GBP and is available as kit lens option for the X-E4.
Pros
  • Compact size
  • Weather sealing and weather-sealing
Cons
  • No manual focusing ring
  • No aperture ring

Reviewers from pcmag have found:
Fujifilm's XF 27mm F2.8 R WR adds an aperture ring, a must-have for many X system owners. It's a sensible kit option for the slim X-E4, and a lightweight, all-weather add-on for the X-Pro3 and X-T4. It drives quickly, but you'll note some back-and-forth stutter and noise.
Pros
  • Lightweight, compact design
  • Dust and splash protection
  • Automatic focus
  • Lightweight and compact
Cons
  • Slight flare at f/2.8
