Quick autofocus, sharp, and fairly compact

Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2022

Love this focal length. I love shooting with wide angle lenses, and this is the perfect one. The distortion isn't too severe even at the 8mm, but perfect for what I need it for. I'm fairly new to the Fuji system (from Canon full frame), and love how compact these lenses are. The autofocus is quick and reliable on my H2s and its an extremely sharp lens. Highly recommend it!

Extraordinary lens

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2019

I love this lens. Excellent for wide angle work, landscape photography, and even astrophotography. It's my new favorite lens for my Fuji XT3.

Yes, it's a little heavy, and it's too expensive (but I got it for $1,300 as a "Like New" used (probably a return) condition.

But it's an awesome lens, and I'm going to sell my 10-24 f/4.

Amazed, it was a no brainer when the price dropped.

At $1,999 it was difficult to justify, and it made sense to just go with a different lens. I checked back a couple weeks later to purchase the 10-24mm and noticed that the price dropped to $1,499... I picked it up without hesitation. Now thinking about it, I'd buy it at $1,999. Great lens, super wide, super crisp. It's by no means a portrait lens but the 2.8 had some beautiful pictures of my pup. I can't wait to take this traveling! Also - I might start offering real estate photography... it blew me away!

Not too big..

Optics are flawless in my very unprofessional opinion. Most important thing is that I thought it was going to be really big, based on all the comments.. Not really. see it on my xt-1 onto the palm of my hand. There's really no other worthy option at $1500 discounted price. Even the little prime 10mm Voighlander which is 5.6 would cost around $900 or the 14 2.8 fuji would be $1000..No filters is not a deal breaker for me so this is the one.

Interesting perspective

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2023

Ergonomics: it is heavy, huge, and unbalanced on a small body like the xpro3. A two handed hold is necessary: one on the body and one to support the lens. The bulbous front element protrudes when set on the wide end. To protect it, I always carry it set to 16mm.

I use it at its widest most of the time with the near field (the object) greatly exaggerated but keeping the background in focus. It is an interesting perspective. On the wide end, there is some distortions but I like it. At the 16mm end, I use it mostly for portrait. I am familiar with this perspective as I have been using the 16mm f2.8 lens for some time. I basically use this focus length as my “normal” lens with my xpro3. Surprisingly, I don’t use the wide angle for landscape: it takes in too much for me to control the composition.

When I travel, I often pack only this lens since I got it.

Legit lens

I love this lens. Is it worth the money? Not really.
Maybe on sale. If the focus and zoom ring didn't feel so cheap and loose it could be worth more. But overall it does look good.

Better than the Nikon 14-24

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

This lens is amazing. I’m using it on an X-T4 with superb results. As sharp as or better than the Nikon 14-24mm on the D850. I’m seeing much less color fringing with the Fuji lens. The only downside is its size/weight and inability to attach filters.

Just what I needed!

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2021

I photograph my own listings and I've been waiting to purchase this lens and finally did! I went out last evening and shot some awesome shots of the "Bean"! I used it together with my Fuji XT-4. I own a couple versions of Tamron's 10-24mm which I use together with my D500 Nikon when shooting my listings. There is no way my pictures would have looked this good with my Tamron's and I know the D500 if not optimal for landscapes but I've been waiting to jump into the Fuji mirrorless world. Now, I'm glad I did! I can't wait to shoot my next listing!

What a lens

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

I resisted this lens when to was released as, for me, $2000.00 was a bit steep for my budget. Then a price drop and I thought why not? As reviewers have said it's heavy but so is the Fujinon 16-55mm and it is not stabilized. This lens is razor sharp throughout it's range even at f2.8 and I hardly notice it's weight even on my XH1 body.

What more is there to say?

I don't regret the purchase and had I the chance to handle it when first released I'm sure I'd have bought it then.

Nuff said.

High Quality Lens - Somewhat expensive, but well worth the money.

Excellent lens. Expensive, but worth it for those who need a high quality lens that provides very good light gathering capabilities in this focal length. Shipping was on time, and lens came with all of the original documentation.
