Fujifilm XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR Lens
Ultra-wide angle zoom with a constant maximum aperture of F2.8 In order to provide an ultra-wide angle zoom of 8-16mm (equivalent to 12-24mm in 35mm format) at a constant maximum aperture of F2.8, this lens uses an impressive 20 elements in 13 groups. This includes four aspherical lens elements to control distortion and spherical aberration, and six ED lens elements including three super ED elements to control lateral chromatic aberration. This design results in advanced image-resolving performance across the zoom range while maintaining a constant maximum aperture of F2.8. Field curvature correction mechanism In order to correct field curvature, typically found with ultra-wide angle lenses, this lens features a correction element which adjusts according to the position of the zoom in order to achieve edge-to-edge sharpness. Double Nano-GI Coating The rear surface of the two front lens elements is treated with Nano-GI coating to eliminate ghosting and flare, caused by oblique light, creating clear images. Silent and fast autofocus The lens uses linear motors for autofocus to achieve quiet and ultra-fast AF. Advanced construction that withstands various shooting conditions The barrel is sealed at 11 places to make the lens resistant to dust, moisture, and low temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius. The front lens element is coated with fluorine to repel water and dirt, adding extra durability so that the lens can be used outdoors with peace of mind. Accessories Ultra-wide angle lenses have large front element protrusion and cannot be fitted with a regular lens cap. The FLCP-8-16 front lens cap is specifically designed for this lens and will be released on the market at the same time as the lens.

When I saw the low price on this lens, I figured that it was another piece of rubbish like the Rokinon 300mm. However, someone gave it a decent rating and I took a chance. Now, each time I use the lens, I can't believe how good it is! I'm using the Fujifilm XC 50-230mm lens at a daytime shutter speed set at 1/500th sec and letting the ISO automatically wander up to ISO 1600, but most shots were under ISO 800 even on an overcast day. All shots were hand-held. Image Quality - Overall, Image Quality is there! Building and sign edges are generally sharp right out of the camera. The eyes of birds and squirrels are sharp. Detail is evident in the feathers of birds. Exposure - under overcast skies, photos tend to be a bit dark, but improve with the EV adjustment. ... MoreWhen I saw the low price on this lens, I figured that it was another piece of rubbish like the Rokinon 300mm.

Detail is evident in the feathers of birds. Exposure - under overcast skies, photos tend to be a bit dark, but improve with the EV adjustment. Saturation - excellent, as can be expected with a Fuji equipment! Handling - quite good, the lens is much lighter than I thought it would be. It balances well with even a small Fuji camera. The zoom ring and the manual focus ring are smooth, up to Fuji standards and easy to use. Oddly, there is NO aperture ring. Focusing - quick, I didn't experience any delays. Low burst mode shots stayed crisp and on focus. Night Shots - I shot outdoor Christmas decorations (hand-held) as long as 1/5 sec at ISO 800-1600. I was blown away! Night photos have good sharpness and detail. Setting ISO to a maximum of ISO1600 gave great results; if you don't set an upper limit and use auto ISO, the camera will shoot as high as ISO 3200 which still produced good results, but I preferred ISO 1600. Comparison #1- Rokinon (Samyang) Reflex 300mm f/6.3 ED UMC CS Lens - the Rokinon lens is utter GARBAGE. All photos, even in sunlight, are disappointingly soft. Comparison #2 - Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75-300mm f/4.8-6.7 II Lens (on a micro 4/3 system) - a much more expensive lens - it's better than the Rokinon lens but still images were soft and disappointing, and nowhere as sharp as the Fuji lens (even factoring in the bigger sensor on the Fuji). Recommendation - Buy it! I kept mine. This lens produces good photos at a long focal length at a ridiculously low price. Someone said that the lens is good for the price. I say, the lens is good - period! I wish that B&H allowed us to upload more than 2 photos - I would like to say in photos what I was trying to say in words. Both attached photos were cropped but NOT further edited - Canada Goose 1/500 sec, f/6.7, ISO 800, EV +0.67 @ a distance of 65 feet, overcast sky - Frosty 1/8 sec, f/5.8, ISO 1600, EV 0 (handheld!) @ a distance of 50 feet, nighttime

Yes, I would have loved to feel I could afford the XF faster and more sturdily built equivalent of this lens, but I couldn't, so I decided to take a chance. Haven't regretted it for a second. I don't bang my lenses around or manhandle them when mounting them on the camera, so I haven't found the plastic housing and mount to be a problem at all. Would I prefer the faster XF? Yes--but f/4.5-6.7 still gives me decent performance for most of the conditions I encounter. I do wish it had an aperture ring rather than requiring me to adjust aperture through one of the camera dials, but that's a minor quibble. The bottom line is that it's affordable and has excellent image quality. As another reviewer said, it's not just a good lens for the price; it's a good lens--period.

Pros: I have several Fuji lenses, but did not buy this one as it had a poor review. That was only one, so after two years I risked it, though I was worried - was I wasting my money? The lens is fantastic. It IS sharp, a great carry-around, and I just wish this had been my first lens! My favourite of all is the 50-140, but it is not possible to tell which of those lenses took a particular photo. It may not be as sharp in the corners wide open to a pixel-peeper with a loupe as the 50-140, but I'm not bothered. It takes sharp, contrasty photos.Cons: The ONLY thing I don't like is that at the long end it extends too much. That's the design, though, and I will happily live with it.

Fuji's entry-level zoom, being considerably cheaper than the 55-200 (and let's not even get into the 50-140), while covering the largest focal range. To do this, they had to make several concessions: - It's a very slow lens, going from f/4.5 to f/6.7. - Plastic finish, from barrel to bayonet. The plastic looks to be high quality, and I've used and abused plastic-mount lenses for years without them ever breaking, so it shouldn't be a problem. It just doesn't feel on the level of the rest of Fuji's lineup. - You only get a zoom and a focus ring. Aperture and OIS must be controlled in-camera. - It doesn't come with an real Fuji rear lens cap, just a semi-transparent cover that stays on via friction. This doesn't mean it's a bad lens. Quite the contrary! - The most ... MoreFuji's entry-level zoom, being considerably cheaper than the 55-200 (and let's not even get into the 50-140), while covering the largest focal range.

Quite the contrary! - The most important thing, optical quality is very good for the price, with sharp results and relatively well-controlled aberrations. - Both rings feel just right. Tight enough to feel decisive, but easy enough to turn. - Internal focusing and a non-rotating front element, which makes it perfect to use with filters. It also has a 58mm filter size, which makes interchanging filters and caps with both the XC16-50 and the XF18-55. - Includes a lens hood. It's reversible for easier storage, but sadly the interior is just matte plastic. Works well enough. If you're not going to shoot portraits, sports, or low-light work, or want a just-in-case telephoto, this is a good option. I'd recommend two things: Wait for one of fuji's common temporary price drops (it can go down to $200), and go for the black one. The silver color doesn't match very well the Titanium of the X-T1, or the silver of the X-T10/X-E2. Although both are silver, the painted plastic takes a different appeareance from the magnesium of the bodies. It's also not that resistent, I scratched the finish a bit on its first outing.
Usually shoot primes but I had to pick this up for a specific job and had some fun with it. Images aren't great to be honest, but they're passable. Contrast isn't very good and it's not as sharp as others. Sealing is terrible. Mine has dirt in it already. But hey, it's $400 and the range is crazy good. Image stabilization is great. It's the best zoom lens you can get without spending a grand. If you're using it purely for utility, it's great.
I went on a photo tour to shoot Milky Way and Start Trail. The recommended wide angle lens is 10mm to 16mm full frame, and with aperture at F2.8 or lower. I don't own a winde angle lens and was not sure I want to invest thousands of dollars in it. I decided to rent one. It arrived on time with great packages and return slip. Everythingwas easy and convinient. I will consider to rent again if needed.
Expensive and heavy. Would probably have gone for the more practical and more affordable 10-24 f4 without the $500 discount. But if those are not your concerns, this is a freakin' awesome wide angle zoom. Would have killed for this when I was a working professional photog. Oh, well. My favorite wide was my Nikon 24mm f2. This is even better. Yeah. And much bigger. You get what you're willing to carry. Face it. The 10-24 doesn't fit in your shirt pocket anyway. Fuji has some lovely wide and fast primes. Ooh! that 16mm f1.4? Just depends what you want. But 8mm wide (well, 12mm full frame)? This is amazing.
I rented this lens very last-minute. Got hired for a gig last-minute…and then sunk some of the money in a lens rental.Customer service was exemplary. I called on a Thursday morning to confirm they could get it to me by Friday, and they were confident they could. And they did.Image quality? Great. Not a complaint there. I just ended up using it a bit less than I'd hoped. Partly because the subject matter ended up not needing that much, and partly because this thing is huge. This thing is massive. This lens puts the lie to the marketing promise of mirrorless cameras (and crop sensor cameras) being smaller and lighter. This thing on my Fuji X-H1 was very cumbersome, and I cannot image how poorly it would balance on a smaller camera. This is one of those lenses that ... MoreI rented this lens very last-minute.

This thing on my Fuji X-H1 was very cumbersome, and I cannot image how poorly it would balance on a smaller camera. This is one of those lenses that calls for a battery grip on the camera to help give you extra handles.And to go along with the heft: surprisingly fiddly lens cap. Only goes on in a certain way. Not easy to pop on and off in the field.
I've been only using this for the last 24 hours and I must say I am really impressed. Used for both stills and video and it is perfection. I love the 35mm f1.4 but this focal length is very versatile and I even used it for some portrait shots and it turned out great. I must say that if you want an all around lens, you should consider this. I use my 16-55 f2.8 before but not I guess I will use this even more. I'll need the 16mm f1.4 so I can cover a wide angle shot if I am travelling lightly. Best feature, it is tact SHARP and AF is just 100% accurate. Never had a missed focus. The color rendering is great too and for video, oh man, it is gorgeous.
This lens is often unfairly underrated among the Fuji lineup, yet it's a very useful tool for anyone who is interested in reducing weight of their photo bag. It reminds me of the old Nikon 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G VR DX AF-S ED: lightweight, sharp and definitely not overpriced. The lens balances well on the X-T20. The center of the picture is pretty sharp even an the widest aperture, and at f/8 it's sharp all over to corners. The lens nicely renders colors. One strange effect of this lens though - the photos come out somewhat darker than when using XF 18-55. Knowing that I usually ramp a bit up exposure compensation. Works like a charm. Focusing speed is not the best in the world (especially when it gets darker) if you're trying to focus on the subject lacking contrast ... MoreThis lens is often unfairly underrated among the Fuji lineup, yet it's a very useful tool for anyone who is interested in reducing weight of their photo bag.

I would not use this lens to capture birds in flight or the dogs running around. But for landscapes it's just terrific. And at daylight this lens produces nice portraits. Of course one's got to be careful handling the lens because of its plastic mounting plate. But I am habitually pretty careful with all my lenses, and so far they serve me well. I would absolutely recommend this lens to my friends.
