Fujifilm XF 8-16 mm F2.8 R LM WR

An excellent lens. Super sharp images and smooth operating actions. Yes it’s pretty heavy but that’s what you expect from quality glass. On my xt3 with a battery grip though it balances very nicely.

Many Cons. are about price and weight ... but I take in mind ... this is APS-C lens is 8-16mm F2.8 = 35mm equivalent 12-24mm F2.8 !! ... and compare this lens with Nikon or Canon ... There is nothing to complain ... such a quality cannot not be build otherwise ... a Toyota Landcruiser can not be build like a middleclass 4 wheel drive

The Fujifilm XF 8-16mm f/2.8 is an optically solid lens that renders sharp and vibrant images. The only downside is its heavy weight when attached to my X-T30 but it is okay. I attach it with a monopod for portability. Overall it is a reliable camera lens to use.

Good Points: Incredible performance and it covers for 3 prime lenses, Improvement Points: Price!

The 8mm focal length is the widest available for Fujifilm’s  X-mount cameras and its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture matches the company’s fastest prime lens, the XF 14mm f/2.8 R. The zoom range and speed of this lens make it ideal for landscape and architectural photography, particularly in situations where the exaggerated perspective of the short focal lengths is valued. It could also be useful for shooting night-scapes and astrophotography. Weatherproof sealing makes it tough enough to be used in inclement conditions when paired with a similarly-sealed camera, like the new X-T4 (which includes 6.5-stop image stabilisation) or the X-T3.
