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

I purchased this Lens from Wex Norwich in October 2019 along with the XH-1 I'd pre-ordered and Fujifilm happened to have their roadshow on at the same time, I tried various XF lenses but the minute I picked up the XF 8-16/2.8 display lens I knew I had to buy it and the Lady Fujifilm representative let me buy the display lens I was holding complete with its box at a great discount, its probably the best lens I've ever owned both for its resolution and range and the solid construction of it, the only two downsides are its weight and the inability of using filters screwed on owing to the front element design, I've taken many images using Fujifilms film simulations via Capture One and it really is a great lens to use, I couldn't imagine being without this lens now

Small, Very Sharp with lovely contrast. Top quality build. nd mm f. ive owned. I sold the first one and instantly regretted it. This packs nicely with my other primes - and takes next to no room in my bag. Well worth the money, even if its not used much its in my bag without spending big bucks.

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.
