16mm f2.8 review by lenstip! Jul 23, 2019. Lenstip finally released the review of the xf 16mm f2.8. From their charts this lens is marvelous in the center even at f2.8 but the borders are soft.

With a full frame equivalent 24mm focal length, the XF 16mm f/2.8 is perfect for shooting travel and landscape photos while on the go. This lens also fills in nicely for candid people photos and a little street photography. The XF 16mm f/2.8 isnāt as fast as Fujiās 16mm f/1.4, but it is nearly 8oz lighter, $600 cheaper, and is an overall
Weather sealed and f2.8.. Equivalent to 24-78mm on full frame so covers 24, 28, 35, 50 & 78mm and all focal lengths in between. Lots of glass so fairly heavy, but worth carrying the weight because the sharpness is absolutely superb. Can check the MTF charts for this lens on the Fuji website. The 16-55 at 16mm and F2.8 is fine for nightscapes. I have used it for that and it works well. Very nice. So does the 18-55 at 18mm F2.8. Both work well.

Launched in September 2012, it delivers a flexible 27-84mm equivalent range taking you from wide-angle to mild telephoto, making it an ideal walk-around lens. The 18-55mm focal length on cropped-frame / APSCWhilst discussing the lens he saw fit to pit it not against the XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4, but his own XF 16-55 f/2.8. The review is very interesting and I recommend it to anyone interested in either one of those lenses..
