Pros: AF, WR, sharpness, minimum distance, nanocrystal, distortions, colors, star effect, focus ring with manual possibility.

Cons: Lampshed, rings, metal, chromatic aberrations, maybe weight and size.

Opinion: I had the Fuji 10-24 Fuji 14 Fuji 16-55 eventually sold all for the 16 1.4 Fuji. Pros: Fairly fast and very precise focus and extremely quiet no noise, sharpness made impressive already at f2.8 very high becomes amazing at f4/f5.6 an excellent optics up to the out outer corners with spectacular micro contrasts, the nano crystal does an excellent work in counterlight contrasts remain high, temperature color quite warm certainly warmer than the excellent Fuji 14 f2.8, focus really extremely close macro photography with wide angle. Cons: Unworthy light rail for this lens bought Fuji LH-XF 16 light rail for the 16 f1.4 I would say great metal lampshh really very nice, very high chromatic aberrations difficult to remove from the most open diaphragms in certain situations backlight too high longitudinal chromatic aberration, diaphragm ring too fluid perhaps too metal with time wear the black color disappears, questionable dimensions would have built a 16 f2 Fuji result would have been more compact instead Fuji to choose two lines the 16 f1.4 and the 16 f2.8. An extremely recommendable lens the best wide angle currently available for the Fuji system in the future we see the new 18 1.4.

Pros: Sharpness, aperture construction, autofocus

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I bought it now some time ago, I use it on X T1, and I consider it one of the best goals Fujinon. The lens is well built, all in metal, with non-continuous aperture rings, as on 18 55 for example. The autofocus is extremely fast, it can hook both to closed diaphragms such as F8, and even precisely, both to my amazement, with closed diaphragms and a filter nd 10 stop in front. I read reviews where you write that the lens has enough distortion, which also compares to Samyang 12 F2... The Samyang has distortions that looks like a fisheye, and is a lens that I own and use, but there is no comparison: the 16mm f1.4 of the Fuji is famous, as well as for the optics, currently among the best in Fuji home, also to be an extremely correct wide angle , from the point of view of distortion, absolutely not present... It ' a perfect lens, razor sharp, extremely bright, correct, built fine, tropicalized, has a close focus, about 15 cm, which thanks to the large opening allows, among other things, excellent shots with beautiful blurred. Being a top lens, it also has the focus ring with lock on infinity and on the 15 cm, another sign to be a pro lens. The only drawback, if you can say so, the lens hood that is plastic, albeit very good. I solved by buying a rectangular metal lens hood. Nothing to say, an almost perfect lens, although I use different kits also FF with lenses respectable, this is one of the best ever.

Pros: AF speed, construction, minimum focusing distance (15cm!)

Cons: The focus, both manual and AF, is really noisy (it even transmits a very strong vibration that feels clearly holding the camera in hand; weight,

Opinion: I do not agree with who says the defect of this lens is the hood and the cap. I claim that I have this objective so soon, so I have not been able to verify its sharpness and the presence of any aberrations, and that I do not know similar goals of other brands so my judgments are merely a consideration of what I would like from a similar objective, although without knowing what the market offers. The defects I have found are: the noisy focus (both manual and automatic) and weight. The benefits are: brightness, minimum focusing distance, excellent construction and speed of the fly. Rating: 9

Pros: Construction, block ring MAF, sharpness all over the frame even at full aperture, maximum aperture aperture, minimum distance of MAF, resistance to discrete flare, WR, AF, balancing on Fuji bodies.

Cons: Important Coma at full aperture, slight distortion, plastic lens hood.

Opinion: It is an excellent lens that excels for construction and some optical features among which stands out the extremely reduced minimum focusing distance, about 15 centimeters, which allows you to go in beautiful close-up shots. It presents a lot of coma to f/1.4 that boils down to F/2 to almost disappear to 2.8, making it all in all one of the best lenses for the night in Fuji home, unlike what you think.

Pros: Sharpness, colors, overall quality, autofocus

Cons: A bit bigger than the Fuji machine bodies

Opinion: Fantastic goal, perfection made wide-angle in Fuji home. Phenomenal constructive quality, optical perfection: no aberrations even at 1.4, where the bokeh in close proximity is also very pleasant, stunning sharpness at the center and very good at edges. I think it's equivalent (if not even slightly better as sharpness) at 24 1.4 L II on Canon, I had for 4 years. The only "defect", like the brother Canon, has coma up to 2.8. Autofocus (on XT1) is very quick and accurate. I used it a year with great satisfaction, I'm trying to sell it only because of its not compact size, a bit against mirror mirroring philosophy. If the value was a shorter moment I could not separate it.

Pros: construction, sharpness, WR, minimum focusing distance

Cons: largest 14mm

Opinion: My favorite lens X. Sharp even at the edges, even at full aperture. Not tiny (similar to 56mm). Focal: great for landscapes for those who prefer the wide compared to super-ultra-wide; usable for portraits ambientati a bit ' "caricatures" with blurred background. Aims to landscapes, I would prefer the 14mm, which is more compact with quality comparable to small aperture (and perhaps is the focal "perfect" for landscapes). However the possibility of opening a 1.4 XF16mm makes the most interesting in terms of creativity and usability of the shots in low light. Best lens for me since I use Fuji X.

Pros: Sharpness apotheosis, solid, raincoat, light ... etc., etc., etc.,

Cons: I still do not know

Opinion: ... Recommend mutual friend Max, after seeing its Asian reportage, this morning I got up the whim but also because I had the need for a wide-angle WR, in a famous shop in the center of Florence I bought it. I immediately made a dozen test shots at apertures and I came home. Once you open the files with PS I was flabbergasted, a resolution F1.4 f2 and f2.8 stunning with a blurred by German optics. To think that in many years of photography is like I have pasted the aperture ring to 5.6 because this was the maximum aperture that I adoperavo even though I had professional optics. I must say that Fuji really made me go back to the periods (30 years ago) in which I was using a Leitz optics M6 and then the desire to try new shots. Not hear even the need for a stabilization for the reason of the above. Thanks Maxphotoparker thanks Fuji ...

Pros: Extreme sharpness, construction, light weight allows you to take even a short time despite the absence of stabilization, weather sealing, ring aperture, manual mechanism for maf

Cons: only one and the same: the hood did not live

Opinion: I was undecided whether to buy 16-55, 10-24 or this 16mm. Eventually having found a 18-55 in excellent condition with very low price convinced me to opt for the 16mm. I would never go back, this 16mm is probably the best product fixed by Fuji. The sharpness that returns from the center to the edges even at full aperture is something incredible. Combined with good performance at high ISO sensor trans-x allows you to make great pictures in low light without using flash or tripod. I come from a 35mm 1.4 which we all know is a big goal, but here we are on other levels as quality ottiche.rnGià taking in hand of course to have a serious subject in his hands: all built in metal still retains a weight that allows you to hold firmly the x-t1 and shoot with relatively quickly without having moved. The aperture ring has been made more robust and now gives a good grip without moving at the slightest touch as it does on older lenses (14,23,35). The front cap seems more & ugrAve; robust and better anchored to the lens. Unfortunately the hood is always the same piece of plastic that comes off easily, but it also said that the lens is very much resistant to flare, then you can safely leave in borsa.rnHo stock market also but I think the great handyman 18-55 16mm that this will become my real handyman left always glued to the machine.

Pros: Virtually all or almost

Cons: Hood ugly and cumbersome. No longer distinguishable from the machine! Be careful!!!))))))

Opinion: As we have become the Fuji has accustomed us, this XF 16mm and 'a small masterpiece of engineering. Solid, all metal and glass, ergonomic and made exciting !!! The sharpness, contrast and color reproduction are amazing at every opening and every millimeter of the frame !!! A glass really well done and well managed. The focal length of 16mm (24 ff) and 'a focal very apt for street photography (in my opinion) because you can "get us into a lot of things" in the photos and offers interesting perspectives but not extreme. I tried to shoot with the camera at chest height, in iperfocale to f8 and all that 'between one meter to infinity and fire and "very sharp" and more .rnIn' "weather resistant" which, coupled the X-T1, make a fighting machine to use and always dovunque.rnLe flaws, or perhaps as I wrote in contrast, the peculiarities typical of all lenses Fuji are in my opinion the aperture ring that remains very soft and therefore wheel even with minimal friction even accidental. The lens hood even if not 'a fundamental and' still not up to the optics. One thing in metal type 35mm and 18mm would be more to my liking. Being a lens just launched on the market price 'high ($ 1,000) and therefore this can be counted among the against and between the peculiarities of the house in Fuji Optical pro. The fact remains that a 16mm F1.4 of this bill and this quality is not a thousand dollars in any home (Nikon, Canon, Sony etc). So as they say, the quality is paga.rnHo given a vote of 10 to this goal and I think perhaps the most successful of the entire line XF. Straconsigliato.rnMax

Pros: tropicalization, focus, brightness, building, size

Cons: weight, price, manual focus, size

Opinion: I am writing this review a few days of its purchase, basically because I had to make sure everything went for meglio.rnHo took this objective without thinking so much as for the new emerging systems ML was the only candidate to replace (both the focal for brightness) my honored 24L mkII.rnrnLe size I included both pro and con because analyzing various factors, and depending on what you may be looking for an advantage or a flaw, for me is a PRO for the fact that coming from a kit professional Canon weight is less so as the ingombri.rnPuo be a counter if you're trying to build a kit minimalistic compatto.rnrnIl feeling with the focal it was love, but I'm biased since I took for years only with 24mm and so it was a return to the roots, after three months from the sale of the kit Canon, I missed a wide-angle X100S although I have never done anything to miss. When you are used to calculate the scene from a particular point of view it is difficult to learn usefulzzare other focal lengths especially if more lunghe.rnrnNel my last report in Texas with the few exits 5D and 24 have been really stressful because of the dimensions that nn always allowed me to move in peace and serenity, more reason to push me without remorse to have a lighter and more basso.rnrnLo blurred the profile is not as heavily on FF and not as graduale.rnrnI colors are in line with other great Fujinon, and with them keeping the backlight is really high. rnrnCorrezioni aberration and distortion several very he decided, a mold a little chilly compared optics a little more dated, but according to my taste just as fascinating to use reportage and not artistico.rnrnIl bokeh is very much beyond my aspettative.rnrnLa file quality is excellent I noticed that only for people with distances over 5-10mt sharpness degrades and do not see it ideal for landscape photography, but I also noticed in the x100 and I would not be due to software demosaicing. Per everything else exaggerated performance in line with the neo optic professionali.rnrnUnico manual focus, drive-by-wire as the other, being used to the big glass canon was a big blow to cuore.rnSpero images can speak better to My place.
