Pros: Excellent sharpness in the center, excellent construction, excellent rings with clicks, excellent apertures, excellent AF, combative and light, excellent flare against light and excellent side light sealing.
Cons: Insufficient brightness for an APS-c lens only f3.5, high electronic correction distortions probably physiological on such an extreme focal length, some chromatic aberration, price, star effect.
Opinion: The 8mm f3.5 Fuji arrived. Pros: Very good sharpness in the center, great construction, great click rings, great apertures, great AF, fight and light, excellent flare against light and excellent side light sealing. Cons: Brightness ? Only f3.5, high electronic correction distortions probably physiological on such an extreme focal length, some chromatic aberration. Unfortunately not very bright but very questionable with this brightness it remains small, compact with excellent flare against light, the question if bright f2.8 increase in size if it improves optically difficult to say on an APS-c sensor with such a small sensor surface I guess physiological limits beyond that you can no longer do better. Some chromatic aberration in difficult light situations, however I would say normal then eventually corrected. Also strong is the internal automatic correction, distortions too high, contrasts seem artificial, the angles are acceptable but definitely not to die for. I also don't find the star effect at all good, disappointing for such an extreme optics, the 8-16 does much better. Price I find it a can high paid 840 euros maybe in the future it still goes down something. I don't give any personal grades but for me it's not worth 10 points. The only alternative to 8mm APS-c remains the 8-16, also bright f2.8, a Premium lens but very heavy, bulky with side light holding problems, it suffers from flare, also difficult to use filters, which however on such an extreme focal length I do not recommend. Note: very difficult to use as a focal length I would certainly use very rarely and let's say here I see an advantage weight and not demanding to carry it around as an extra lens with the 8-16 quite another matter. It's hard to say what best on these extreme focal lengths, however I find an f3.5 brightness lacking for an APS-c lens, but I understand that doing it differently, f2.8 increase size and price. Comparison with FF system I find it difficult Canon RF 14-35 / Nikon Z 14-30 are compact if I calculate Fuji 8mm + a moderate wide angle zoom cost and size ??. |
