Fujifilm has finally launched the long awaited xf 8-16 mm f2.8 wide angle lens
\nFrankly, I have been waiting a long time for this lens<\/p>\n

I have always loved the wide angle perspective of my photos
\nAnd have missed it since I move to Fujifilm<\/p>\n

So you can\u2019t imagine how happy I am when I got my hands on the lens<\/p>\n

But I have to leave for a trip immediately after I got the lens from Fujifilm Singapore
\nI am still overseas now , but can\u2019t wait to just share some images and thoughts of this lens, now that I got a proper working wifi.<\/p>\n

all images (except for the image of the lens) are taken with the xf 8-16 mm lens at 8 mm<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

the lens is surprisingly light and small..
\nI was actually expecting something bulkier..
\nWill take a photo of this against the xf 10-24 mm as soon as I got home
\nThe build of the lens is great and its also weather resistant.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The lens controlled the wide angle distortions very well
\nand vignetting is very minimal, which can be a problem for alot of ultra wide angle lenses<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

its great even for shooting humans with very minimal distortions<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

This is just a short sharing of images taken with the lens<\/p>\n

a quick after thought about it, after using it for 2 days<\/p>\n

-focus is fast
\n-distortion is well controlled
\n-vignetting is minimal
\n-at f2.8, its perfect for night or astro photography (will try this out soon)
\n-the build is good, and its weather resistant<\/p>\n

I did not have a chance to try the lens at f2.8 yet
\nBut will definitely post it here, once I got the chance to do it<\/p>\n

I definitely love the lens
\nand it will definitely be in my bag for all my future photography needs<\/p>\n

will post more about this amazing lens when I am back in Singapore , and after I got more images with it<\/p>\n

more images here<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
