Fuji 18mm f/2 R review

 

Fuji's fast 27mm equivalent prime gets tested

Aperture ring with 1/3 click stops ; Non-rotating front element ; Solid feeling build quality

Extends during focusing ; Not weather sealed ; Sharpness falls off in the corners

Corner sharpness isn't great and colour fringing is worse than average but the overall image quality of the Fuji XF 18mm f/2 R is pretty good.

Fujinon XF 18mm f/2 R (Fujifilm) - Review / Test Report

 

The Fujinon XF 18mm f/2 R is certainly a cool little lens for the Fujifilm X-Pro mirrorless system. After all small is beautiful these days. However, performance-wise it is a bit of a mixed bag. The center performance is great throughout the mainstream...

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18mm F2 R

 

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18mm F2 R is showing its age, but is still a good choice for X shooters who prefer lightweight lenses.

Light and compact. Wide angle coverage. Opens up to f/2. Very little vignette.

Omits dust and splash protection. Weak edge performance, even when stopped down. Focus hunts in AF-C.

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18mm F2 R has some marks in its favor. It's quite small and light, covers a classic wide field of view, gathers a heck of a lot of light, and focuses close enough for most shots you want to capture with a 27mm equivalent lens....

Fujifilm XF 18mm F2 R Review

 

The Fujifilm XF 18mm F2 R is one of the oldest lenses in the XF line-up, and optically one of the worst-performing, with significant distortion and chromatic aberrations, plus a lack of center and particularly edge sharpness when shooting wide-open at...

Fujifilm Fujinon 18 mm f/2 Wide Angle Lens for X-mount

 

Granted most wide angle lens today are compact, but for the speed and size this one is hard to beat. They could have made this slightly faster but it has a shallow depth of field that is great for my purposes. The images are very rectilinear and nearly...
