Fujifilm XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR Review | Dylan Goldby

Fujifilm’s lineup of fast primes is what sets it apart in the world of mirrorless cameras. Starting with the amazing XF 35mm f/1.4, and following up with the XF 23mm f/1.4 and XF 56mm f/1.2, Fuji have continued to impress with their small, lightweight, fast, sharp primes. The XF 16mm f/1.4 (24mm equivalent field of view on full frame), long talked about, was released in May this year to the excitement of many Fuji shooters. But does it hold up to the other primes in Fuji’s lineup? Build Quality & Handling. As with the 23mm and 56mm offerings, the 16mm has a solid metal construction with a lot of glass packed into it’s small frame. It feels good in the hand, unlike the increasing number of plasticky lenses we have been seeing from other manufacturers. The „WR“ in the lens name denotes Weather Resistant, and so far it has been fine in dust and light rain. Overall, this lens feels like the almost $1000 you paid for it……
