Fujinon XF 14mm f/2.8 R

The Fujinon XF 14mm f/2.8 R was one of the first lenses I acquired when I got my X-T1 back in 2014, and it remains a firm favourite. Very sharp, very light, and the build quality and ergonomics are superb.

Since getting the XF 10-24mm f/4 I don’t use it as much as I used to do – the 10-24mm is more flexible and just as sharp, at least to my eyes – but I kept the 14mm as it works well with my infrared converted X-E2 (some other lenses add ghosting and flare, but the 14mm works well throughout the aperture range).

Are there any negatives?

No. If you’re in the market for a wide-angle prime, theFujinon XF 14mm f/2.8 is definitely a lens you should consider.

The following images were shot with an X-T1 or infrared converted X-E2, between mid 2014 and the present. All were shot in RAW, and the vast majority were converted with Camera Raw then processed in Photoshop.
