[f/1.2] I’ve been wanting to get into astrophotography for some time but my current lens collection didn’t give me the depth to be able to do so. Not anymore...this lens is amazing and captures the night sky crisp and clear. And as others have stated, the bokeh is pretty amazing. An expensive lens for sure but a must for your kit.

[Autofocus] I have a Nikon Z30 and originally just the kit lens. I wanted something with a lower F-stop and autofocus so I could get more of that “cinematic” (trigger word I know) look to my shots. Primarily I film Tiktoks/Reels for some short form music content for myself. I didn’t want to spent a ton of money and didn’t know where to start and lucky for me I found this lens.

I’m very much an amateur and have no idea what I’m doing but if you’re here looking to get something more out of your shots I highly recommend this lens. BUT, before you doing anything at all lens wise GET LIGHTS. Cheap ones are fine I spent $80 on 2 lights and it changed everything. Then after that, if you still feel like you need somewhere to start like me, and on a budget, then this is the product.

[58 mm (Front)] Great results for both photo and video. Even wide open the lens acceptably sharp for photos. For video the results wide open are excellent.

[f/16] I love this lens. It is fast. Super sharp. The focal length is really great. The bokeh is really nice as well. this is my favorite fuji lens without a doubt.

[f/1.2] First of all, I bought XT-5 along with Sigma 18-50 recently after being a long time Canon full frame shooter. I really like to see how the Fuji lens perform. I picked this one after seeing YT and other sources. Now after two weeks, I have to say I love the build quality and outcomes, the F1.4 gives the best sharp/blur contract I ever had, closeness to the objects is big for me, the ring to switch the auto/manual and much more. The images is perfect both in sharpness and colors. Now I am happy that I have a much lighter gear to carry with to ever vacation.

[Autofocus] This lens has of course been around for many years now, so you know everything you want to about it. But I just finally got my own and I can absolutely say it lives up to the legend! I tend to shoot close up details, street scenes, landscapes, and dabble in astrophotography all as a novice enthusiast, and this lens ticks every box for everything I want to do. There's just something about this lens that makes me want to go out and shoot all the time, and in the end isn't that the point?

[Autofocus] I am an amateur photographer who dedicates myself only to capturing beautiful family memories. For the use I give my equipment, it seems excellent. Happy with the purchase.

[Autofocus] I love how this lens feels on my X-E2s. So many reviews claim that its big and heavy; dont let that scare you. I was worried the XF 16mm would be too big for the X-E2s, but it feels awesome, like a hardy tool. This lens does it all. I use it for street, landscapes and life/documentary. It has cured my Gear Acquisition Syndrome because any time Im interested in a new fixed lens camera, or another lens, I cant justify the purchase because this lens already makes stellar pictures in a wide variety of situations. I was especially surprised by the exceptional colors and contrast. Auto focus hunts in low light, but the easy manual mode fixes that. Bokeh is beautiful at f1.4. This lens is so versatile, I imagine the only other lens youd need in your kit is a telephoto zoom.

[f/1.2] Amazing minimal close focusing distance and fast autofocus (on x-pro3). Images are tack sharp and image quality is on par with Sony's lenses. While it is comparably a larger lens than the Fuji f/2 primes, I do not consider it a large lens at all coming from a past Sigma 35mm Art owner and current Sony A7Rii user. Build quality is amazing and paired with the metal hood this is a winner.

[58 mm (Front)] Very impressed by this lens at this price. Shipped quickly, great packing, works great!


Needed better wide angle, now, I have it!
