Fast and wide, the FUJIFILM XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR Lens Reviewis a 24mm-equivalent wide-angle lens designed specifically for FUJIFILM XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR Lens ReviewX-mount mirrorless cameras. Two aspherical and two extra-low dispersion elements are featured in the optical design, and help to reduce spherical and chromatic aberrations for improved sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy. Both a Nano-GI coating and HT-EBC coating are also used to control ghosting and flare for enhanced contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions. Complementing the optics is a floating focus system that benefits autofocus speed and also maintains consistent performance throughout the focusing range. Additionally, the lens body is also weather-sealed to support working in trying environmental conditions.

Wide-angle prime lens is designed for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 24mm equivalent focal length.

Notably fast f/1.4 maximum aperture affords increased control over depth of field and greatly benefits working in low-light conditions.

Two extra-low dispersion elements are used to greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce high clarity and color fidelity.

Two aspherical elements control distortion, curvature of field, and spherical aberrations, which helps to improve sharpness and realize more accurate rendering.

Nano-GI (Gradient Index) coating has been applied to lens elements and alters the refractive index between the glass and air in order to better suppress lens flare and ghosting for diagonal incident light.

HT-EBC coating has also been applied the entire surface of each element to reduce lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.

A quick and quiet autofocus motor pairs with a two-group floating focus system to achieve precise focus and consistent image quality throughout the focusing range, from the 5.9" minimum focusing distance to infinity.

Integrated depth of field scale benefits working with zone focusing and pre-focusing techniques.

Weather-resistant design includes nine different seals in eight areas to prevent dust and moisture from entering the lens and to enable worry-free use in inclement conditions and freezing temperatures as low as 14°F.

Q: 1. Does this lens work on Fujifilm Xpro1? Would you recommend this one or Fujifilm 18mm f/2.0?

A: Yes, it does. i bought for my X-Pro1, and then switched t the X-Pro2. it works perfectly on both cameras. It is really an amazing lens and is top quality optic. i prefer it to the 18mm f/2.0 for several reasons:a 24mm equivalent is a better lens for landscapeIt is one full stop faster than the 18mm, so better in low light conditions and it allows you to create amazing bokehIt is weather resistantHope it helps

Q: 2. does this lens have internal focusing so its length does notching while focusing?

A: Yes, this lens has internal focus.

Q: 3. is this lens good for Alaska?

A: It depends on the type of photography you'll be doing in Alaska. This lens would be great for landscape type photography but not great for the wildlife.

Q: 4. What does WR stand for?

A: WR stands for Weather Resistant . The lens has many seals to protect it from dust and moisture. These lenses will be much more resistant to hard work when used outdoor.

Q: 5. going to Alaska would this be a good lens?

A: It depends on what kind of photography you're doing in Alaska. This lens is great for landscape photos but not great for photographing wildlife.

Q: 6. what does it mean by (35mm equivalent) ?

A: The Fujifilm X series of camera utilizes a smaller APS-C-sized sensor, sometimes referred to as a crop-sensor. What it means is that the focal length given on an XF lens has to be multiplied by 1.5 due to the APS-C sensor, so 16 x 1.5 = 24mm if you were shooting with the larger (full-frame) sensor. Fujifilm does not currently offer a full-frame sensor in their mirrorless line of cameras/lenses. Hope that helps.

Q: 7. how is this lens for Video ? any distortion ?

A: Yes....have used it quite a bit. This is one of the 3 XF lenses that has an option for good manual focus which is preferred for cinema style focus pulling. The other 2 are the 14mm and the 23mm 1.4.

Q: 8. Can I use this to an E-mount camera? If not, is there any adapter for this lens to fit in an E-mount camera?

A: There are some cameras that have adapters that will allow a fuji lens to fit, check out that

Q: 9. Does this XF16mm lens focus at the infinity mark in manual focus mode ?

A: Yes, although I'm not sure I understand the point of the question. When in manual focus mode, pulling the focus clutch towards you reveals the DOF scale and allows the focus ring to move. Using Fuji's focus peaking you can nail the focus, and when focused on infinity, the DOF scale reads infinity.

Q: 10. What kind of photography is this lens suited for the most?

A: This is a great lens for landscape photography. It's 24mmm wide angle equivalent will provide ideal framing for grandiose vistas and provides great depth of field. It is also extremely well suited for nighttime shooting (stars, star trails) thanks to its combination of wide angle and its wide f1.4 opening. It is also useful for group portrait when space is limited.
