My next Fuji project is the brand-new Fujinon XF 8-16mm F2.8 R lens – a super wide angle zoom with a large maximum aperture. This lens one-ups the F4 competitors that Sigma, Sony, and Canon offer with an F2.8 version in a serious, pro-grade build and design. The 8-16mm F2.8 continues Fuji’s recent trend of moving even further upscale in the APS-C space with some very professional, very premium options (the most extreme example being the XF 200mm F2 OIS that I recently reviewed!) The 8-16mm F2.8 also comes with a premium price tag, so I’ll look critically at it to see if it lives up to its price. Stay tuned! In the meantime, you can see the photos I’ve taken with the lens along with some of my video clips as the review process unfolds.
