The Fujifilm XF 23mm f2 is the second model in its compact, weather-sealed f2 series, following the XF 35mm f2; it was later joined by the XF 50mm f2. Like those models, it shares a simple, slightly tapered profile designed to present the least obstruction in the corner of the optical viewfinder on the X-Pro bodies – although of course all X Sadly, the XF 18mm F/2 doesn’t quite have it in many respects. Fuji shooters have smaller and/or optically superior options available. That said, for the interchangeable body owner who really likes 27-28mm in 35mm equivalence, and who wants to add a compact option to their kit, the XF 18mm F/2 is a reasonable choice. Step-Up Filter Adapters: These adapters allow you to use a filter with a larger diameter than the lens’s thread size. For example, if you have a lens with a 52mm thread and a filter of 58mm diameter, a 52-58mm step-up adapter would enable you to attach the filter to the lens. The adapter screws onto the lens’s thread and provides a larger All things considered, the Fujifilm XF 50mm f/2 is a very tempting offer. It combines compactness and a top-notch construction with excellent image quality and the best autofocus performance you can find within the X series. And if that weren’t enough, it is also one of the most affordable primes for the system with a retail price of just $450. Coming to you from Gordon Laing, this great video review compares the new Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens to the popular Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R. The Sigma lens costs about half the same Fuji XF 50mm F/2 Review In depth, unbiased, real-world review of a gem of a lens in the Fujifilm line up - the Fujifilm XF50mm f/2 WR. Find out why it's such a steal for the price. Fujifilm Lens Reviews | Lens Reviews | Photography Gear Reviews | By Greg Cromie It would be great if Fujifilm made a similar lens to the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN C in an XC version, but I don't see that ever happening, unfortunately. I think Sigma said that the 18-50mm f/2.8 would be coming to Fuji towards the end of the year. This. Also remember that the Sigma 18-50 doesn't have OIS. It’s a fantastic lens but it’s much larger and heavier. The dimensions are / 83.3 x 106mm/3.28 x 4.17 in. with the weight being 1.44 lb / 655 g. It also uses a larger 77mm filter. The Sigma loses a little range when compared to the XF 16-55mm but it’s about the same size as Fujifilm’s compact kit lens, the XF 18-55mm f2.8-4 R LM OIS lens. From bokeh to sharpness to nocturnal capabilities, there’s a lot on offer. Fuji’s original set of XF primes included a 50mm equivalent, the XF 35mm F1.4. It didn’t ship with mind-bending specs, but instead, as a lens with exceptional image quality, and compact size. To this day, it remains one of the best lenses in Fuji’s line up The Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2.0 R WR is a weather resistant compact X-mount lens that weighs a scant 6.35 oz (180 g) and produces beautiful images. With a full frame equivalent 35mm focal length, the XF 23mm f/2.0 is the perfect do-it-all lens option for travel, landscape, and street photos while on the go. 9r14co.
