DPR: Fujifilm XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR Gets the Gold

• 4 years ago

DPR posted its review of the Fujifilm XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR and it is no surprise that the lens earned a Gold award. Fujifilm glass is generally great, but this is one of the first lenses in a long time where Fujifilm has been making a big deal about it being designed for resolution and it seems to have paid off. You can read the full review here. I have to say even though I already have an XF16mm I am increasingly considering adding an XF18mm to my bag.

What we like	What we don’t
Fills a gap in the F1.4 lineup for X-mount Quite compact for a lens of its type Solid build and weather-sealed Swift, silent autofocus Good sharpness, even wide-open in the corners Minimal chromatic aberrations Most potential optical defects are well controlled Nice sunstars when stopped down	Short focus throw in linear mode makes precise focus pulls difficult A bit prone to flare and ghosting
