The Fujinon XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR came out a while ago, and it didn’t stand out in any particular way beyond being a compact option, but Optical Limits believes it has aged well. You can read the full review here or check out an excerpt below:

“It’s pretty sharp if you stop down to f/4. At f/2.8, there is some corner softness..Snappy F… Great build quality…”

Pros

  1. Pretty sharp when stopped down
  2. Great build quality
  3. Tiny

Cons

  1. Soft corners at f/2.8 also due to field curvature
  2. Relies heavily on auto-correction
