“Fuji keeps cranking out great lenses, and this lens is simply optically stellar”: admiringlight XF16mmF1.4 review!

Share
[shoplink 36067 ebay] photo 16nm_zpsowq5w8mq.jpg[/shoplink]

The last ones sold quickly, but now Camerland is offering again a limited number of [shoplink 36067 ebay]XF 16mmF1.4 WR with a $100 rebate[/shoplink]

_ _ _

It’s just a boring Fujinon Glass… so get ready once again for the usual a long list of Pros and a very short Cons list also in the latest Admiringlight review. From the conclusions:

Fuji keeps cranking out great lenses, and the 16mm f/1.4 is one of their finest. It brings the sharpness and low distortion of the 14mm f/2.8 and combines it with the great wide aperture performance of the 56mm f/1.2, while keeping almost all lens aberrations at a minimum. The lens is simply optically stellar. The only shooters who should pause a bit are those who are looking to use this lens for astrophotography, as it does show some notable coma. However, for almost all other shooting scenarios, it’s really hard to improve on this lens.”

Beware: to avoid GAS, you should NOT read (and see) Rico’s XF90mm First Look. For the X-T10 First Look click here.

[XL SOLD OUT – THANKS :) ]

Hi X-shooters :)

I’m very happy to tell you that today we launch a Limited Number of EXTRA LARGE X-shirts (in USA). Feel free to get one of this cool X-shirts here and to support this charity initiative. Thanks in advance for your help.

Also, I’d like to say a very warm thank you to those, who already supported this project by purchasing an X-shirt. We are about to make the first donation to KNGO and I’ll let you know via Fujirumors how much we were able to donate so far. You Are Great ;)

WHO MAKES THE X-SHIRTS?

TONLÉ: The T-shirts are made by Tonlé, a workshop in Phnom Penh (Cambodia), that produces clothes 100% out of recycled fabrics and pays its workers a salary most Cambodians can only dream of. Here is a Wonderful short & creative video presentation of Tonlé… make sure to check it out… you’ll love it!

AND THE PROFITS GO TO…?

KNGO: 100% (!) of the profits will go to KNGO, an NGO created by Mr. Saveth for his community at the Bospo Village (Cambodia), which today gives access to free education to hundreds of kids. The goal is to include more children into KNGO’s free education program and build a new classroom… and to reach it, we need the support from X-shooters worldwide!

BUY IN USA

US-residents can buy the Tonlé X-shirts for $29.95 (Free Shipping) at the dedicated fujirumors/shop page (only PayPal accepted).  The Tonlé X-shirts will be offered with FREE SHIPPING in USA only.
