About this deal

Let’s compare the images below taken with a wide and long lens respectively. 17mm lens on a full frame camera (to get this angle of view you need to use an 11mm on APS-C) 75mm lens on full frame (a 50mm lens on an APS-C camera will give you approximately the same angle of view).

And finally with the R5’s enhanced movie stabilisation, again applied on top of existing IBIS. This time you’re paying for greater stabilisation with a tighter crop, making the 16 feel more like a 24, at least when held at arm’s length. The stabilisation looks good, but I’d prefer to use this on some kind of handle. Above: So how much wider are the L-zooms? Here’s the RF 15-35 2.8L at 15mm where it’s definitely capturing a broader field of view than the 16. Thanks to the use of an inner focusing high-speed AF system with lightweight internal lens elements, the 10-24mm f/4 is very quiet to use. Combined with a silent Fuji mirrorless camera like the Fuji X-T2 (reviewed here), it makes a perfect reportage style documentary photography setup. Above: to illustrate that, I’ve superimposed a red frame where the outer edge represents the coverage from the 16mm. These third-party lenses may offer compatibility, similar focal lengths, aperture values, and image quality to Fujinon lenses, but they may not have the same level of build quality or autofocus performance as Fujinon lenses.When I’m out shooting landscape photography, I tend to reach for a wide-angle zoom lens such as the XF10-24mm zoom however I also use the new XF18mm f1.4 interchangeably. Ho preso cosi seriamente la cosa che ci ho impiegato un intero mese per completare le mie ricerche su ogni singolo obiettivo compatibile con la mia Sony A6400, studiando tutti gli Obiettivi Kit della A6400, ogni singolo Obiettivo Firmato Sony e tutti gli Obiettivi Custom di Aziende Importanti del Settore, ma nonostante io abbia letto centinaia di Recensioni su Siti Italiani ed Internazionali tra le poche costanti che vi erano in tutte le recensioni la costante più evidente era un nome che continuava a comparire, SIGMA. Da qui potrei scrivere un Libro su quanto dannatamente bello e divertente da utilizzare sia stato il SIGMA 16 mm ed anche ora che sto scrivendo questa recensione dopo mesi e mesi di utilizzo lo reputo ancora il Miglior Obiettivo sul mercato nonchè il Miglior Obiettivo che ho mai comprato in vita mia e ne ho acquistati un bel po prima che questo Capolavoro arrivasse nella mia collezione ma nessuno può competervi in modo alcuno. But first for focusing speed in Single AF with a central area on an EOS R5 and the closest bottle near to the minimum focusing distance. Like other budget lenses, it’s not the fastest focuser, but does so smoothly and the speed shouldn’t impact most situations. The focusing motor can also be audible in quiet surroundings and I’ll demonstrate that later.

Despite its age, the Fujifilm 35mm f/1.4 is still an excellent performer. Perhaps not as sharp and optically perfect as some of the others in this Fuji best lens roundup, but nevertheless, displaying a certain quality to image rendering that sets it a step above the rest. My choice would be the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR with its constant f/2.8 aperture, fast autofocus, and versatile focal length range, which makes it perfect for a wide range of event photography needs. It’s usually the smaller prime options such as this one that is the most popular for Fuji X series cameras since they balance so well with the camera body. Regardless, don't be afraid to get much closer! This is where wide angle really shines. Just take extra care with the composition though; extremely close objects can move a lot inside the image due to camera movements of even a fraction of an inch. It can therefore become quite difficult to frame subjects the way you want. CONVERGING VERTICALS So, in this case, the 14mm focal length is a better choice since you have more lenses to choose from. However, you can also always crop in without a big resolution penalty to achieve the 16mm composition.The 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 is an incredible all-rounder and one of the best Fuji zoom lenses I’ve ever used. (If you’re a prime shooter and need something long, get the amazing 90mm f/2 instead – it’s one of the best lenses for portrait photography right now.)

Above: In terms of physical design, the RF 16 2.8 shares a lot in common with the RF 50 1.8, including the same 43mm filter thread, as well as no optical stabilisation and no weather sealing – in fact place them side by side and you’ll see they also share essentially the same barrel and controls.

Is 16mm good for portraits?

The only ways to reduce converging verticals are to either (i) aim your camera closer to the horizon, even if this means that you'll capture a lot of ground in addition to the subject (which you crop out later), (ii) get much further from your subject and use a lens with a longer focal length, (iii) use Photoshop or other software to distort the photo so that vertical lines diverge less, or (iv) use a tilt/shift lens to control perspective. I have the privilege of working with Andrew as a writer over at dPS, so I’m very familiar with his quality of writing, and his teaching skills. Being a good photographer, and being able to teach and explain things so others can understand are two different things. Andrew is good at both! Note that in the image below, the trees are leaning to the centre of the frame due to the low level of the camera position. That’s why I like to use the XF100-200mmF4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR however I am usually using shorter focal lengths as I prefer the intimacy it creates,” says Heery. Above: Plus at the time I made this review, the profile wasn’t yet available in Adobe Camera RAW, so all RAW files started off uncorrected.
