The Fujinon XF 14mm f/2.8 R is a highly attractive ultra-wide lens with few shortcomings. The most important factor for an ultra-wide lens is certainly image sharpness and the Fujinon delivers here. It is bitingly sharp in the image center and good to very good in the outer image region.

Wide-angle shooters should take a close look at the Fujifilm Fujinon XF 14mm F2.8 R. This lens is quite good, but it is priced accordingly. The 21mm-equivalent prime lens is one that isn't available in competing mirrorless systems-Sony, Samsung, and Micro Four Thirds shooters all have access to...

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 14mm F2.8 R ($899.99 list)($899.00 at Amazon) is a wide-angle prime lens for use with Fujifilm mirrorless cameras. It covers an APS-C image circle, which gives it a 21mm field of view in full-frame terms. That's a very wide angle, one that requires a trained eye to use effectively, and shooters who are lucky enough to be able to see in such a wide angle will be happy to know that it's impressively sharp from edge to edge, even at f/2.8. It covers a slightly wider angle than the Fujinon XC 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OIS($399.95 at Amazon) zoom, but it doesn't feature built-in stabilization like the zoom. For still shooters, stabilization isn't a major concern for a 21mm-equivalent lens. But if you're a frequent videographer you may prefer a stabilized lens, even one this wide. That would likely add to the size (and cost) of the lens. It's by no means a pancake, but its 2.6 by 2.3-inch (HD) size is quite small, especially compared with an SLR lens like the Pentax SMC ...
