The Fuji XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR is a well-built, fun lens for everyday use. The 16mm focal length provides a nice wide angle, great for walk around and street photography. The build quality is typical of Fuji XF lenses, with a solid and metallic feel, and decent weather sealing. The small manual focus turns smoothly, and the focus motor is fairly accurate and silent in use. However, the image quality at the corners is distinctly average due to Fuji's approach to reducing distortion. The lens is quite sharp and delivers good image quality in the middle, but the corner image quality suffers at wider apertures. The lens is not perfect, but offers a well-built and fun package that may appeal to street photographers and holidaymakers.
