DPReview and Lenstip Fujinon XF16-80mm f/4 Reviews
DPReview
DPReivew says about the Fujinon XF16-80mm f/4:
- at 80mm corners are a little bit soft even at f/8
- at 40mm corner performance improves
- at 16mm corners fall apart again, even at f/8
- center looks very sharp
- minimal chromatic aberration. Incredibly well controlled
- OIS works great, very impressive. It keeps what it promises
- for video, corner sharpness is not so important if you shoot 16:9. OIS is impressive. Great manual focus ring and very minimal breathing
- 16-80 has great OIS for low light
- nice rounded bokeh, pretty impressive. Nice rounded. But quite some onion rights. So it’s a mixed bag. Good, but not the best they have seen on zooms
- amazing close focus capabilities
- AF is fast
- F/4 is great choice length for such a lens
- great for travels and video
- overall a very convenient lens
