Share

Now that I have told your that the Fujifilm X100V successor will come in early 2024, I am sure that many of you have lots of questions about it.

Questions, that you are free to share down below in the comments and I promise I will work on them and hopefully be able to answer soon.

One of the questions I have not yet the answer to is the name of the X100V successor.

Fujinon XF8mm f/3.5 Review: Outstanding Sharpness Wide Open, a Super Lens to Use (ephotozine)

Share

ephotozine has published their Fujinon XF8mm f/3.5 review.

And it’s one of those reviews that, if you suffer from GAS, you better skip. ;)

Summary:

  • central sharpness is outstanding at f/3.5 and f/4, excellent from f/5.6 to f/16 and very good at f/22
  • the edges are good at f/3.5, very good from f/4 to f/11, good at f/16 and fair at f/22
  • Chromatic Aberration is very well controlled
  • no real sign of any color fringing
  • Distortion measures at just -0.62% barrel, which is fantastic for an 8mm lens
  • bokeh quality is very acceptable (although not really the great importance for such a lens)
  • Flare is well under control, even with very bright light sources in the frame
  • Vignetting is present but not excessive for the focal length

Pros

  • Excellent to outstanding central sharpness
  • Weather resistant
  • Low CA
  • Virtually no flare
  • Very low distortion
  • Excellent manufacturing standards
  • Moderate vignetting

Cons

  • Edge sharpness lower than centre
  • No OIS, reliant on camera body IBIS

It looks like Fujifilm released just another winner :). Read the full review with all the details and charts at ephotozine.
