This is a highly priced lens that I reckon is not going to get much cheaper to purchase as the months and years go by. The reason for this is that it's absolutely superb in build and optical performance and is a joy to use. I've yet to read a single unflattering review written about it. So whenever you buy it, you will certainly feel as though you've had your money's worth and I suspect may also wish you'd acted sooner.Wide-angled lenses are complex to manufacture by their very nature and are especially prone to distortion and other flaws. But you would never think so to look at the results from this one. The only blemish visible to my eyes was heavy vignetting on raw files. But Lightroom,Capture One, Silkypix or any of the other raw converters can remove it easily without any scars left behind afterwards. The virtual absence of distortion without the need for post processing is quite remarkable. I own a copy of the Olympus M. Zuiko Digital 12mm f2.0 lens and good though it is, there is a large amount of barrel distortion removed by the lens's own software. But in my experience, even that isn't sufficient when you have an expansive horizon clearly visible in the distance within your frame. My former Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 lens (Pentax mount) looked mushy in all the edges and corners to a greater or lesser extent at every aperture, whilst an Olympus Zuiko Digital 11-22mm f2.8-3.5 produced stunningly sharp resolution in the centre, but nothing close to similar results away from it. At f5.6, the Fuji lens is brilliant from edge to edge and it is the only lens of any focal length for which I've actually reduced the default sharpening setting of 25 in Lightroom/ACR to restrict some of the impact of the absence of an anti-aliasing filter in front of the sensor. Any distance and virtually all apertures up to f11 will deliver sharp results and typically vibrant, exciting Fuji colours.You will probably need to select the EVF if you are using an X-Pro1 camera because the lens hood blocks quite a large part of the OVF view to the right of the frame. I found the OVF rectangle markings quite hard to see in bright sunlight anyway and had to guess what was going on with some of my scenery. But it's a minor consideration really.If you own an X-series camera and enjoy landscape photography you should make the purchase of this lens a priority. You won't regret it.

This is a superb lens that lives up to the hype from the web reviews that are out there. I have used wide angles from a variety of manufacturers over the years, including Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Sigma, Tamron and Tokina. This is the best I have used so far. On the Fuji X system it equates to 21mm as a 35mm equivalent focal length. This is nice and wide though of course not as wide as the Fuji wide angle zoom also offered as part of the X system of lenses or the Samyang/Rokinon 8mm fisheye (also an excellent lens). The field of view offered is wide and pleasant to the eye. Distortion is incredibly well controlled and there is little to no sign of chromatic abberation or colour fringeing.Sharpness is spot on - very high resolution in the image centre at all apertures including wide open. Corners are sharp wide open but sharpen up to very good levels from about f4. This is therefore a great architectural, travel or landscape lens that offers very high resolution and excellent low distortion characteristics. It is solidly built and has a useful push-pull manual focus 'clutch' (like some Tokina lenses). Colour rendition is good (quite neutral) and contrast good. Autofocus is generally good though not as fast as some of the more recent X series lenses that feature more powerful focus motors. I have used the lens on X-E1 and X-E2 with good results. It's even better on the X-T1, especially with the new v4 firmware set for release mid June 2015, because that firmware improves AF speed and low-light AF capability. Is it better than the excellent 10-24 X series zoom? Well most tests suggest it is, especially in terms of resolution and corner performance, though obviously it is not as wide or as versatile. But primes are in some way, part of the X series experience, and this one is a gem.

Beautifully built, deadly sharp even wide open, great wide aperture for astro photography. So tactile as a metal lens compared to the plastic options of other manufacturers. I have compared this to the cheaper Samyang 12mm F2 manual focus lens.Pros:The Fuji:-Benefits from the in-camera correction of distortion and chromatic aberrations.The manual focus on this lens is by sliding the focus in back so much better than the body switch for other lenses.Sharp at all apertures .Fast auto-focusSuperb build qualityExtra stop over the SamyangThe Samyang:-12mm is so much wider than 14mm, much more than the 2mm might suggest.Wonderful for cityscapes and landscapesGreat build quality.Pretty good distortion controlSuperb for astro photographyPriceCons:Fuji:Not wide enough for wide angle freaks like me, not normal enough for street photography compared to a 18mm or 23mmPriceSamyangAwful focussing scale and weird infinity mark. You have to rely on focus peaking to get accurate landscape focus which is not always easy in astro-photography modeFlimsy lens hoodStill love the 14mm though

Far and away the best super-wide lens I have ever owned. Edges and corners particularly, a traditional weakness of this type of lens, are astonishing - they are sharper and less distorted than the centre frame of my old mk 1 Canon 16-35mm f2.8 L usm, which has since been utterly humiliated in every conceivable area of performance by this 14mm lens from Fuji. I cannot overstate the case: Absolutely THUMPED. The only super-wide lens I ever owned that even came close was an old Voigtlander 21mm f4, but I have come to understand that I was lucky enough to get a good one, and that many were not so lucky. This lens is shockingly good and in my view redefines what is possible with lenses going this wide.Downsides?Auto focus is good, but not flawless, accurate but a little slow and doesn't like lowlight. Lens is heavy, but then it is fast and packed with good glass. Plastic lenshood isn't impressive and is a pain putting on and taking off - the plastic flexes and isn't rigid enough for the bayonet-type fitting. Could break if you lost patience and applied too much force.Expensive, but worth it.

I tried this out on my Fuji XT1 and I found nice, crisp images. It seemed to work a treat in low light conditions too without any flash.I haven't tried it out on my XPro 1 yet but I should imagine that it will produce good results too. It has a decent weight with the above mentioned body. Initially I bought this to try out some landscape photography in Portugal (finally a little holiday for me) but decided against that idea as I couldn't bear the thought of my XT1 work camera and or lenses getting lost or stolen so instead I will take my handy Fuji X100 with it's fixed 23mm (approx. 35mm equiv) lens.The 14mm lens isn't a plaything for me, it's part of my Fuji range which suffices for my work needs (gigs,theatre, bands, group photography).Yes, I do have a full body Canon with relevant lenses and a very old but fast Nikon for other work but my Fujis are pretty much my constants as they're light and easier to carry.Hope this little review helps. Any questions feel free to ask and I'll be happy to help where possible.

This lens is a superb performer and produces lovely distortion-free 21mm equivalent images on the X series cameras. I also shoot with the Leica M system, and this lens (along with others in the Fuji range) runs the Leica glass very close, and of course costs much less. Nicely made too, and yet so light. A real winner from Fuji.

A super sharp lens,in my case used on my X Pro 1,where it remains 99% of the time. Great for landscape or architecture,pin sharp especially from f5.6-f11,I tend not to use mine down to f2.8 but I'm sure it's more than capable. Build quality is superb,typical of the Fuji X series. Highly recommended!

Optically corrected for distortion, this is one of the "magic" XF lenses. Beautiful clean sharp images, lovely close minimum focal distance for creative shots, pull-back manual focus ring, this lens is one of my favourites.

Its early days with this lens but so far it find it amazingly simple to use and its clarity is so pure and seems on a par with the Leica lenses in my binoculars.
