First Impressions: Fujifilm 14mm f2.8 (X Mount)


This is a brief excerpt from thePhoBlographer




Fujifilm’s 14mm f2.8 was announced a while back, and the lens is now starting to ship into the hands of reviewers and buyers everywhere.

This is the lens that the company is marketing to street photographers, landscape shooters, and architecture shooters. Fujifilm has a long history of making lenses, but how does this one stand up?
