XF 14mm f/2.8R - Think I'm in love..
3

In love? Well, it's just a lens.. but... It's good. On thursday I finally had some more time to test my newest purchase, the Fujifilm XF 14mm f/2.8R wide angle lens for my X-Pro1. This was the first time I had a full day to play with this lens. After using a 10-22mm wide angle zoom on my Canon 7D for some years, it was actually liberating to work with only one focal lenght! On thursday I used a f/22 aperture for most of my shots to create a biggest depth of field possible, from 1 meter (3 feet) to infinity, and the files looked real good in Lightroom 5. The shots posted here are downsized however, shot in RAW, processed in LR 5. More can be seen at my blogpost here:

ISO 400, f/22, 1/60 sec.

ISO 800, f/16, 1/125 sec.

ISO 800, f/22, 1/60.

After using it for one day, I didn't feel at all that 14mm wasn't wide enough. I'm the limiting factor with this camera and lens I guess. So, there will be no 10-20 wide angle zoom from Fuji for me. I'm selling the canon wide angle zoom too. My next lens will be a portrait lens I guess.
