Hi,

I don't have The Brick, but have the 16/1.4 and 16/2.8. I bought the 16/1.4 when it was the only 16mm available, and the 16/2.8 last year and haven't used it enough. These two are the only side-by-side comparative shots I've taken...... No PP, SOOC from my XT1 (16mpx), no filters, on tripod, self timer release. An obvious difference is that the 16/2.8 has a very slightly wider FOV.

Posted before, but if anyone wants to make comparative observations, I'm interested. I haven't decided which to keep and the answer might just be both.

Cheers, Rod

16/2.8 @f5.6

16/1.4@f5.6

The 16mmf1.4 begs to be shot wide open!!  So if you don’t plan on shootng below f2.8 then sell it.  I can’t see much difference between these lenses at f5.6.
