Hi Everyone!

xf 16mm f2.8: i thought buying this lens before, but when i watched and read reviews about it, people told that its not sharp lens. Good lens for landscape, especially for travel because of being only 155gr. but as i said before, i dont wanna use a lens that will have a problem about sharpness.

Your advices are very precious for me. Thanks for your comment!

I own the 16mm f 2.8 which is ultra sharp in the center Below from lenstip

tested with 24mpx sensor

and f 1.4 tested with 16mpx sensor so lpm numbers are not comprable directly

Taking into account the sensor the F 2 behave the same than f 1.4 and is even sharper in the center

The center at f 2.8 is very decent. So all in all in terms of shrpness the small one is very close to the big one. It is in no way alens with a subpar sharpness
