Fujifilm sent me the XF8-16mm F/2.8 R LM WR to look at. I decided to take it out in the streets of Quebec city with the Fujifilm X-T30 strapped to it. I say strapped to it because it is begger than the camera by quite a bit. The purpose of this video is to do mostly street photography with this lens to see what it was like. It was also to get a feel for the X-T30 which, on paper, is pretty darned amazing for its 899$ pricetag.
My impressions
This lens is surprisingly sharp, has almost no chromatic aberration, and no barrel distortion zoomed out at the wide end. Sample images that I took are nothing short of spectacular in every way shape and form.
