Wow... you make great work with the little 16mm!


I like what I see, but can you tell us your opinion? Is it good? How do you see it in sharpness? Micro-contrast? Distortion?


Thanks in advance!

Hello, Shab, you don’t specify who you’re directing your question at, but I assume you’re directing it at me.

In my uneducated opinion I think it’s a great lens. I say “uneducated” because I really don’t do tech talk. People discuss pictures and lenses here and use terms like barrel distortion, fringing, smearing, fall off, and all sorts of other terms that just make my eyes glaze over from a lack of understanding. I just make pictures and look at the results; I either like it or I don’t based on the overall visual effect. Often if I don’t like what I see I assume I’m the problem not the lens.

Having said all that, with this particular lens my biggest challenge is composition. When I shoot with lenses in the 35/50/75mm range I’m pretty comfortable with composing and making photographs that please me (maybe nobody else) and I can feel free to share with others. However, with a wide angle lens like the Fujinon XF 16mm f2.8 R WR lens it gets a little more complicated for me, especially when shooting street photography. For me it’s so important to get the main subject up-close, distortion free and in perfect focus. Then, it’s all about the background. There’s so much background and if it’s not interesting the whole picture falls flat. Putting a good composition together for a wide angle shot is a bit more tricky and requires much more effort (in my opinion).

Shab, when I look at your wide angle images I get inspired because you’ve mastered the whole composition thing. You’ve got the main subject locked in and the background all sorted out. Your images are always impressive.

Well, I probably didn’t answer your question the way you would have wanted it answered but I hope you understand.

All the best,
Mike

Thank you for so kind words... I really appreciate them. I love using 21mm/24mm lenses (16mm with the X-T3)... and sometimes I need to see through these lenses... I need to have wider vision than my eyes... so I take my camera and view through it and play with it. 🙂

These guys couldn't get more than six feet from the front door of the convenience store before they sat down and started drinking their alcohol canned drinks. And, it's only about 10:00 in the morning. Welcome to Yokohama!

Not everyone is getting drunk at this time of the day.

I'm drinking coffee down by the waterfront. This 12oz cup of outstanding coffee is only 150 yen at "Gooze" coffee shop. I think marketing might have chosen a better name for the shop, but whatever, the coffee is good.

Well, well, well, a pretty young lady wearing a kimono in the Yama$hita park flower garden. Let's take a closer look.

Even her handbag is beautiful.

Just a few feet away from her is another charming young woman wearing a large sweater. It must have taken a lot of yarn to knit that sweater.
