All shot with 14/2.8 XF lens, which I've had for 1 1/2 months now. So far, I really enjoy this lens. Some images are cross posts from other threads. B&W conversions done in Silver FX Pro.

Cueto, Cuba: traditional pork meat sandwich. One simply roasts a pig overnight then cuts off little pieces of meat and places them in a hunk of bread. A sandwich costs 5 Cuban pesos which is equivalent to 20 cents US.

Perspective and not the FOV is what I find so useful in these wides. That perspective allows you to get in close and accentuate the foreground, midground, and background that seems to add impact to photos. You can usually deal with the FOV or what is included in the frame with a footzoom but the perspective is where it is at for me.

Don't get so close to me and turn off your bloody phone. Binh Thanh, Ho Chi Minh City during the afternoon rush-hour. Fuji X-T1 - XF 2.8/14 R.




A funeral band performing at the wake of one of my neighbors in Ho Chi Minh City. Fuji X-T1 - XF 2.8/14 R.

The 2.8/14 is a very good lens but since I bought the XF 2.8/16-55 R two years ago, it hasn't seen much use.
 
Many years ago, planning my first trip to Cuba, there was an image burned into my brain that I just had to find and bring home. It was the Negro field worker, shirtless with rivulets of sweat pouring down his face while he attacked a field of sugar cane with his machete.

This is what I found.
