Do you understand that this lens is most likely a DSLR lens with mirrorless mount adapters? It means that it's going to be quite large (especially long.) and not too fun to use on small mirrorless cameras. This also means retrofocal design and typical 2-3% distortion. I would love to be wrong though. 🙂

looks big, yes...

You should also add 20-25mm adapter ring as this is DSLR version image.

Interesting, but ultimately, too big and too expensive for my needs at 24mm. It is f/2 though...

I thought the b&h website is showing the version w/ a Fuji x mount lens?

In your proposal from another thread of using the 16-50 zoom at 16 only, when u compare the size of this lens vs the zoom at 16, which is bigger?

Gary, I would think this lens is bigger... but ultimately, both are too big! 😉 That said, we are talking about f/2 vs. f/3.5.

 

[GaryLH]

True...

You can check the lens size here - http://www.dpreview.com/news/2013/0...-lens-for-aps-c-and-micro-four-thirds-cameras

It is quite large.

For me.. Between the metabones speedbooster and leica m mount adapter have solved the holes in the Fuji lens lineup that still exist for me.. So not sure right now if I would pick up any additional lenses. I have their 14-18-27-35-60 and xe1 kit zoom.

My standard two lens setup puts the 27 on the xe1 w/ 14 in the bag. The xp1 ends up w/ the other lenses or one of the adapters.

There was a time I really wanted a 16 from Fuji.

i think i would use a 16 more than a 14...all moot till i find a job...

my pic was the x mount lens btw...

14 is more versatile since it can be cropped easily to 24. If u don't plan to print big maybe even 28.

What I use my 21 for
- wider Pano - i consider 15-21 fov the domain of the typical Pano.. But I have shot Pano w/ tele lenses before as well.
- tighter spaces
- buildings w/ less keyhole (not sure right term) effect, although pp can fix most of these issues these days.
- more foreground detail in landscape shots
- where I want enormous depth of field
- funny looking people (well not really.. Just joking 🙂 )

Another huge lens for small cameras... 😡

 

[back alley]

it really is big...maybe, in the future, fuji will make us a small 16!

i would love a 16/35 kit.

16mm is one long step in from 14mm 😛
Zeiss 12mm, Fuji 14mm, now this 16mm seriously…. use your feet not your millimeters 😀

BTW I had a 85mm from this maker. It was a POS. The worst aperture and focus linkage ever!
