First, my appreciation to Fujifilm Asia-Pacific (Singapore) for generously allowing me the opportunity to use the Fujinon XF16/1.4 R WR for this preview.
The preview here will focus on being a user-review, sharing as many real world photos as possible rather than arguing over tech details like how many seconds can the lens maintain its usability under hail or it will survive a 5m drop etc.
You will not find the typical MTF charts and itty-gritty comparisons that sites like LensTip.com excel in, after all they will do it and they are the professionals at it and for me, photos tell the better story than any charts can do.
I am a casual user end of the day and prefer to share my personal experiences in handling the lens is shooting close to a thousand shots in the week with the XF16/1.4.
To start, the high end XF16/1.4 R WR lens comes snugly packed in the box design all X-mount users will find instantly familiar.
The box comes inclusive of the hood, lens pouch, instructional manuals, warranty card and front and back lens cap, with the standard centre pinch cap for the front.
the XF16/1.4 in the middle compared to the XF35/1.4 and the XC50-230.
