Fujinon XF 8mm f/3.5 R WR Sample Images
These images were all taken with Fujifilm’s new XF 8mm f/3.5 R WR ultra wide-angle lens (a preproduction sample), all shot on my 24MP X-Pro2 while on a trip to Victoria, BC. Note that a few shots have had perspective correction applied, most notably the shot of The Empress Hotel. However, on a number of shots, I simply ensured the camera was perfectly level or only needed to perform a very minor adjustment in post, to avoid the tilted perspective distortion, which a lens as wide as this can be very prone to if you are not careful. The downward tilted shot in the rose garden shows this dramatic perspective uncorrected. Hovering over a thumbnail will show a download link you can click on near the bottom right of the thumbnail image to open a much larger view in a new window or tab, 4000 pixels along the long edge in this case. Clicking on a thumbnail opens a larger image and exposure metadata will show below the larger image. Note that metadata and download links are only available with desktop browsers.
