Fujifilm Fujinon X Lenses Roundup - Late 2016
It's been a while since I've updated anything on this site, but with summer coming around here in Australia, I'll be going at it a bit more over the next couple of months to try and produce some good and informative content. That said, given a lot has changed in the Fujifilm landscape since I last posted around a year ago now, what better place to begin at then a roundup and quick review of the available Fuji X lenses.
Since the last time I updated this site, Fuji have come out strong with a host of new lenses including the 16mm f/1.4 WR, 23mm f/2 WR and the wildly popular 35mm f/2 WR. Not only are all these lenses weather resistant, but their build quality, image quality and autofocus performance have been a marked step up from Fuji's previous offerings.
The table below summarises the current offerings, as of late 2016, from Fuji. For each lens, I've also rated its build quality, image quality, autofocus speed and value out of five stars.
