Quality
To measure and compare the sharpness of the Fujifilm XF 8-16mm f2.8 lens, I photographed the following scene with it and the XF 10-24mm f4 OIS at a variety of focal lengths and apertures. I’ll start with the XF 8-16mm f2.8 in isolation at 8mm, before then directly comparing it against the XF 10-24mm f4 OIS at 10mm and 16mm. I’ll then conclude with the XF 10-24mm f4 OIS at 24mm in isolation for reference. In each case I’ll present crops from the corner and centre at 100%, and have indicated the areas with red rectangles in the complete views.
