solid
reliable and useful 14mm
Construction on the 14mm is really nice
It also has better micro-contrast
the lens is built with a metal barrel and feels solid
It produces very warm and vibrant colors with beautiful contrast
included sun cap is reasonably large and clicks on sufficiently securely
smooth and accurate
easy to switch back and forth between the two focusing modes
superb optics and excellent build quality

chromatic aberration and vignetting have been minimized - the
absence of weather sealing would make it vulnerable in adverse weather conditions
lateral chromatic aberration to be extremely low
lack of weather sealing will reduce its appeal for some potential purchasers
feel this lens should have included weather sealing
the above image at 100% magnification showing no coloured fringing
More Lacks optical stabilization
Wide angle lenses tend to have issues at the edges
just a bit too easy to accidentally knock the aperture ring
Aperture ring too easily turned
the aperture ring a bit looser than we would like
X-Pro1 is not its strongest point
the aperture ring
way too loose and easy to turn
there are no third-party lenses offered in the Fuji XF mount
too easily moved when stored in a pocket or bag
lenses are mechanical marvels is unfair and misleading
a half a millimeter too large for the body
shoot higher than f11 on an APS-C camera
blue shift is not
well controlled in Fujinon lenses
slow and noisy with a stepping motor focus system
mirrorless cameras
the sloppy aperture clicks
sloppy aperture ring on the GF lenses
the focus distance display disappears from the camera's display
Surprisingly still a poor design even on a new lens system
There is no additional cost to you
you will sometimes unintentionally turn the aperture ring
The distance ring can only be turned when the whole ring is shifted backwards
high brightness and limited weight
does not have auto focus
The lens can unintentionally be put into the wrong mode
The aperture ring is a bit too smooth for my taste

4.1

The Fujinon XF 14mm F2.8 R is the fifth lens for Fujifilm's nascent X system of mirrorless cameras. It's a premium wideangle prime, with a focal length specifically chosen to match the full (21mm equivalent) field of view of the X-Pro1's optical viewfinder at its wider 0.37x setting. This makes it a rather unusual beast, as one of only a few genuinely wide primes purpose-built for APS-C cameras. In terms of design and price point, it's most comparable to the Pentax smc DA 15mm F4 ED AL Limited and the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm 1:2 for Micro Four Thirds.
