This is a great lens. Was recommended by a friend for real estate photography and couldn?t imagine a better lens for the job. It?s small and lightweight, doesn?t distort, super easy to use and really wasn?t that expensive.

The lens are amazing, a little hard to get used to because I mostly used auto focus lens but the quiality and sharpeness it's really good.

Amazing wide angle manual lens for Sony A7IV. I purchased this lens to film 4K 60fps on the new Sony a7IV. Since the camera has a 1.5 crop in 4K 60fps, this lens is just wide enough to capture those wide angle shots. Lens is very sharp, small and perfect for any gimbal. Highly recommend it.

Beats my expectations. Small, great build quality, easy to focus, sharp, low distortion and low chromatic aberration. FOV on APS-C is over 90 degrees, which is great when you need ultra wide angle. Also, it focuses very close, and it is sharp at closest focus, even wide open at f/2.8, with gorgeous smooth bokeh in the background. It is better at close focus than my small Fujicron 16/2.8 and 23/2.0 lenses.

Optically the lens is very good. Very little distortion in the corners and edges. The price tag of nearly $500 is a little steep for what you get.

The lenses barely out of the box and was purchased for my Fuji XT2. The packaging is outstanding. I’ve made a few photographs which are flat and have no curved edges. There’s a touch of a vignette, but not objectionable. The color is excellent and the contrast is perfect.The lens is extraordinarily sharp and the images look good at high magnification. With the mirrorless camera, the no automation is not a problem. Frankly, you would never know that there is not an auto diaphragm. The depth of field is so great, focusing is barely necessary. I bought the 9 mm to take to Iceland at the end of January. I’m anxious to see how it does with the vistas. I currently have a 14 mm Fuji lens (21 mm equivalent) that seems not quite wide enough.For less than $, buy this lens.

I was looking for something really wide for my Fujifilm X Series camera. This lens checks a lot of boxes for me: Compact and Lightweight, check. Relatively inexpensive, check. Well built, check. Great image quality, check. Although this lens does exhibit quite a bit of vignetting wide open, it's not an issue for me. I generally like to shoot landscape and architecture (that's what this lens is for, right?) at around f/8 - f/11. So far, so good. I've had this lens just a short time but I am VERY pleased with the image quality I'm getting. It's sharp, even in the corners at f/5.8-f/11. And the angle of view is just spectacular. It's so dynamic and WIDE. So far, this little lens has exceeded my expectations. It's so tiny (smaller than the Fuji 23mm f/2) that it can go with me just about anywhere. It will definitely be in my bag when I travel. Highly recommend.

Super lightweight lens I use mostly for video and some stills. Turn on focus peaking and away you go. I was thinking of buying the fuji 8-16mm f2.8 when it came out but the $2000 price tag was a little much. This fit my need and actually will function better since I use it for video on my gimbal.
