Fuji Showcase Fuji XF 8mm f/3.5 R WR

All-Pro
I was surprised not to see a thread for this lens already, so went out and bought one 😉

The lens only arrived this afternoon, whilst I was working and there was no light outside by the time I got to try it.

This is taken at its minimum focusing distance as part of another thread I created to compare different WA lenses at MFD.

A few from the very sunny Grantham Canal today

First, a couple of lone trees

I was a lot closer to this swan than I would have liked - the 8mm really is wide

These are from 1st January but took a while to work on the conversions.

Old School Room, Bottesford - cropped off the bottom to make it 16:9

Finally, one of the ford in Bottesford - had to clone out the "Road Closed" signs that have been there since the beginning of December

Still in Bottesford, trying out my 10 stop ND filter with the Fuji 8mm lens, so this is a 30s exposure to try to blur the clouds. There was vignetting due to the filter but that was easily removed in PS (the filter is a 67mm K&F magnetic filter that I attach via a 62mm->67mm stepping ring, which does still allow the bayonet hood to be used and means I only need one set of filters for both of my wide angle lenses).

Hi I am wondering if you have taken milkyway landscape photos with this Len 8mm/F3.5 ??
 
I just ordered one of these. Can’t wait to play with it on an X-T5.
@AndyMcD your images are very nice and gave me the final push.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with, please post. Your reply reminded me that I haven’t had anything properly UWA since switching to Sony, so I just bought a Laowa 10mm f/2.8 - I hope that this will finally let me get a picture of the Adams Building in Nottingham.

Although this has been cropped, I was able to capture this with minimal key stoning, something I could not do previously.

I am enjoying this lens, not just for architecture but also street.
