Review VerdictWe had high expectations for the Fujinon XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR and the lens didn't disappoint. The lens is very sharp even at f/1.4. The center quality is excellent but the rest of the image field is pretty good as well. Stopped down to f/2.8 and the results are very impressive indeed. Images don't exhibit any distortions, so you don't have to fear some corner smearing from autocorrection. However, autocorrection is required for the vignetting which is on the high side. Lateral as well as axial CAs are low. The quality of the bokeh is fine, although we'd wish that out-of-focus highlights would be a bit cleaner. Just like with most of the higher-end Fujinon prime lenses, the build quality is exceptional. The all-metal outer shell and the extensive weather sealing are reassuringly solid. And the AF is snappy, too. However, videographers would have appreciated it if the aperture ring had a clickless mode. Overall, an easy recommendation despite the fairly high price tag.

Where can this lens be adapted?

The Fujifilm X mount has a flange distance of 17.7 mm. A plain adapter fits a camera whose flange distance is at least 1.46 mm shorter. How lens adapters work

Native lenses set the aperture, and often the focus, electronically. On a plain adapter they do not work. Use an electronic adapter made for this pair; for many pairs nobody makes one. Fully manual lenses are the exception.
