About this deal

A common hurdle with wide angle lenses is strong variation in the intensity of light across an image. Using an ordinary exposure, uneven light can make some parts of the image over-exposed, while also leaving other parts underexposed — even though our eye would have adjusted to this changing brightness as we looked in different directions. One therefore needs to take extra care when determining the desired exposure. When combined with the eerily silent Fujifilm X-H1, you’ve got yourself a camera set up that won’t turn a single head, even when you’re shooting at high-speed burst mode! A Raw file with Adobe profile corrections (left) corrects for distortion and vignette, while showing a slightly wider view than the camera JPG (right) (Photo: Jim Fisher) Above: and again at f5.6, but the 15-35 remains ahead throughout, while also delivering sharper corners or at least a flatter field than the 14-35. But then it is also the biggest, heaviest and by far the most expensive of the three – funny that.

The Fujinon XF 10-24mm f/4 OIS provides a wide-angle focal length range and image stabilization for sharp and stable shots. Also, the XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR has a fast maximum aperture of f/1.4, making it ideal for low-light conditions and capturing a wide field of view. The inbuilt image stabilisation of the 55-200mm f/3,5-4.8 is impressive, allowing the use of slow shutter speeds to prevent camera shake even when hand-holding in low light situations. Imagine being able to shoot 4 or 5 stops slower than you usually would with a long-range zoom lens and still have a sharp photo!Zach Arias had this to say about this lens’s unique character: “There are Fuifilm lenses that I love and then there are those that have magic inside of them. (The 35mm f/1.4 ) is one of three I’ve owned in my life that I feel have that magical quality.” So anything wider than 50mm (full frame) or 35mm (APS-C) is considered a wide angle lens. The smaller the number for focal length, the wider it will be, such as; 15mm which is super wide (full frame) or 10mm (specialty lens made for APS-C cameras only). The Sigma 16mm lens is an outstanding piece of equipment that I have been using for the past three years, and I can confidently say that it's one of the best lenses I have ever owned. It's a prime lens that offers a wide-angle view that's perfect for capturing stunning landscapes, architecture, and cityscapes.

What are 50mm lenses best for? Why You Need a 50mm Lens: They’re Great for Low-Light Shooting. If you really want to expand your photographic capabilities, a 50mm lens will allow you to do so because they’re great for taking photos when lighting is low. With maximum apertures of f/2 and larger, 50mm lenses can collect a lot of light. However, one needs to take extra caution when photographing people. Their nose, head or other features can become greatly out of proportion if you are too close to them when taking the photo. This proportionality is in part why narrower focal lengths are much more common for traditional portrait photography.Some APS-C lenses with a wide zoom range, like the Tokina 11-20mm f/2.8 which will cover a full-frame sensor at 16mm. That way, you can get your hands on a decent lens for great prices. Adobe's automated correction profile takes Canon's a step further. It straightens out distortion and cuts away the vignette even more effectively than with Canon's JPGs. You'll enjoy a slightly wider angle with Adobe's profiles, without distracting barrel distortion or a vignette. Above: Closing the aperture one stop to f4 reduces the coma while also sharpening-up the edges of the landscape elements, and I’d recommend it if you can accommodate the reduction in light. That said, if you’re not examining the far corners, the astro performance isn’t bad at f2.8 considering the price of the lens. The 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 is an incredible all-rounder and one of the best Fuji zoom lenses I’ve ever used. (If you’re a prime shooter and need something long, get the amazing 90mm f/2 instead – it’s one of the best lenses for portrait photography right now.) Knowing when and how to use a wide angle lens is the key to creating successful images that draw your viewers in, making photos that get the “wow” response you seek.
