Fujifilm XF8mm f/3.5 R WR

Fujifilm XF8mm f/3.5 R WR | Bring more of the scene into frame

At the edge of a city square, when the buildings feel too close to fit into one photograph, an ultra-wide lens earns its place. The Fujifilm XF8mm f/3.5 R WR is an interchangeable prime lens for Fuji X cameras with APS-C sensors. Its 8mm focal length gives an angle of view of 121°, so you can include a broad sweep of architecture or landscape without stepping far back. On a Fujifilm X body, that focal length gives a full-frame equivalent view of about 12mm. It suits photographers who want to work close to a subject while keeping plenty of its surroundings in the frame, especially for buildings, interiors and expansive landscapes. The wide perspective is a creative tool, but it asks you to pay attention to what enters the edges of the picture.

Making the wide view work

With such a broad view, the foreground has a strong role in the photograph. For a landscape, look for a nearby rock, path or plant to lead the eye into the distance. In architectural scenes, watch the edges for distracting details and keep the camera level when you want vertical lines to stay upright. Moving just a little can change how foreground objects relate to the buildings behind them, so take a moment to adjust your position before framing the final shot.
