Sentiment Score 84%The XF 18mm f1.4 is a high-performance wide-angle lens for X-series mirrorless cameras. It has a flexible 27mm field of view and a bright aperture that allows attractive shallow depth of field effects. Between infinity and around 1m, the 18 1.4 exhibits minimal breathing with only the mildest magnification. Between 1m and the closest distance the breathing accelerates, becoming much more noticeable.

Sentiment Score 76%Center sharpness is very good even at F1.4, and the corners are pretty good too. Stopping down to F4 yields only minimal improvement in the center along with a more noticeable boost in corner sharpness. Some minimal cat's eye is noticeable in the corners when shooting wide-open, but it's well controlled and goes away by F2.8.
