p.1 #1 · X Mount - 18mm Options

Hi All

I'm currently looking for best recommendations on X-Mount 18mm lenses.

Ideally faster than f/2 and close focusing. Can be either manual or autofocusing. Happy to adapt if required.

Considering on selling or rationalizing my Leica Q3 and sticking to x-mount.

I've considered regular choices of the XF 18mm f1.4 / Voigtlander 18mm f2.8, but wondering if there's anything i need to consider?

Cheers

To me, the Fuji XF18/1.4 is really good. I haven't tried the Voigtlander so I can 't compare. But I feel the Xf18/1.4 is one of the best Fuji XF lenses.

The XF 18/1.4 is really good, no vices and gives clean, crisp images.
It's pretty much in the modern style, no quirks, and sharp across the frame.
It'll make nice sunstars when given a backlit situation and flare is well controlled.

Fuji XF 18mm f/1.4 is about as good as it gets. No it isn't as small as other options, but makes up for it in all other aspects. It is the lens I always reach for if I can only have one lens with me.

Do you have a specific use case for an 18?
