Fujifilm XF 8mm f/3.5 R WR

Name: XF 8mm f/3.5 R WR
Brand: Fujifilm
Availability: InStock

The Fujifilm XF 8mm f/3.5 R WR is the widest prime in the X-mount system — equivalent to 12mm on full-frame, with a 121-degree field of view that makes it unique for environmental work, architecture, and creative wide-angle photography. Well corrected for distortion given its extreme focal length, compact, lightweight, and fully weather sealed.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
