Thanks, Markus.
Massive distortion, but it was expected.
Other than that, it renders pretty nicely IMO.
Is it possible to see the photos at 100%?
Cheers. I hope you're in good health.

Hello Markus,

Any early feedback on the 16-80?
What do you think of it?
From the few reviews I’ve read it seems to have weak corners at both ends of the zoom, even when stopping down.
Can you confirm these findings?

Thanks a lot :-)

when you click somewhere on the image you get to see the (bad) 100%.

Cheers, I was wondering how to download the 100% version.
Of course I didn't try to click on it ;-)

From Markus' photos, the corner resolution is not great, but not as bad as I thought it would be.
However, purple/cyan fringing is very bad, thus greatly reducing the perceived IQ.

It looks OK for a miroless lens.

I think it's gonna be (one of) the most anticipated reviews, at least in recent memory. Smile

I know Klaus mentioned they were planning on re-doing some of the previously reviewed lenses with the new 26mp sensor. I hope they are waiting to release some of those updated MTF scores along with this review so that we can make an apples to apples comparison to other lenses.

There hasn't been any Fujinons reviewed with the new sensor yet so whatever the MTF scores are will be somewhat meaningless until the older lenses scores have been updated.

Either way, can't wait!

Hi,

I have been reading you for years, this is my first post in the forum. Thank you for your jpb

Any idea of when the 16-80 review is coming?

Is it also true you're planning to retest a lot of XF lens with the new 26mpx sensor?

Can't wait
