Fast, compact and sharp
Granted most wide angle lens today are compact, but for the speed and size this one is hard to beat. They could have made this slightly faster but it has a shallow depth of field that is great for my purposes. The images are very rectilinear and nearly sharp corner to corner.

Fujinon XF 18mm f/2 R (Fujifilm) - Review / Test Report
The Fujinon XF 18mm f/2 R is certainly a cool little lens for the Fujifilm X-Pro mirrorless system. After all small is beautiful these days. However, performance-wise it is a bit of a mixed bag.

Fujinon XF 18mm f/2 R review by PeteD
This lens seems to get a bit of negative press. Yes the image quality is only very good if not stellar. Some CA and the corners don't reach the levels of the centre. And yes the 35 f1.4 is optically better but given the 18f2 is small and fast it's a lens that sits on my xe1 a fair amount.
Pros:
- it's small and it's fast
- Image quality is good
Cons:
- some ca

Not as good as the 35MM
Wanted to love it due to the small form factor, reminded me of my Panasonic GF1 with 20MM pancake lens combo, but did not have the image quality i was looking for. If small size matters, go with this lens, if your looking for quality go with the 35MM.
Pros:
- Small form Factor
Cons:
- Slow focus

Fujifilm XF 18mm F2 R
The Fujifilm XF 18mm F2 R is one of the oldest lenses in the XF line-up, and optically one of the worst-performing, with significant distortion and chromatic aberrations, plus a lack of center and particularly edge sharpness when shooting wide-open at the faster apertures.

very nice, and compact lens
The lens is great. Very sharp and hardly any distortion. The one thing that could be improved is the cap that comes with the lens hood. The cap is supposed to cover the lens hood whenot using the lens. The hood however will not stay on. It keeps falling off even when the lens is in the camera bag.
Pros:
- Lightweight
