It's a statement from Fuji that shows just how good its lens design can be, and how much image quality you can squeeze out of the APS-C X system, assuming you don't mind spending the money and carrying a hefty chunk of glass. The macro lens features life-size magnification, strong optical stabilization, and an all-weather design. At close to $1,200 it's not a budget choice, and its also quite heavy. Despite the cost and a few operational drawbacks, the image quality it delivers can't be argued with, and it earns Editors' Choice marks. Design I was surprised to pick up the XF 80mm ($1,199.00 at Amazon) for the first time and feel its weight. It's a really big lens, at 5.1 by 3.2 inches (HD) and 1.7 pounds, especially when you consider that it's not designed for a full-frame system.

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro is the best macro lens we've seen for the X system, though it's too big for some of the smaller cameras in the line.

1:1 macro magnification; Razor sharp optics; Optical stabilization; All-weather design; Fluorine lens coat; Teleconverter compatibility

Big; Heavy; Expensive; Electronic manual focus; A little noisy

Features optical image stabilisation; Rubberised focus ring; Precise aperture control in 1/3EV steps; Weather-resistant;

Expensive compared to other macro lenses; Obvious hissing during operation; Not the fastest focusing prime lens in the Fujinon range; The barrel feels plasticky in areas;

With the partial caveat regarding edge sharpness under some circumstances, overall the Fujifilm Fujinon XF 16-80mm f/4 R OIS WR lens put in a pretty sparkling performance. Above all, it has proved to be an incredibly useful range of focal lengths and I could easily imagine this lens staying firmly...

Very high central sharpness, Virtually zero CA, Superb flare resistance, Excellent handling, Quality manufacture, Low distortion, Low vignetting, Constant f/4 maximum aperture

Edge sharpness, Slightly indistinct aperture click stops

We expected a lot and we got much less. We found out the Fujinon is optically a sensible lens with a universal focal range, fast and accurate autofocus and a very efficient image stabilization.

solid, weather-sealed casing,, very good image quality in frame centre,, sensible image quality on the edge of the frame in the 16-50 mm range,, imperceptible longitudinal chromatic aberration,, better correction of lateral chromatic aberration than in the case of direct rivals,, slight coma,,...

weak image quality on the edge of the frame at 80 mm,, distinct astigmatism at 80 mm,, huge distortion in RAW files,, distinct vignetting in RAW files,, performance against bright light could have been better.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

excellent OLED display, dust- and waterproof, fast Wi-Fi, wide range of supported frequencies, great camera, very fast performance, good battery life

display limited to 60 Hz, charging rate limited to 20 watts, no macro lens, wide notch

“The iPhone 14 isn't a huge upgrade compared to its predecessor. But with a great design, screen, performance, and cameras, that's far from a bad thing at all.”

Comfortable, high-end build, OLED screen looks fantastic, A15 chip performs great, Good camera upgrades, Dependable battery life, Helpful safety features

60Hz display, No telephoto camera, eSIM might be a pain for some
