There is only one super-wide lens I know of that can remain perfectly sharp into the image corners with a full open aperture, and that is the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8. A super wide angle zoom is a tough optical design to compute and gets extremely expensive when done right, if it can be done at all. With...

For this debriefing review I put the camera, in this case a Fuji X-T1, through a specific shooting event to gauge...
