For FUJIFILM X-mount
The 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD (Model B060) is a large-aperture ultra wide-angle zoom lens. It's small and light weight with a good camera balance. The 11-20mm F2.8 makes it an ideal ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for daily use. The MOD (Minimum Object Distance) at the wide-angle side is 0.15 m, allowing you to enjoy the world of wide-angle macro shooting.
From snapshots to landscapes, a wide-angle zoom lens is a must-have. The 11-20mm F/2.8 Di III-A RXD(Model B060)lens is designed for APS-C format mirrorless cameras, making it extremely lightweight and compact. With a two-lens setup including a standard zoom such as the 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD (Model B070), you can capture the scenery in front of you with the desired angle of view. Even if you carry two F2.8 lenses with you, the weight of your luggage won't be a problem. The lens is bright at F2.8 throughout the zoom range, allowing for handheld shooting of evening landscapes and nighttime street snaps without raising the ISO too much.
In the mountain stream photo shown here, I used an ND filter. The fact is that the front lens does not protrude, so a 67mm diameter filter can be attached.
There's nothing to say about its depiction. Designed specifically for digital APS-C cameras, the focus plane is incredibly sharp and fully unleashes the power of the FUJIFILM X-H2's 40-megapixel sensor. Of course, there is absolutely no image drift, not only in the center of the image but also on the periphery and the entire image is wonderfully rendered. So, this lens can be used as the main lens for landscape photography.
The Minimum Object Distance is only 0.15m (5.9 in) at the wide end, making it fun to aim for dynamic compositions with the subject in the foreground and the background in focus.
Overall, I found it to be a well-balanced wide-angle zoom lens with great depiction, portability, and brightness at maximum aperture.
