9. Ghosting and flares

The Fujinon XF 16-50 mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR didn't have it easy in this category. This lens offers you a sensible brightness, has to cover a significant range of angles of view, it features as many as 18 air-to-glass surfaces and, at the same time, its optical system is closed in a small barrel, with little space for an appropriate number of apertures and ribs.

To be honest most of problems I expected at the 16 mm focal length where you deal with the best aperture and a big field of view. Here the Fujinon surprised me very nicely because it performed relatively well. An unpleasant surprise for a change awaited me at the longer end of the focal range where I saw many purple streaks, especially with the sun positioned close to the frame corner.

Still, in my opinion, the tested lens fares in this category moderately well.
