Conclusion from DPReview :

The Fujifilm XF 18mm F1.4 is a great option for a bright, fast walkaround prime for X-mount shooters. Equivalent to 27mm F2.1 on a full-frame camera, it’s fast enough to offer a decent separation between foreground and background, despite its wide field-of-view. Optically it’s sharp wide open, offers pleasing bokeh, and has minimal chromatic aberrations. Autofocus is fast thanks to the use of linear motors, though video shooters may find the manual focus experience limiting. For X-mount shooters, the XF 18mm F1.4 is worth the price premium over the XF 18mm F2.

What we like	What we don’t
Fills a gap in the F1.4 lineup for X-mount Quite compact for a lens of its type Solid build and weather-sealed Swift, silent autofocus Good sharpness, even wide-open in the corners Minimal chromatic aberrations Most potential optical defects are well controlled Nice sunstars when stopped down	Short focus throw in linear mode makes precise focus pulls difficult A bit prone to flare and ghosting
