Both the FUJIFILM XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens and the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens are much wider than a traditional portrait lens, but either would work very well for landscape photography. The Fujifilm18mm f/1.4 lens has the edge as far as image quality goes, so I would say that would be the better option.

We have this as currently being made in the Philippines.

The the FUJIFILM XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens the barrel glides smoothly and manual focusing ring provides smooth and even rotation from one end to the other. However, the manual focus ring lacks a clutch like that in the FUJIFILM XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR Lens.

Yes, the FUJIFILM XF 18mm f/1.4 is great focal length and a fast aperture for those night time captures.

Personally I think it's a superior lens! I've tried the 16 and was super happy with it... However the 18 is more versatile, and I love how it renders images and colors. Very happy with mine!

I was wondering if focal length which is usually converted to 35mm equivalent does not relate to magnification, what does? I realized that the focus distance would be another part. I found the answer by B&H incomplete so did a web search and indeed found: https://photographylife.com/what-is-magnification "Because magnification can be thought of (and even expressed mathematically) as a combination of focal length and focusing distance" Sensor size is also considered though not really part of magnification, nor the number of pixels . Guessing a what the mathematical formula I tried a ratio , and then the square of that which worked.
