Pros:

solid barrel mostly made of metal and weather-sealed,
very good image quality in the frame centre,
sensible image quality on the edge of the frame,
negligible longitudinal chromatic aberration,
good correction of lateral chromatic aberration,
lack of any noticeable problems with spherical aberration,
fast and accurate autofocus.

Cons:

huge distortion level on RAW files,
significant vignetting on RAW files.

The Fujinon XF 8 mm f/3.5 R WR is a small, lightweight lens with angles of view exceeding 120 deg. An ideal? Not really. One thing is missing - a more affordable price. Currently, you have to pay almost $800 for it, a bit too much in my humble opinion. After all it's just a prime with an averagely fast aperture. Still, if you decide to buy this lens I am sure you will enjoy it immensely.
