Which is better for landscape photography?

The Fujifilm XF 8mm gives a much wider view, about 12mm equivalent, which suits big skies and tight scenes. The Sony 24-70mm is more versatile for general landscapes because you can zoom. Pick by which camera body you own.

Can I use the Fujifilm lens on a Sony camera?

No. The Fujifilm XF 8mm is built for Fujifilm X mount. The Sony Vario-Tessar is built for Sony E mount. They are not interchangeable, even with adapters in most cases.

Which is better in low light?

The Fujifilm has the slightly faster f/3.5 maximum aperture, but the Sony has built-in OSS stabilization. On a Sony body with IBIS, the zoom is often the steadier handheld option. Neither is a fast lens for dim venues.

Is the Fujifilm worth $769.95?

It was $769.95 at Newegg as of November 8, 2026, and hit $699.95 the day before. That is typical for a weather-sealed ultra-wide prime. Whether it is worth it depends on how often you shoot very wide.

Both are solid metal-and-glass lenses with no published shutter-style lifespan. The Fujifilm's weather sealing helps in rain and dust. The Sony's zoom mechanism adds moving parts that can wear over years of heavy use.

Only if you shoot both Fujifilm and Sony systems. For one system, the choice is between an ultra-wide prime and a standard zoom, which serve different jobs.

Fujifilm XF 8mm f/3.5 R WR vs Sony Vario-Tessar T FE 24-70mm f4 ZA OSS

These are not substitutes: the Fujifilm XF 8mm f/3.5 is an ultra-wide prime for Fujifilm X-mount bodies, and the Sony Vario-Tessar T FE 24-70mm f/4 ZA OSS is a standard zoom for Sony E-mount full-frame bodies. Buy the Fujifilm if you shoot Fujifilm and want a compact, weather-sealed 12mm-equivalent view for landscapes, interiors and architecture. Buy the Sony if you shoot Sony full frame and want one walk-around zoom covering wide to short telephoto. The Fujifilm is $769.95 at Newegg as of November 8, 2026; no current price was given for the Sony, so compare it at your store before deciding.
