Fujifilm's XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS is one of the kit lenses uses for the more premium camera models, such as the X-T series cameras. Therefore it is easy to confuse the quality of this lens with kit lenses of other brands. But while this is understandable, it is also wrong. This Fujinon lens is of amazing quality, not only rendering great and sharp images, but also is of a much better built quality, than what one normally would expect from a kit lens.
This zoom lens covers 18mm to 55mm, which corresponds to 27mm to 84mm on a full frame lens, or 79.1° to 28.4° angle of view, with an aperture which can be open from f/2.8 at 18mm to f/4 at 55mm. This is yet another feature, which makes this a more attractive lens than your standard kit lens, which usually only opens up to f/3.5 or even only f/4 on the widest end.
The wide apertures combined with the Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) makes this a great all-around lens, which works well for most purposes, even when it comes to videography.
