XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS


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.

An Interesting Day in Fuji-Lens Land!

Two interesting things to happen today: A First Look at the Viltrox XF 33mm f1.4 Prime AF Lens The first online look at Viltrox' new 33mm f/1.4 prime lens, as well as verification of a new Fujinon lens to come. First things first, I know that a lot of Fuji-users have been VERY interested in the three new prime lenses, which Viltrox announced late 2019, and which were expected in the beginning of 2020. Recently they announced that the first of them, the Viltrox XF 33mm f1.4 APS-C Prime Autofocus Lens, now is ready for orders. Of course a lot of people were curious as to the performance and built quality of this lens, and what to expect. Viltrox' 85mm f/1.8 prime lens was highly recommended and received a lot of positive reviews, particularly after the last update fixed some initial autofocus issues in continuous focus node. Now we finally have our first look at the new 33mm prime, namely by Mathias Burling, who gives his first impressions of it on his YouTube channel...

XF 27mm f/2.8

The XF 27mm f/2.8 is one of Fujifilm's few actual pancake lenses, the only other being the 18mm f/2 lens. It offers an equivalent of 41mm on a full frame camera, or a 55.5 degrees angle of view. This lens has no weather sealing, is not considered particularly fast, and has a rumor for not having particular good resolution. It has a rumor for being a kind of "meh" lens, only being attractive for its cheap price. Yet, many reviewers express surprise when they review this little gem. Apparently it has more than what the eyes sees, particularly for the casual street photographer or documentarist, who wants something wider than the 35mm lenses, but still a little tighter than the 23mm lenses. It is a lens which both allows you to take in the scene, but also to get intimate with the subject, combining the best of the 35mm and 23mm worlds. And did I mention that it is a cheap lens? Also, the rumor of not having a particular good resolution might be unjustified. Check more b...

Focal Lengths and Their Impact on Your Image - A Beginner's Introduction to Focal Lengths

Disclaimer : This is not a scientific article, but rather an attempt to give a basic understanding of how the different focal lengths impact the image. Let's talk about focal lengths and why they matter. After all, the first thing we refer to, when talking about lenses, is the focal length. Do we need an 18mm, a 35mm, or a 85mm lens? And is one focal length enough, or should we rather get a zoom lens, covering a range of focal lengths? The 18-55mm, maybe? Does it even really matter? I mean, we can get a 50mm lens, and then move back, when we need more within the frame, and closer when we need to be more focused on the subject, right? Well, the obvious answer is that, no. it isn't always this simple. We might be in a tight space, and still be needing to include a lot within the image. In that case a lens with a long focal length, such as the XF 90mm f/2, might not be very helpful. Or even the XF 50mm f/2. If we can't move far enough back, to include everything within the fra...
