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.

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...
