Review on πŸ“· Fujinon XF18-135mm F3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens by Janis Janis ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

It also comes with a lens hood and a black lightweight microfiber case with excellent stitching on the edges and with the Fujifilm logo. The logo is not stitched. I love sightseeing bus tours, especially in the mountains. I love photographing nature. Watched him for 2 months. Before buying, I made a tour of my frames according to EXIF ​​data and made sure that up to 85% of the frames were made in the range from 1x to ~ 7x, that is, from 16 (18) to ~ 110 mm. For me, its focal lengths are perfect. I really like taking pictures on the bus, when the speed of zooming and focusing decides a lot, if not EVERYTHING. Takes great shots. It would be strange to say something different about Fujifilm. In the mountains, as everyone knows, the weather is very changeable. This is where moisture protection really comes in handy. The zoom ring is rubberized and does NOT pick up dust or debris. Nice to touch. Your hands won't slip on a wet lens, and you won't need to force the zoom wheel to turn. While walking, when you hold the camera with the lens down, the trunk, if it leaves, is only a few millimeters. Still, if you have it in your hand, then you are definitely going to shoot. This is, with all due respect, not an easy "soapbox". The X-A1 camera will require a "firmware ate" (the inscription on the monitor each time it is turned on) to the latest version 1.2 in order to work correctly with it. Although it also works with version 1.1. Is free. It's quick and easy to do, following the detailed instructions given in text and pictures on the main (. com) site. X-A1 is less than the lens in height by ~ 9 mm. Fits in my small photo bag, which is also a purse in everyday life, with the lens down on the X-A1 camera in the company with an ultrazoom (44x) FinePix S8400.

Pros
  • The range of focal lengths. Very fast focusing speed. Excellent picture quality. Dust and moisture protection.
Cons
  • Expensive, but I attribute this rather to changes in exchange rates. With a rate of 1 RUR = 40 USD, you get a "tasty" price.
