What you need for Landscape, Interior

For me this is the perfect match for my 50-140. For landscape shots I usually need relatively wide to medium telephoto lenses and rarely use the 18-55 lens range. For indoors, I found this lens to be everything I needed. A constant aperture of f4 is fine as I usually shoot between f8 and f11. I've used the lens handheld a lot and the lens-based stabilization works very well. While most IS would frankly find almost unnecessary with wide-angle lenses, the old "1/lens length" rule for the slowest shutter speeds suggests that a shutter speed range of 1/10th to 1/24th of a second (depending on the zoom setting) works well for manual recordings. and I made sure it was true. The lens has internal focus and zoom, which I find very useful when using filter holders. With some lenses, like the 18-55 or 55-200, the lens barrel extends when you zoom in. It's easy to push or pull the front of the lens to change the zoom setting and composition. Rumored to be in need of an upgrade, this lens is one of Fuji's oldest zoom lenses. If an update is announced it will likely happen before the end of October 2020, but unless the change is significant I wouldn't worry too much. This updated version is now available for $300 off - it's a steal!
