Review on 🔭 Fujinon XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS Lens: Exceptional Zoom and Image Stabilization by Anson Wang ᠌

I don’t know why in all tests and reviews everyone unanimously scatters in praise of the build quality of this glass. There are really no complaints about the materials. To the picture, as it were, too, but . But the assembly, to put it mildly, was unpleasantly surprised: at some point, I began to wipe the front lens and . I found that from a fairly light touch with a cloth or an optics pencil, it falls quite deep - by 2 millimeters! Then, as if spring-loaded from the inside, it nevertheless returns to its previous position, but at the same time it is also not always clear - it can stand up skewed, and you have to move it slightly again so that it comes to its regular position. It is quite obvious that the lens, about which all reviewers say that it is all such a warm lamp and metal, obviously should not be like this, because this cannot but affect the picture. I already wanted to carry the lens to the service, because. I thought I got a marriage, but I asked a question on the fujifilm-x. Ru forum - and it turned out that for this model this is a completely standard drawback! In general, cellmates are advised to simply screw on the protective filter and, if the sharpness suits you, forget about this flaw once and for all. But personally, it somehow did not suit me. The very realization that the lens from an accidental touch or from shaking like this could easily "float" the optical circuit was simply depressing. In the end, I spit on the toad and bought myself an XF16-55 f / 2.8 - that's where the real quality is! - Well, this lens was leaked in the secondary market. The buyer, however, was not at all embarrassed by such a constructive glass. So if you, too, "it is more important to go than checkers" - well, it's my job to warn :) You can buy, because. the rest of the glass is normal.
