Review on Fujinon XC15-45mmF3.5-5.6 OIS PZ Lens - Black: Versatile Zoom Lens with Optical Image Stabilization by MoonSe Hoon ᠌
I like the product, the quality did not disappoint.
I bought it together with x-t20 at a good price as a set. This is my first fuji camera and so far the first lens, so I will compare it with canon 18-55 is stm and canon fixes. Maybe I got an excellent copy, but the picture is much, much (!) Sharper than the Canon whale. Moreover, the picture is comparable in sharpness to my old canon fixes. I did not expect this from this lens, I bought it in the format "small, light - I will take it on vacation" and planned to buy a couple of fixes after. But while even the hands have not reached - the picture pleases. At the edges, the sharpness sags quite a bit, but I do not attribute this to shortcomings. But he's uncomfortable. Slow zoom, constant is "vzhzhzh-vz-vz-vzhzhzh". It is also unpleasant that if suddenly the camera accidentally turns on in a bag / pocket, the trunk leaves. On the x-t20, by the way, there is a rather urgent problem - the button is frail and is pressed very easily. Lens control - only through the camera menu. There are no buttons on the lens at all. The back cover was put on a translucent white made of thin soft plastic (something similar to yogurt lids). If you take it with a camera, I think you can take it. If it is the same in sharpness as mine, you will not regret it. In the end, it is very light, and it can really be used as a travel option (focal ones are convenient for this) as I originally planned. Keep in mind that the lens is not very comfortable to use, and is more suitable for leisurely shooting. Separately from the camera I do not recommend taking.
- 1) The first and most important thing is sharpness. I got a really great copy from this point of view. 2) Fast focus. Manages to shift focus in high-speed burst mode to a skater riding in the face (for example). In more difficult conditions did not test. Of course, this is a merit, including the camera, but lenses are also slow. 3) Focusing is quiet (but not silent). 4) Weight and dimensions.
- 1) Fully automatic. Zooming occurs only due to the internal motor. Twisted - vzhzhzhzhzh - approached. 2) Working position exclusively with extended trunk. Turn on the camera - the trunk automatically moves out of the camera by 2 centimeters. 3) All this "automatic" slows down the x-t20 when turned on for 2-3 seconds. With other lenses, the camera turns on very quickly. In short - the principle of operation of the 1in1 lens is like on soap dishes. And it's very inconvenient. 4) Looks flimsy (trunk inside backlash a little) 5) 45mm at the far end - I don't have enough. 6) The bokeh is average, but it's still a whale.
