Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 R LM OIS

 

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 R LM OIS has a lot of appeal for photographers who want more than the very basic kit lens offers, but don't need the pro build (or price) of the XF 16-55mm f/2.8.

Very crisp optics. Bright aperture. Minimal distortion and vignette. Optical stabilization. Solidly built.

Pricey. Not weather sealed. Omits some wide-angle coverage. Not great for macro.

Bottom Line: The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 R LM OIS has a lot of appeal for photographers who want more than the very basic kit lens offers, but don't need the pro build (or price) of the XF 16-55mm f/2.8.

Fujifilm XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 R LM OIS Review

 

The Fujifilm XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 R LM OIS is much more than just a standard kit lens. It's remarkably sharp in the image centre almost throughout the entire focal range, except at full 55mm telephoto where optimum sharpness isn't achieved until f/8....

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18-55 mm f/2.8-4 OIS

 

All companies with mirrorless systems on the market started with the launch of very plastic kit lenses with slow apertures, usually produced in countries known for cheap labour force. Fuji was an exception to that rule. The X-Pro 1 model hit the...

Fujinon XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS (Fujifilm) - Review / Test Report

 

The Fujinon XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS may be the hottest reason to enter the Fuji system. It is amazingly sharp throughout the zoom and relevant aperture range. That is except for a high amount of field curvature at 18mm which make it necessary to...

Fujinon Super EBC XF18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS lens

 

The first zoom lens for Fujfilm's X mount cameras covers a popular standard zoom range with maximum apertures between f/2.8 and f/4.

In terms of build quality and performance, the Fujinon Super EBC XF18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS is decidedly superior to the average kit lens and very pleasant to use. All the common aberrations have been addressed effectively and centre sharpness is...

Fujinon XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS review by spochana

 

I have just bought X-E1 with this zoom recently and went out on a trip so I had a chance to shoot at several lighting conditions, backlight, strong noon light, night time, foggy morning etc. All photos I took came out from good to excellent. I feel...

Solid build, Smooth zoom ring, Nice color photo

Focusing is a bit slower than DSLR

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18-55 mm f/2.8-4 OIS

 

Great performance and a pleasure to use and own. Optics perform very well with no significant weak areas leaving you able to concentrate on taking pictures. Initially looks expensive but the performance and build quality are notch above most...

Fast 2.8 lens gives more creative control, solid build quality. Easy control over aperture via dedicated ring. Sharp lens across its focal range

Could be considered expensive
