p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Fuji XF18-55 images thread


The XF18-55/f2.8-4 is often denoted as a "kit" lens, but in my opinion it is far better than the average kit lens you get with other brands.

The XF18-55 always surprises me with its sharpness and contrast. Of course primes are better - and I like primes - but the XF18-55 is so versatile that I wouldn't want to miss it. Besides good sharpness it also has good image stabilization and it has a nice compact size.

As examples I post some images I made in Spain two years ago (my first trip with the X-T1 and 18-55 after switching from Canon).

Please post examples from this nice and versatile lens.

Yes, I know someone is slightly in that last image, but this was the best I could get in this very touristic spot

Yeah, never have I called the 18-55mm a kit lens, it's just too good to be called that. Nice images lexvo. I'm assuming that these pictures where taken in Southern Spain. I'm planning on going there next year, specially to Seville since that seems to be the flamenco capital (my daughter is taking flamenco dancing).

I use mine all the time, from events like my brother's engagement party to travel, I find it quite sharp and my copy has taken a few bumps and bruises and is no worse for the wear.

Thanks. Yes these were all made in Andalusia (South Spain) were my wife and I made a round trip.

For flamenco definitely go to Seville.

I dare say it is one of the best "kit" lenses in the industry.

Some older shots with my first 18-55. I think that copy was a bit sharper than the one I have now, but not by much.

After 50 years shooting Nikon am still battling the transition (Where is the shutter button ?) but love the pics it is producing. Lens is a gem

46 years of Nikon for me and still telling myself that I like the EVF
I do miss the OVF of the DSLR but everything else about Fuji is great
