p.1 #15 · p.1 #15 · Lens critique/input for Fuji XT2 Newbie (Landscape/Travel/Food/Portraits) | |
More than likely that he 1) has a good eye for finding a great image 2) has the experience to know the best times of day to get good light/color, how to meter the scene and other camera settings to capture the best shot, and most of all, 3) has the experience to post-process his images to enhance colors, local contrast and tonality, and sharpness.
A "kit" lens like the 18-55 is capable of producing stellar images when wielded well, and even the most highly regarded lens Fuji makes are capable of producing some, for lack of better term, dull and boring duds.
It really all comes down to the photographer. Look at the Fuji image thread on this forum and you'll see amazing images from each and every lens they make. Look at a Flickriver for a given lens, like the 16/1.4 and you'll see some nice stuff, and also some less than inspiring stuff.
Fuji honestly does not make a "bad" lens. You can do great stuff with the 16-50 and 50-230, the 27/2.8, the 18/2 and the 18-135. People think that some of those lens are "bad", because they aren't as good as a lens like the 16/1.4 or the 56/1.2 APD etc which are beyond stellar.
Its like if you were an All-American collegiate track and field sprinter and ran a race against Usain Bolt. You would lose, and probably by a good margin. However, your still faster than a good 99% of other runners. Its just than your not the fastest man alive.
The stuff low on the Fuji totem pole equals or exceeds a lot of mid-level offerings from other brands honestly.
