Fujifilm XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR

The Fujinon 18-135mm ƒ / 3.5-5.6 was released in 2014 and is the first lens in the X-Mount system that could be considered an "all-in-one" lens. With the APS-C sensor in the Fuji series, the lens provides an effective visual field of about 28-200 mm. 18-135mm is not a '' constant '' lens, as increasing the focal length, the maximum opening size decreases. The shading of the corners is extremely well controlled and improved by the correction inside the camera; At the setting of 18 mm there are some openings that slightly produce more than a quarter of the obscuration of the corners. The Fujinon 18-135mm uses an electric autofocus system, which is very fast. The design is Fly-by-Wire, so there is no direct connection between the focus ring and the automatic focus system: the autofocus results are very quick and almost totally silent. In addition, the 67 mm filters do not rotate. The lens is not designed for macro work, but produces satisfactory results anyway. In fact, an enlargement of 0.27x (1: 3.7) is guaranteed at a minimum focus distance of 45 centimeters when the camera is set on macro mode. The XF 18-135mm ƒ / 3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR is a well-built lens, with a structure entirely in metal and structured in the satin black finish. The lens is equipped with optical image stabilization, which is activated or deactivated with a dedicated "OIS" switch. The watertight estate is present in more than 20 areas of the lens. There are three rings for this lens: a zoom ring, a focus ring and a diaphragm ring, which is a rarity in modern digital cameras lenses, even if it was a standard feature of the X-Mount Fuji glass. The opening ring is closest to the lens body, about 3/8 "width. The lens has a selector, which allows the user to choose between the self-opening mode or the manual selection of the opening .
