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

There are no champions in terms of coverage of focal lengths in the Fujifilm optics shelf. Nevertheless, the Japanese brand primarily puts on the special charm of the picture, which is quite difficult to achieve together with a conditional 24-400 mm lens. The only “generalist” for the Fujifilm X system was released in 2014 and remains in demand today. We are talking about the Fujinon XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR.

High sharpness

In terms of the equivalent of a full frame, the lens shoots in the range of focal lengths from 27 to 200 mm. And already from the open aperture at the short end, it is extremely sharp in the centre. Detailing falls only at the edges of the image, to correct which it is enough to hide behind one or two stops. As the focal length increases, the lens aperture drops to f / 5.6, but it still remains sharp.

Interpretation of designations

There are a number of notable characters in the extended model name. For example, the letter of the Latin alphabet R after indicating the aperture indicates that the lens is equipped with a third ring, which is used to control the aperture. Behind the LM symbols stands the linear motor of the auto focus system, behind the abbreviation OIS hides the built-in image stabilizer, and the letters WR indicate the dust- and moisture-resistant design of the model. You can read more about the meaning of all symbols in a separate article “Fuji Lens Marking Secrets”.

One for all

Fujinon XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR comes to the rescue when you need to shoot quickly and without thinking. After all, as long as the clock is ticking, and the lens is changing, the plot can miss the camera. The model will serve as an excellent option for a single lens for traveling, vacations or walking around the city for your own pleasure without a photo backpack on your back.
