The 18-135 was the lens I had waited many months for when production dried up. Eventually I bought one of the new Philippines manufactured units and I must say that compared to the other fine Fuji lenses I use the 18-135 is a bit of a dud. It functions well on my XT2 camera but it’s the final print that counts. The definition falls off quite quickly at the edges, which is quite noticeable in reasonable sized prints. At present I am in Malta giving it one last chance but I am not very hopeful.
I also have a very good copy of the 55-200 which I always get good large prints from and is a pleasure to use. I hope this helps.
