I was so disappointed with my TWO copies of the 18-135 (first one brand new, even sent to Fuji to check, the second one to confirm it was that bad...) that now I filter the reviews checking the reviewer's opinions (if any...) on that lens. Seems that people only care about the center, but for anything landscape or wider below f/8 off-center, the 18-135 sucks!!! Any 18-55, 16-50, 18, 27 etc. "mops the floor" with it. No wonder Fuji puts an excellent IS system on it, so you can keep f/11 and high ISO most of the time... But I have seen several positive opinions, so mileage varies, of course...
Will do, once i get back from work travel. I was just wondering, aside from what my images may or may not show, if this is something seen by members of this forum.
