(I know this shot/editing is ugly but I was too lazy to make it better)

 

Hey guys it's me again with another lens comparison test. Did a different one before: http://www.fuji-x-forum.com/topic/317-135mm-lens-comparison/

 

This time I compared three different 18mm lenses Fuji is offering.

 

XF 18mm f/2 (X-E2)

X70's 18,5mm f/2.8

XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 (X-E2)

 

The shots are unedited (fine L) Jpegs (SOOC). I just cropped them and stitched them together. The settings of each camera were set to default (0) except the WB (I adjust it manually with a white peace of paper). ISO 200. Provia. Aperture priority.

Cause I don't have a tripod that's so low I used a chair where I put the cameras on top so the frame can vary a bit. Sorry for that.

Click on each pictures to open and maybe download on Flickr in full resolution.

If you have any questions please ask. If you have any complaints about my test please be polite within your criticism. I'm not a pro so this test might be far away from being perfect.

 

Feel free to share some shots/comparisons of your 18mm Fuji lenses.

 

So now I hope you will enjoy my little CD collection ;)

Is it just me? I do not see real differences. Some expert out there who can does?

 

looking at images on flickr at f/2.8 the difference seem slight to me,

 

Suprisingly that was my first impression too. I think it just shows how good all Fuji lenses are. I will do some different tests especially between the X70 and the XF18F2. My first impression of the X70 was: Oh damn is this little thing sharp!!! But after I did this test I was kinda "shocked" that it actually doesn't perform (much) better.

    • Some elements in (autofocus) lenses are „floating“, so I guess what you are experiencing is normal.
    • How do I turn off the electronic shutter in the menu - the option is grayed out and I cannot select the mechanical option
    • I'm having trouble finding a way to attach a right-angle viewfinder to the Fuji X-H1 camera. Does anyone have experience with how the angle viewfinder behaves in combination with the EVF? Is the Minolta frame diameter of the right angle viewfinder suitable for attaching to the Fuji XH1 (or XT1, 2, 3, 5)? Does anyone have knowledge about which eyepiece is compatible with the Fuji X system? Thank you in advance for any assistance and information you can provide.    
    • I purchased a gently used XF 80mm f/2.8 aspherical macro for my X-T5. Not being familiar with this lens but having had experience with the Leica T mount 60mm macro and Canon and Zeiss macros, I was surprised that I felt what might be best described as a loose lens element that shifted when I tilted the lens, even before being mounted to the camera. In manual focus mode, the lens is fine, but there is a distinct “wobble” when the lens is in autofocus mode. I reported this to the company (I bought it from KEH), and they agreed this was odd and accepted it back for a full refund. I just got a replacement lens and the same thing is happening. I’ve never had an experience in which I feel a lens element loose inside the housing. Is this normal? Should I return it (again)?
    • Old post but hope this can help. You have to make sure that exp. comp. is set to zero in P, S or A mode before you go in to manual mode. If the comp is set to, let say +5, and this is of the range for the settings in manual mode, twisting the comp dial (left dial) want do any changes.
