So Excited!!!

After months and months of being without my "don't leave home without it lens" the Fuji 18-55, and only having used primes, today I finally found a brand new one online which I just ordered!  I am so excited!  I love my primes, but the 18-55 is just so darn convenient!  Am I right?!

 

I just loved my copy -- unfortunately one of my kids "borrowed" it with my X-T1 and I've yet to get it back so enough waiting...  Price was right;  Brand new US model, Bought it!

 

Yeah!

I like my 18-55 too, but it could be better. If only it was 16-55. It's just not quite wide enough to cover my landscape requirement. The 16-55 f2.8 is also sub optimal for me - just too big and heavy and an f2.8 aperture is not necessary. If Fuji made a 16-55 f4, constant aperture with IS, that was somewhere between the two existing lenses in size and weight I would be happy.

 

Test the lens straight away. I have a friend who had a bad copy. He was probably just unlucky but it may be that the quality control on this lens is not all it might be.

Get the 16-50 f/3.5-5.6 then.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
