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.

    • In Windows PCs the backup is saved in  folder Documents>Fujifilm>Conditions. If you open this folder in a window before you start the backup you'll see the backup file appear in the window. It's almost instantaneous. It's a confidence booster. I don't remember X-Aquire giving any indication that backup has completed. The backup files include the date and the camera make so if you have two Fuji cameras they all go in the same folder. New backups do not over-write the older ones so you can restore an older one if you should so wish. Simon  
    • Hi, thanks for getting back to me. It's a shame because my X-Pro1 works perfectly except for the aperture with the 27mm lens. I think it would be better to switch to the new WR version that allows aperture changes with the ring. Thanks for your help.
    • I have the same issue on my X-Pro 1 and can no longer use lenses with no aperture ring. I contacted Fuji Tech several years ago and was told the camera would have to be disassembled and the mother board replaced at a couple hundred dollars. I was also told Fuji would no longer be repairing X-P1 as they stopped making parts for them. I did not check to see if any third party repair shops could fix it. Everything else on the camera works fine.
    • Thanks for answering my question! About this one item -- why is it better to do this with the camera on? Just curious.
