Pros: Decent image quality. Well built. Precise mechanics.
Cons: Aperture stops are not marked. Image Stabilising is mediocre. Not wide enough on the wide end and not long enough on the long end. And too dark at the long end.
Opinion: I have this lens for a test (second hand, about EUR 250, mint condition) and I may keep it until Fuji delivers the 16-80 lens promised for next year. I would not buy this lens new though - as local shops want over EUR 600 for a new one! Way too expensive compared to equal lenses from Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Tamron, etc. Basically lack of aperture marks and price are the disappointments but the quality of the images is good. So if you can get this lens cheap and you do not need aperture stops, then this is good optics. Warning: newer samples are said to be built outside Japan. The one I have is made in Japan.

Pros:Stellar optics for the Aps-c format, at TA my specimen is sharp, I don't know how it is possible but it is, I will have been lucky. Sharpness at the level of FF optics, fast af suitable for video, silent, fast, fine workmanship and ridiculous cost.
Cons:Decay at the edges but it is normal if you use a TA , closing the problem solves great .
Opinion:This 18-55 and the 35 xf 1.4, with the 90 wr, are the three lenses that should not be missing in a Fuji kit, at least for my artistic sensitivity, are three unique lenses that even with a speedbooster we can get on FF optics, because the respective minimum distances, OIS, l Af, the quality of the materials are really excellent. I don't know what to write because I completed my Fuji kit. I have the Helios complete with speedbooster, the xt4, the second body xt100 , the 35 xf 1.4 , the 90 wr , the 56 1.2 (just because it is cool but I will resell it ), the legendary 18 -55 and finally an old Nikkor 135 adapted equivalent on apsc of a 210 mm FF format. All complete with filters. For a value for money unimaginable for those who come like me from FF Sony , Canon , Nikon . State-of-the-art quality.
Pros:Compact and of excellent quality to be in kit
Cons:2 out of 3 stopped working suddenly
Opinion:Great kit, decent quality and really compact. Sore note I bought three because two of these after 5/6 months have stopped working. All purchased in the physical store and sent to service several times without ever solving the problem. ( very bad fuji assistance). Another sore point is very delicate even if it gives a semblant of discreet robustness
Opinion:Goal "kit", but only in the word, glass decidedly above average, fun to use, never leaves you (almost) disappointed even considering the openings of the diaphragm. Very usable lens in any situation, compact and discreet light, excellent travel companion, and does not disappoint even in streetphotography. The lack of tropicalization is absolutely negligible. Lampshed included in the package.
Pros:Good opening, excellent construction, physical controls, light screen included in the package
Cons:For now, no one
Opinion:I started using my Fuji xt-20 with a fixed lens 50mm Canon f1.4. Wonderful lens, even though I had to give up autofocus. After buying this little zoom I never went back. The bokeh effect is gorgeous, both in photos and videos, where autofocus is quiet, accurate and soft. I dare not imagine how well it works with Fuji models superior to my xt-20!
