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.

Opinion:I was lucky enough to get it in the Kit, and it was a real luck in fact for many the lenses put in the various kits are of "dubious workmanship" instead with the 18-55 the thing was different It's almost as if Fujifilm wanted to make a statement from the beginning in an attempt to start its new X Series customers on the right foot. The XF 18-55mm has received a lot of praise over the years.
Opinion:After much indecision I decided to take it, used to only 200 pieces I thought it was worth it. It was a nice find to see what picture it takes. I do street and the results are better than 27 pancakes and Viltrox 33. The slow and sharp, returns beautiful colors. I still used little but the af seemed good to me (only in one case he caned but the situation was really "on the fly"). ) From a sense of robustness, the hood is fine (I don't know who criticizes it for doing it). The diaphragm ring has no notches but I honestly don't care: using xc lenses I got used to using the rear ring of the car, the old way, and honestly I find it better to use the ring on the lens (I'll be weird)
Cons:It has only two flaws: zoom outside the lens and not f/2.8 fixed.
Opinion:Grafted onto my X-Pro 1, I carry it with me when I have to do portrait set. Together with my mirrorless does not miss a beat. It is a perspective of compromise between professional and non-professional ones. To be used with full knowledge of the facts, it makes wonders in photographic situations such as travel, set portraits and streeth-photography. Highly recommended. Vote 10/10.
Pros:Versatile, stabilized, good sharpness, construction that infuses a certain concreteness.
Cons:Aberrations in the pushed backlight
Opinion:I have been using this 18/55 for almost four years mainly on holidays and motorcycle trips. I can only speak well of this goal, it is not specialized ... But a jack of all trades is in the "everything" does it well! But let's go back... I bought in kit with xe3 using it the right and reading various articles and reviews I started to snub it ... buying some of Fuji's most famous fixed lenses that for heaven's sake are fantastic ... To which a month ago I decided to print some photo books and a photo frame of various trips, family, holidays and ... I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the prints to the point that some I had to review the shooting data to recognize the lens ... In conclusion, would I recommend the purchase? Yes given the price ! If you do not have to do who knows what specialized "jobs" is a lens that gave me satisfaction!
