The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on December 07, 2020 Pros: Size, font Cons: For me nothing Opinion: The 18 f2 and the demonstration of how useless and misleading technical reviews can be on the internet. The loss of sharpness at the edges condemned this street lens which, in size and quality, is excellent, especially when used with b/n. The beautiful metal lampshed accompanying is a notable plus compared to the cheesy plastic ones that Fuji is used to canned, but in general this lens hardly suffers from reflections at all, so you can do without it. For landscapes it is not ideal for the infamous loss of sharpness at the edges, but on the other hand it has an excellent blurry and a very interesting minimum focus distance to "cut out" details. I fell in love with it and didn't give it away even in front of an exchange equal to 35 f2. Old chicken makes good broth. It has that magic of the first goals that the new ones don't have, even with the same brightness. |
 | sent on November 18, 2020 Pros: Compactness, price, yield Cons: Nobody Opinion: I had already had it two years ago, sold to try other lenses such as 16mm 2.8 and 27mm, but also standard zooms, a week ago I bought it back and this time it is forever. It will be my everyday and also travel lens, excellent optical rendering, not negligible depth for an 18mm, I will never abandon it again |
user148470   | sent on September 11, 2020 Pros: Compact, light, yield Cons: nothing, maybe the lampshade cap Opinion: Purchased as an everyday lens, always with me with Xt1 in handbag, pouch or bike backpack. I was immediately amazed by its yield, similar to the xf35, then with character and three-dimensionality. In some photos I actually noticed the loss of detail at the edges. well-constructed, well-fried diaphragms diaframmi and beautiful lampshade. |
 | sent on March 20, 2020 Pros: compactness, lightness, optical quality, lampshade Cons: Soft edges up to f: 2.8 Opinion: I have had this vision for several years and it has always given me great satisfaction. I used it mainly with X-Pro in reportage photography and dynamic street, but it has also done its duty in landscape (field where it is preferable to use 8/11 diaphragms in order to ensure a good yield at the edges). I use little af, preferring the MF whenever possible, but also in this aspect I was always satisfied. The noise of the moped is not the best, but it can be tolerated in the face of the overall quality of the photographs taken with this lens, also not too expensive (especially if purchased used). |
 | sent on March 20, 2020 Pros: Compactness, sharpness, lampshade. Cons: noise af Opinion: Excellent, it responds very well in every occasion and in every situation; astonished me. The sharpness is excellent up to the edges and the distortion is almost absent. Feeling compact and robust, excellent diaphragms' diaphragms. The lampshade is very comfortable and also beautiful to see. Definitely superior in every sense to 27 2.8 |
 | sent on April 03, 2019 Pros: compactness, sharpness, colours, aperture ring Cons: AF noise, too "digital" character Opinion: Undoubtedly versatile and comfortable, practical for outputs with little space and a lot of quality. I Don't feel like saying exceptional but it does its job head-on and it comes out with full votes. Excellent colors and sharpness even at the edges of the frame (from 2.8 onwards)... Too much for me too. I Perceive in this sense that is a taste sometimes a bit artifact, too "digital", from the details a little ' contornamented, but this feature is not the first time that I hangout in some lenses Fuji. What I definitely do not like is the continuous autofocus noise that I find rather annoying and that, even this time, I had already found in 27 f2.8. Definitely promoted but not first class. |
 | sent on February 02, 2019 Pros: character, size, performance Cons: No one for the lens that is Opinion: With €300 in the used you bring home an exceptional lens. At F2 it is a soft thread for a Fuji lens, closed by one stop it affects decisively. The lens has character, has three-dimensionality, has a beautiful color rendition, I found it valid in landscaping but becomes excellent when it frames a human. It is part of the trio of Wonders (18 F2-35 F 1.4-60 macro) with which a Fuji system is worthy of being bought, with that their clean rendering that together with the 16 MPX sensor is unique. It is also tiny, a must have. |
user2943 | sent on July 10, 2018 Pros: Weight, AF speed, economical, small, beautiful lens hood Cons: Hood cap, lost on first use Opinion: Reading the various complaints about this lens I get a strong doubt: I was lucky to find a wonderful specimen? I do everything, street, landscapes and even portraits. It is very fast in focus, used with Xe2, Xpro1 and XT2. I find that gives its best with the new 24 MP sensor, I speak of course raw files postproducted with iridient, JPG I do not consider them just, too inferior and kneaded. Obviously it has a better performance in the middle of the frame but closing at 5.6 or 8 is also great for landscapes. Over the years I have compared it several times with three different specimens of 18-55 but I have always found the 18 best, which is why I also use it for landscapes. Finally, it's cheap and very small what more could you ask for a lens? |
 | sent on June 01, 2018 Pros: compactness, focal length suitable for Street, price Cons: Very questionable quality of files Opinion: Bought, tried and resold after 2 months. I came from x100s and I wanted to widen a little ' the vision with this 18.... I do not know if it is L paired with a 24 sensor that has my xt20 but frankly a step backwards as to details, especially to the notorious edges. I just went to 27... Another story, I've basically recreated the feeling of the x100. So much quality... all over the file. Try to Believe |
 | sent on May 25, 2018 Pros: Small, bright Cons: Those known: distorts a bit, not sharpest, not very fast Opinion: Great! It's a lens, along with the 35 1.4, so I find the Fuji system perfect (for me). The cons are very well known, all open is not sharpest to the edges and the autofocus is not lightning (albeit fully usable on XT1 and XE3). However it is tiny and bright: I use it as a handyman, if you love the focal 28mm eq you will stick it glued to the machine. The yield, according to my taste, is still very good and well befits a lens from street (for landscape, closed to 5.6 is sharp everywhere). Beautiful blurry and beautiful stamp to the images, the price at which it is used will make many happy. I come from the habit of using the coupled 35-85 (in Canon), in Fuji I discovered and I fell in love with the 28-50 (eq). |
 | sent on May 18, 2018 Pros: Weight, sharpness, versatility Cons: Lens hood difficult to engage Opinion: Very versatile lens, light (my exactly 112gr) and with very fast autofocus (on X-T2). I do not understand who complains about the sharpness of the "edges" of the photo. Now that they read it on a forum all to shout how soft it is to the sides, ignore. It is so discreet that you will pass unnoticed, great thing for those who do street photography |
 | sent on June 01, 2017 Pros: Dimensions, image quality, diaphragm ring Cons: Nobody Opinion: When I bought my first Fuji in the far 2014, I was always attracted to this little 18mm because the idea was to have a really minimal equipment to keep with me always. However, often conflicting reviews have always made me desert. At the end, what matters is not reading the opinions of others but having a personal opinion and my own, after a few months of use, is totally positive. RnThis is my most complete, little technical review, much more impressive to use on Field http://www.giusyvaccaro.it/fotografia/le-mie-recensioni/recensione-fuji-18mm/ |
 | sent on March 24, 2017 Pros: Small, bright, excellent file quality and nice lens hood. Cons: The hood cap. Opinion: I love the bright fixed and after taking the fantastic 35mm 1.4, I needed something more wide. So after many reviews read, I decided to take the small 18mm f/2. The quality is really good, therefore, do not get too many negative thoughts as a result of the lamentated quality of the product file species at the edges. I do a lot of street and this lens is ideal for my kind of photo. I was in Amsterdam for 3 days with my XE2s and the only 18mm. I didn't need anything else. I brought with me as well the 35mm 1.4 (fabulous) but in the end remained in the backpack because of the photos I made. of negative I only found the hood cap, otherwise it's a good lens for the street. Obvious that there are other fixed lenses (23mm 1.4 or 16mm 1.4) but I want to travel light and in good company... otherwise I stayed at the old SLR with the 40 kg of equipment to take with a donkey. Therefore, I recommend the 18mm for the street. Try it before you judge. |
 | sent on December 23, 2016 Pros: Construction, size, sharpness at ta, aperture ring af although the first generation is fast and accurate, very character of analog lens. Cons: Maybe for demanding sharpness at the edges? .... Opinion: This optic is a favorite of mine is part of the triad of objectives out with the x pro -1 high quality both from the optical and mechanical point of view. The sharpness is also wide open. It is a pleasure to shoot with this goal. Very good bokeh. Now that is used at reasonable prices the straconsiglio. |
 | sent on December 05, 2016 Pros: Compact, light, crisp where it is needed, "human" price, discreet autofocus with old x-a1 only contrast detection Cons: Lack of sharpness at the edges, but usabilissima in my humble opinion Opinion: Got used to 300 € in a photo shop (with one-year warranty of the store) I have already innamorato.rnÈ focal I use most often, in practice everywhere, though at times is too big just a small crop and off .. rnEccezionale for weight and size ... I've combined with a 27 pancakes and a Samyang 8mm. I have a kit in a very small space. I've thought so much about what to take (I also tried an extreme choice .. 16mm 1.4 and nothing else) but then I preferred silence the various "monkeys" and I took the most compact Fujifilm optics to remain faithful to the idea early: a mirrorless it takes to get something pocket. rnPoi obviously depends on the needs of each, there is always "something better", really ma..serve the "absolute best" to stop a moment? rnQuest'ottica is fabulous for my needs (reportage, travel, photos with family and friends, occasional landscapes, portraits ambientati roba..in ... so little space!) I love it !! |
 | sent on August 30, 2016 Pros: compact, lightweight, good hood. Cons: sharpness at the edges Opinion: great goal, costs little worth that much ... when I took pensvo was an economic expedient to another, trying above all compact lenses, I was also concerned about the focus that proved to be accurate and reliable, maybe not fast but accurate. with X-E2s and in the company of 27 and 60 it is unable to have a light and efficient kit. |
 | sent on February 09, 2016 Pros: Size, personality. Cons: Slight loss of sharpness at the edges, lens hood that frustrates a little 'small size lens. Opinion: When I find myself thinking that "18mm wide-angle is too!" I always end up with change my mind. This lens in my opinion has personality to spare, especially for street and reportage. I use it also in some portraits. Sometimes it is a must to crop a little '. We say that this lens, if it does not shine for sharpness and color rendition, however, fails to become a drug and, honestly, I end up leaving almost always mounted. What should I say ... I am there by god! Perspective distortion is inevitable, that due to the curvature of the spherical elements, however, could perhaps be improved by Fuji. But ... take your X series, this lens montateci and go in a big city. It will teach you the street, as is teaching me. The focal length of 18mm (equivalent to 27mm on FF) is a focal length of all or nothing. You do not have the focus (unless you approach distances from quasi-macro ... in which case the bokeh is also very pleasant). You must stay close to the subject, otherwise you will have soggetto tiny in the frame. You must learn to balance the composition and to exploit the lines to guide the viewer's eye. You have to learn how to clean the composition from unnecessary elements. It 'a difficult focal of the time, but it has character and I love her. The price is more than reasonable and, if any love, not really more hooked. |
 | sent on June 22, 2015 Pros: Truly compact and well built. Sharpness in the center. Price now adequate. Metal hood very cute. Very light. It goes unnoticed to the street. Cons: Strong chromatic aberration at the edges. Plug already lost in the first afternoon of output. Opinion: The first issue that I did with the 18mm f / 2 on my X-T1 has left me more than a good feeling. [Arrival in Venice at 14:30, and at 14:31 I had already lost the cap eheheh] rnSi is a lens that makes you want to photograph. For the street in my opinion it is very attractive. The sharpness at the center is super, but the more you move to the edges, we see more loss of definition and chromatic aberration [is also true, however, that in the jpeg software fuji is enough miracles] .rnHo shot all afternoon with a contraption slight neck without discomfort or pain hangover, comfortable. |

user26730 | sent on February 02, 2015 Pros: construction, weights and dimensions, discretion, clarity where needed and reactivity Cons: as for the 35 F1.4 the lens hood cap and '....... ridiculous! noisy AF Opinion: After having read the sorts of things on this lens I finally decided to take it and I'm ultra soddisfatto.rnPer people like me who is better with the focal 28mm compared to 35mm for use of street and reportage this great little lens and 'really fits perfectly . Not doing it 'paesagistica it' architecture I do not need to have the edges of sharp picture to the last millimeter of the frame! often shooting at large apertures, the edges of the picture would still be less sharp and / or blurred than in the center and the main subject. So the fault of the lack sharpness at the edges by many complained about me not sussiste.rnAl opposite the center and 'very sharp even at f2, and' small, lightweight and responsive with an af fast and accurate (the use of X-E2) and I repeat the focal length seems to be really the most apt for street use and reportage.rnCome his older brother (35mm) has the same defect of the cap to put it and remove it, unscrew the lens hood and lens hood cap and the same ' as in 35mm, an unclean thing! Slips alone andIt risks losing it at every step. I think any worse could not come to his house Fuji. Caps aside, in my opinion, and 'a very good lens that is cheap and works very well !! rnConsigliatissimissimo! RnMax |
 | sent on January 23, 2015 Pros: dimensionirnpesorncompattezzarnqualitarnluminositarn Cons: loss at the edges in Tarn Opinion: I took this lens to be able to have something compact, lightweight, and most large to be attached to the 27th, just for fun .... turned out to be a lens satisfying, fast, well-defined diaphragms not too open that is worth more than what you think ... excellent lens for reportage and travel ... qualitatively valid, though not at the level of his brother, but not of being sfigura.Pur already has a wide angle fuzzy pleasant and well off the subject from the background. |
 | sent on August 14, 2013 Pros: Compact, lightweight, built with quality materials, optical quality especially in the center. Cons: You have to have to diaphragm edges acceptable. Distortion. The rubber stopper of the hood comes off easily and is at risk loss. Price. Opinion: Until a short time ago, before the 'arrival of 27 was the pancake lens Fuji XF smaller and lighter. Remains strongly compact and very well done. The optical quality of the center and 'high, but to have the edge with a good yield must close the iris. The blurred and 'pleasant though not always is a peculiarity to be found in a wide angle. The Af benefits of the update of camera bodies and the lens resulting in fast and accurate. I bought this lens used for its compact size and for its focal length equivalent to 27mm equivalent. Frankly, I must say that I prefer the 18-55 as surrender but as mentioned was looking for something portable. This lens, however, I was not disappointed and I recommend it to all those who seek the compactness without major sacrifices in terms of quality. At the moment the price is a little high. |
  | sent on September 07, 2012 Pros: Sharpness in the center Rapidity AF weight and especially footprint reasonable, Cons: made at the edges at the widest apertures distortion (perfectly correct via firmware / software plug hood rubber too soft, you may only lose Opinion: It 'a great lens for reportage, with a high yield even at full aperture. Ideal for shooting in ambient light. Combined with the excellent qualities of the X-Pro 1 at high ISO allows you to leave the flash at home with no regrets. However, degrades the sharpness at the edges in a blur not dramatic but rather obvious, that is recovered only with generous diaframmature. The distortion is very strong, but (as with other lenses from other manufacturers) the lens has been designed already in operation fixes the camera firmware (the software or conversion) operate automatically. In this light, the distortion is substantially imperceptible, as the rest of the fall of light at the edges. |
