Cons:Autofocus slowness at the first shot, perhaps the brightness not very high
Opinion:I purchased this lens for my XE2-S to complete the kit (XF 18-55, XF 27). I was skeptical because I was disappointed in the past by zooms (mainly vintage). After trying it I declare myself very satisfied, it is also perfect for my "small" camera body that is not weighed down or unbalanced. The autofocus works perfectly even in low light, it's just a bit slow on the first shot. The stabilizer does a great job and you can photograph with peace of mind without risking blurred photos, at least during the day. It is judged to be not very bright, but for daytime and even evening use, both the sensitivity of the sensor and the stabilizer easily compensate for this aspect. Really recommended especially for light camera bodies.
Opinion:Purchased a few days ago from the few shots taken, it generated a positive impression on me. Considering weight, features, quality and price I think it is a valid companion to circulate together with the 15-45. The demonstration that in reality you do not need so much money to get a noteworthy image quality. Surely there is better but you must be willing to spend 2 to 3 times more. For me honestly not worth it.
Opinion:It is a zoom to always carry in your bag given the very small size and weight. Of course it cannot be compared to lenses of the same higher range focal length, but for the use for which it was designed it is a very valid lens. The stabilization works pretty well and the autofocus doesn't miss a beat, at least in my short experience of a month. I find it great for those situations in which you either have a 300 mm equivalent or do not take the picture; In fact I bought it for this reason in addition to the fact that I could use it for landscapes.
Cons:If you accept it for what it is and for what it costs (both new and used where it maintains a good rating), practically nothing
Opinion:Those who buy it know what they do and therefore accept the joys and sorrows of this canvas. Despite everything good sharpness, very light optics so (as preceded me) practically pocket-sized, a bit dark, but you can not have everything and in any case it is a stabilized optics. Of course the diaphragm ring is missing (so dear to Fujifilm users and also to me), to manage the stabilization you need to enter the menu, the responsiveness of the AF-S is not always perfect (but perhaps it also depends on my X-T2), for astrophotography I do not see it very suitable, but all in all, for the landscape and / or reportage I see it satisfactory. I also made several portraits and I must say that I was satisfied (maybe it's me who is satisfied?). However I went back I would definitely buy it again.
Pros:Light, sharp, stabilized, excellent value for money
Cons:For what was designed nothing.
Opinion:We know it when we buy it that it is a dark optics and that probably at 230 mm drops a little in performance but nothing particularly serious. With its 345 mm equivalents it is a voyeur optics, in many surrounding it allows you to seize unexpected moments of life, on more than one occasion it saved my service, having left the heavy artillery at home. Because this is a really pocket optics, which is certainly plastic but which manages to amaze in terms of general yield, it is what you do not expect from 120 euros of optics bought used online, money that you thought was thrown away but that perhaps are among the best spent ever. If it lasted even just three years I do first to buy another one without worries.
