One Lens for All: A Review of the Fujifilm XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens

For a lot of photographers, a superzoom is the lens they can leave on their camera most of the time for walking around and tackling whatever they can throw at it. For Fuji shooters, the closest lens is the XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens, and this great video review shows you how it holds up in practice. 

Coming to you from Christopher Frost Photography, this excellent video review takes a look at the XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens. With an equivalent range of 27-206mm, it is an interesting option for Fuji shooters looking for a single lens that can handle a wide variety of situations. It features two extra-low dispersion elements for reduced chromatic aberrations and improved clarity, four aspherical elements for reduced distortion and improved sharpness, HT-EBC (High Transmittance Electron Beam Coating) for reduced flares and ghosting and improved contrast, linear autofocus motor, optical stabilization system with up to five stops of compensation, dust- and moisture-sealing, and a rounded seven-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh. Altogether, the XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 looks like a versatile and durable lens for Fuji shooters; check out the video above for Frost's full thoughts.
