Fujifilm XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR Verdict:

It would be churlish to compare the sharpness delivered by this lens to Fujifilm’s prime lenses, as they don’t have as many compromises to deal with. Even so, as far as superzoom lenses go, this optic delivers sharp, contrasty images and tons of convenience, thanks to the 7.1x zoom range, optical stabiliser and weather resistance. Those looking for a walk-around lens for their Fuji X-series camera should still be smitten with this lens, even if it is a touch expensive when compared to similar offerings from other camera manufacturers.

Fujifilm XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR Pros:

  • Decent sharpness
  • Robust build
  • Lightweight
  • Retro design with manual aperture ring
  • Low CA
  • Low distortion
  • Weather resistant construction

Fujifilm XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR Cons:

  • Possibly a touch expensive when compared to similar lenses from other camera manufacturers
  • Falloff in performance towards the edges of the frame at either end of the zoom range
