Saw this lens attached to the Fuji XT2 in a shop in Romford.

Started with the xt3 and the 18-55 as the kit lens in 2020, been through countless lenses, sold of most of all lenses to be able to upgrade to the xt5, unfortunately early this year i had to sell everything fuji but the one thing i never did these 4 years was to sell the 18-55. I ended up giving it to my daughter so she could use it with her xt20 i got her for birthday. The 18-55 is one heck of a lens.

Still rockin’ my 18-55 after 8 years, I don't see letting it go anytime soon. I will give is replacement a try, but I have to admit I am in no hurry at the moment.

[michaelschmitt]

I bought mine in 2016 with an X-T10. I have loved it ever since. I use it more than my 16-55 or 16-80. I love it for street, because of it size and flexibility.

[charliejg]

Yeah, it's a really good lens. Since I don't have an 18, 23 or 35mm, I use it often like a prime. Set it to one focal length and shoot.

[alanplatt]

I have one, the price was right, it works for me, size is everything for my day to day walk about stuff.

[ocphish]

One of the first lenses I bought back in Feb 2018 when I picked up my first Fuji X camera; a pre-ordered X-Pro2. I still use the camera with this lens every week even though I have a lot of other, newer Fuji and Nikon kit now. This lens never ceases to please. Nice video Damian, thanks.

[martingreenberg]

This is my favorite Fuji lens.

The choice of focal lengths is perfect. I love the OIS, especially when most of my Fuji bodies lack image stabilization. I appreciate the fast aperture at the wide end. The size and weight are OK even on my XE2. A very versatile lens. I’d recommend any Fuji owner to own this lens.

Many people told me to get it in my kit, others told me the 16-55 f/2.8 R WR but finally I got a 16-80 f/4 R WR OIS and really happy, sharp lens and very versatile, I think it is a better option to a 18-55 and to a 16-50 or even the 16-55.

[NickBarang]

I had a great time with this lens. It balanced perfectly with my old XT-30 and I loved it. I don't really use zooms anymore, but I am tempted to pick up a copy of this as people start dumping them in favour of the new one, as it's only going to get cheaper. Great review. Cheers.

[nevillewatkins]

Love it. I've been toying with the idea of upgrading my camera. But my initial thoughts were that it limits your choice to those cameras still using the 26MP sensor, and would be counter productive on a larger sensor. Don't know.

[chrisjames]

Optically very good but it sucks in dust as bad as the 10-24 mk1 and the 55-200. I've hardly used my latest copy, it's practically brand new, used just twice, but it already has 4 or 5 large specs of dust inside. Weather sealing is important if you care about resale value or longevity.

[robertcudlipp]

Still, very happily, using this great lens, maybe the more recent mega pixel sensor beasts will demand more, however I see no problem with my images.

[tjkrueger]

It's fine... nothing stellar, nothing bad. Good value used

[michael]

great lens but if i could go back, i'd get the sigma version purely for the 2.8f constant aperture

[robertlamont]

I have this lens but the sigma 18-50 is tempting me….

[sebakrol]

My main issue with this lens is boring and unexciting to use. Dont get me wrong it is decent but that's all. Unfortunately i always prone to more demanding lenses so mostly it stays on a shelf.
