The Beauty of the XF18-135 – A Must Have Lens for Travels? – Top of the Shots at the X-shooter Facebook Zone!

Okan Yilmaz‎: Salt Lake X-T1, 18-135mm www.okanyilmaz.net

It continues to amaze me, what X-shooter all over the world share at the FujiRumors Facebook Page (click “See All”).

Many images really trigger my desire to travel and to photograph the world with my X-gear. But I’ll somehow have to manage my “wanderlust” until my next longer holidays. And in the meantime, looking at your images helps me not only to get an idea of which places I could visit, but also to think about which X-gear I should eventually take with me.

In the last few months, there is particulary one X-shooter, Okan Yilmaz, who is sharing tons of great images from all around the world, mostly taken with the Fujinon XF 18-135 (now $200 off at Adorama, BHphoto, AmazonUS and FocusCamera) and the XF10-24mm (now $200 off at Adorama, BHphoto, AmazonUS, FocusCamera)

Especially the XF18-135 seems to be a perfect allrounder for travels. It’s a sturdy, weather sealed lens (I made a hardcore test ;) ), quite sharp for a super-zoom and with it’s class leading OIS, it is very useful in low light (as long as your subject isn’t moving, of course)

When it comes to select my lenses for travels, I can’t see myself travelling without my 18-135 anymore. It’s just too flexible.

So I invite you to check out todays selection and to see what the 18-135 (and other lenses) can do in the hands of passionate X-shooters :-)

Fujinon XF50mmF2 WR to be Announced along with X-A10 in November – POLL

50mmf2

Fujinon XF50mmF2 WR

According to a trusted source (thanks), Fujiiflm will announce the Fujinon XF50mmF2 WR along with the Fuji X-A10 in November.

The XF50mmF2 WR will be the third compact weather resistant F2 lens after the XF35mmF2 WR and the XF23mmF2 WR.

It’s a well known fact, that the XF35mmF2 WR is a terrific success for Fujifilm. Also the XF23mmF2 WR seems to sell like hot cakes now… and I wouldn’t be surprised if also the XF50mmF2 WR turns out to be a winner, too.

The other, long rumored lenses, like the XF33mmF1.0, XF8-16mmF2.8 WR and XF200mmF2 (or F2.8) have all been postponed, since Fujifilm wanted to focus on the small and compact F2 trinity + the 80mmF2.8 OIS WR (which replaced the 120mmF2.8 that was in the original roadmap).

And while I get it why people love those small weather sealed F2 guys so much, I hope that in 2017 Fujifilm will catch up were they dropped plans many months ago, and work again on the 33/1, 8-16/2.8 and 200mm…. would love to see them all coming in 2017…. but my personal favorite would be… the… ok, I said it in the Poll below ;)

XF23mmF2 WR Lens Hood

XF23mmF2 WR – with Lens Hood

A source (thanks!) just send me a real life image of the Fujinon XF23mmF2 WR mounted on the Fujifilm X-T2.

And let me say this: I just love that tiny XF23mmF2 WR Lens Hood! Looks very different (and even more compact) compared to the XF35mmF2 WR Lens Hood. This with the X-Pro2 will be the perfect Street-Combo!

Both, the Fujinon XF23mmF2 WR and the Fujifilm X-A3 will be annouced on August 25. Live Blogging on FujiRumors… don’t miss it :-)
