==Mini Review==
I did a lot of research before ultimately buying the Fuji 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R XF LM OIS WR Lens. It's older, and lacks in several areas. However, from the perspective of a videographer or even a photographer who wants to minimize their need to switch or bring additional gear, this lens packs a serious punch. When you consider that it can replace two lenses, a wide and a telephoto, yet still produce great results, it's worth considering. I give a verbal comparison to the FUJIFILM XF 16-80mm f/4 R OIS, and explain how this slight competitor does not offer as much value or functionality. Likewise I also compare it to my XC 50-230mm and explain how it's lack of wide functionality, makes it inferior.

Thanks for the review man! Very helpful
Nice!! I’m from VA too. Nova. Really thinking about getting this lens. I also love your colors in your video. Can I ask what settings you used on your camera? & Is that all f-log footage? Thanks!
autofocus may lag because of f/16 (at least I faced similar issue with other camera and lens, and opening aperture a bit helped really well)
I thought the first shot was of the train station in Richmond! I love the footage man thanks for helping pick my desert island lens

no sir, but that's why the great Buddha invented the adapter. 🤣 Shooting Nikon atm and have been trying to get street shots around the city as best as possible. Going to get this lens for sure. Maybe I'll see you around after all this madness has ended. Peace.@@paulAntill
Great Video, BUT! What are those slamming artifacts in your Musik/ EFX?
Richmond 😌✊🏾
In fully manual mode, no autofocus, does the 18-135mm stay focused while zooming? I want a zoom lens for video. If I focus at a subject at 135mm and slowly zoom out to 24mm will the subject still stay in focus?

@@girmonsproductions Thanks for reply but unfortunatel this lens is not a good pick for smooth video zoom. But I found a workaround I adapted an old tv lens with power zoom. works perfectly and it's 100% parfocal with easily adjustable back focus :)

hey mate, just got one on an X-T3... But the stab is doing a weird thing. It's moving even when it's on a tripod... And of course, doing a lot of microjitter handheld. Do you experience those stuff ?

Turn image stabilisation off when using a tripod.

@@clintwood1983 I did. For this particular event I put stab. It was because of the mouvement of the ground (bass in a music concert) so there was a lot of mouvement, micro shaking. And, when I added the 100-400, the stab was working perfectly @300mm. So the stab of 18-135 is bad or just not made for videography. And of course on a tripod usually I lock the stab :)

@@clintwood1983 that was basicly my first question... Is it me or the stab is just bad ! You answered, thank you ! May be it's my product which have a problem. And I tested it in photo, it seems that it works well. Not in video 😅 i think I'll get the 18-120mm next year anyway ! 👌

@@CptCurk didn't realise there was an 18-120 coming. I'm moving from Nikon to Fuji and was looking at the 18-135mm for landscape. How did you find the image quality for stills? I'll mostly only be at f8.
Superzoom!

That alone is worth it in my opinion. Overall, not the sharpest or fastest lens, but it's so versatile!

@@paulAntill Hi. I've just bought that fujinon. It's amazing how many scens I can take on this lens. Maybe is not sharpest and fastest but here is nothing to complain about the quality. Btw, what music record did You used at the beginning of Your review 0:30- 1:10?
the video image is too poor, you need to fix it more
Unnecessary annoying music
Ok, lost me on "this is the first time I've used this lens" This is a review!!!
