    Honestly, I stopped the video after the first 20 seconds of photos. it already proved that's the photographer's skills to make the real difference. Now I continue the vision (y)

    Your production quality is really good, pleasant. The colors are amazing, beautiful. Your photos were really good too. I'm planning to buy my first ever camera next month; X-s20 along with 18-55. I will use this for personal use mainly family, college, travel, etc and i also plan to do/learn some small level of filmmaking in future. I chose this because i think the OIS+Ibis combination wil help me in videos later. I'm actually very very excited to buy it. Have a great day🌟

    This lens is useless on the wide side at any aperture wider the f/5.6! Instead get the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary Lens for FUJIFILM X, it is less expensive and 1000% better!

    I received my 18-55mm lens as a gift from a collegue who was switching from film to digial. At the time, I did not use zoom lenses but was so impressed with the performance of this lens that I started adding zoom lenses to my prime lens inventory.

    Yeah, it's hard to believe it's a kit lens! I got a couple of primes too but tbh they hardly leave my dry cabi 😆

    I much prefer primes, but I keep my 18-55 in my bag just in case when I’m on a trip.

    If you compare it with the Sigma 18-50 2.8 then you will get the Sigma for sure.

    i have them both now, but decided to return sigma one. Optically sigma is better but I love the build quality and aparture ring in 18-55. And i think autofocus works slightly better on 18-55 But on 50mm.. 2.8 vs 4 is notificeable difference. If anyone here is bokeh addict he might not like it
