XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 R LM OIS overview
The Fujifilm XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 R LM OIS is an 18–55mm f/2.8–4 zoom for APS-C cameras on Fujifilm X, announced by Fujifilm in September 2012. 27 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust.
