Reviews by Erik Valind

The variable focal length on this lens means I can use it in virtually any situation — indoors or out. It has a sharp and fast focus, and steady OIS that I’ve come to expect from Fuji lenses.

This lens produces great colors, gorgeous bokeh, and has quick and accurate focusing. But beyond that, it’s also loaded with vibration compensation, keeping it shake-free in low light and at slow speeds.

The long focal length of this lens makes it perfect for outdoor shooting. I've used it to capture everything from surfing to wildlife images. It has 5 stops of image stabilization so your images are free of shake, even when you’re at the maximum setting, and it’s weather-sealed and durable with a really impressive build quality.

This is my go-to lens when on the job. It is sharp, fast-focusing, and whether you’re using it at the wide or telephoto ends, it has impressive performance. Better yet, because it’s weather-sealed, I can take it on my most adventurous shoots.

Whether it’s for environmental portraiture or shooting landscapes, you can’t beat this sharp fixed focal lens. It can handle low-light situations with ease, it’s quick and dependable, and the bokeh on it is unmatched.
