Fujinon XF 18-55mmF2.8-4 Declared Among All Time Best Kit Lenses… and Yet it Gets Replaced Soon

Chris and Jordan made a list of the best 5 kit lenses of all time. In the list we find:

I was a very happy owner of the Fujinon XF18-55mmF2.8.4 myself. It was the lens that took one of my all time favorite images.

The only reason I don’t own it anymore (and I sold it along with my XF55-200mm), is that I got this XF lens that replaced them both.

But I totally agree: the XF18-55mmF2.8-4 is one of the best kit lenses we have ever seen.

However, despite being still an awesome lens, it is going to be replaced by the Fujinon XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8, as we first told you from a beautiful mountain peak in the Dolomites.

In fact, we have also leaked the images already as well as additional (highly welcome) specs.

Check out below the rumors regarding the Fujinon XF16-50mm f/2.8-4.8.

FR-Readers Wishlist Corner: XF 135mm F2 LM WR, Fujifilm X-E5 Pro, GFX72H, Special Edition X100V, XF 50-140mm F2.8 MKII, Medium Format X100 and More

It’s Christmas time. Time for wishlists and dreams.

And here on FujiRumors this means wishing and dreaming of gear that, if not this year, Santa Claus will hopefully make find us under the Christmas tree for 2024.

So here is a selection of wishes that I have received from FujiRumors community and that I now I am happy to share with all of you. Feel free to let us know if there is something among it that you’d really love to get.

I sort of made my own wishlist too, where I talk about three cameras that would push Fujifilm overnight exactly where they dreamed to be by 2019. Dear Fujifilm, listen to me, and Canon, Sony and Nikon will tremble!

Feel free to read (and watch) it all down below.
