– Fuji XF 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens — a hands-on review at aboutphotography-tomgrill: “If it’s bokeh you’re after in selective focus, this lens is not going to have it. The slow maximum apertures work against it. Once again, however, Fuji has surprised us with a few tricks up their sleeve to deliver the best performance from a lens type that is typically only suited for amateur or very casual shooting. The weather-resistance, new auto-focus, incredible vibration reduction range, and fine optical performance helps make this a lens hold its own in the Fuji optical line up.”

– Initial Impression of the new Fujifilm 18-135 lens at vicsfujixblog: “My initial impressions after I have literally had this lens in my possession for five hours- Outstanding! It has the usual Fuji quality, produces sharp pics, has a nice weight, the zoom and aperture ring move perfectly and it is a joy to carry around on the X-T1. I feel it is a great value for $899. I could easily travel with just this lens. I have a wide-angle and short telephoto. I could do close-ups, landscape and portraits too. Great lens. Buy it!”

– FUJINON XF 18-135mm F3.5/5.6 WR OIS – Reviewed at bokeh-monster: “Once you sum up all the points from the widely varying situations we tossed its way, it has to be said, although it performed admirably, it is terribly boring, with little character. It does what it does with no surprises. It is very suited to small aperture photographers (situations which benefit large depths of field, for example landscape work) and covers a general purpose focal range which will get you by for most situations. You could definitely do worse for a travel lens. And as long as action stopping low light photography with razor thin bokeh are not part of your repertoire, then the new FUJINON 18-135 mm might just be the one you have been waiting for.”
