#Fujifilm xpro 4 manual

Street photographers flock to Fujifilm cameras, and the 23mm f/1.4 was built for exactly that. We do find 18mm at the wide end (27mm equivalent) to be too narrow for true landscape specialists, but this is a great travel and people lens for those who don’t want to spend huge for Fujinon primes. Sharpness and color rendition are excellent and it has a sturdy metal build to boot. The 18-55mm f/2.8-4 is the kit lens offered with the X-T1, but with a faster-than-usual maximum aperture, it’s no slouch. In classic Fujifilm fashion, the company disregarded the notion that 18-55mm lenses have to be mediocre from an optical perspective. What we don’t: Not an all-in-one lens solution like the 18-135mm. What we like: Great build quality and reasonably fast for a mid-range zoom. Walk Around and Portrait Lenses Fujinon 18-55mm f/2.8-4 ($699)

For comparison, the Zeiss 12mm Touit has similar optics and is more than double the cost.

Manual focusing may be a hurdle for some photographers (we found it to be a bit clunky on this lens), but we love the sharpness and build quality. But perhaps most impressive is its maximum aperture of f/2, which is terrific for astrophotography and other low light photography. This manual focus lens comes in a variety of mounts and is very reasonably priced at just over $300. Given the rather expensive wide-angle lens options for the X-Pro2 above, we are thinking outside the box with the Rokinon 12mm f/2.0. What we don't: Manual focus isn’t for everyone. What we like: A great value for a wide-angle lens. Another popular option is the fast Fujinon 16mm f/1.4, but that lens is heavier and we prefer the 21mm equivalent focal length. Based on the price similarities, we favor the 10-24mm above for the versatility, but the 14mm f/2.8 is another outstanding lens. The lens also features a sturdy all-metal build and produces sharp, high-quality images with minimal distortion. With a focal length equivalent of 21mm on a 35mm camera, it’s wide enough for grand landscapes but not too wide (you can read more about our favorite focal lengths for landscapes here).

If you frequently shoot landscapes or other wide-angle photos but don’t want to go the zoom route, the Fujinon 14mm f/2.8 is the leading prime lens for the X-Pro2. What we like: One step faster than the 10-24mm above. We would love to see weather sealing added in the future for our fellow outdoor photographers, but it’s still a top-notch wide-angle option. And many of the issues that are commonly found with wide-angle zooms-heavy distortion, vignetting and softness-just aren’t present on this lens. Aside from that, you get superb optics with great sharpness and fast autofocus. The only notable shortcoming is the f/4 maximum aperture, but the lens does have optical image stabilization for low light. The wide-angle lens options for the X-Pro2 are strong, and our top pick is the 10-24mm f/4. What we like: Super sharp and fast autofocus. Wide-Angle Lenses Fujinon 10-24mm f/4 ($799) For an even faster option, see the 35mm f/1.4 below. Editor’s Note: At the time of publishing this kit was made “currently unavailable.” We will keep up to date with whether or not it will return as well as future kit options for the X-Pro2. This issue aside, the 35mm f/2 is a superb lens that will help your X-Pro2 shine. However, there is no discount with the kit: the 35mm f/2 is approximately $400 more than the camera, the same cost as the lens on its own. With this compact and lightweight lens you get good sharpness and excellent low light performance at a very reasonable price point. What we like: Small in size yet packs a punch in terms of image quality.įujifilm is best known for street photography and portraiture, so it’s no surprise that the kit lens offered with the XPro2 is the 35mm f/2 (Fujifilm also favors prime lenses over zooms, so bucking the kit zoom trend is no surprise either). Accordingly, you’ll find fewer third-party lenses than usual on the list as Fujinons simply are that good.įujifilm X-Pro2 Kit Lenses Fujinon 35mm f/2 ($2,198 with the X-Pro2) Fujifilm lenses go by the “Fujinon” moniker and are among the finest around in terms of image and build quality.
