This 3.4x standard zoom lens for Fujifilm X-series interchangeable lens cameras provides a field of view equivalent to a 24-84mm lens on a 35mm camera, and sports a fast constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, weather sealed construction and costs around £880.

Fuji's first pro zoom is a bold step forward for X mount.

This is the lens that lives on my X-T2. I use it for about 90% of my shooting. It's sharp, fast and light enough to be a workhorse. Weather sealing is a nice feature as well. It has not let me down mechanically or optically and I've been using it nearly a year.

This is my go to Fuji lens. The quality is exceptional at all focal lengths.

Versatile and useful lens for high IQ mid wide angle and short telephoto. For me, it's just within the range of portability in terms of size and weight. This is a beautiful piece of engineering and precision.

Great zoom lens. I migrated from Nikons, which I had used for 30 years to all Fuji. This lens I would say is better than any Nikon zoom lens, that I had previously used. Like most Fuji lens this is razor sharp. A joy to use on my X-T2s.

Great for multiple uses, all around great performer.

I bought this for my xpro 2 unfortunately it feels too unbalanced for me to use as an event lens. Used it once and back in the box it went. Will be returning it this week.

I love this lens, even though I have had only a limited time to use it. It is sharp, fast, and a perfect walkaround lens and very functional for portrait and closer up landscape work.
