This provides medium to long-range zoom capabilities, making the 55-200mm f/3,5-4.8 an excellent choice for cropping tight on landscape shots or pulling elements in the distance closer together (see the below image as an example). The 55-200mm focal length when used on a Fuji X mount camera with a 1.52x crop factor shows the same angle of view as an 80-300mm lens on a 35mm camera – see this guide for more about focal length conversions.

Imagine being able to shoot 4 or 5 stops slower than you usually would with a long-range zoom lens and still have a sharp photo!īeing able to use slower shutter speeds in low light will allow you to use lower ISOs, which in turn leads to a cleaner final image. The inbuilt image stabilisation of the 55-200mm f/3,5-4.8 is impressive, allowing the use of slow shutter speeds to prevent camera shake even when hand-holding in low light situations. Focus is silent and fast, perfectly complementing Fujifilm X mount mirrorless cameras for discreet shooting.

Shown on a X-Pro1 above, the 55-200mm f/3,5-4.8 is a relatively portable Fuji telephoto lens that offers impressive image quality right across its wide zoom range. I use a 35mm lens for 95% of my own wedding photography work – it’s just such an incredibly flexible focal length. Unless you absolutely need the fastest glass you can buy (for low light shooting), I’d actually recommend investing in the 23mm f/2 WR and spending what you save on education.Ģ3mm on a Fuji mirrorless camera body has a 35mm equivalent focal length on a full-frame sensor, the field of view of choice for street photographers, wedding photographers and any other photographer who wants a storytelling lens that’s versatile enough for portraits, landscapes and everything in between. You’ll have a hard time deciding between this f/2 Fuji lens and the f/1.4 variant in fact since the f/2 offers very similar image quality at almost half the price (and weight!) of the f/1.4 lens. It’s just as sharp throughout its aperture range as its big brother the f/1.4, and most importantly, excels wide open at f/2. However, you’ll not want to reserve the 23mm f/2 WR as a mere backup, since the image quality it offers is superb. Weighing in at only 180g, this little lens is one of the lightest in the range, and so small that you could keep it in your jacket pocket all day as a backup and not even notice it there.įujifilm X-T2 + 23mm f/2 | f/5.6 | 1/3200 | ISO200 | © Jonas Rask The next impressive feature of the 23mm f/2 WR s its weight. You’ll see it on a few of the other Fujifilm lenses, including the 50mm f/2, 16mm f/1.4, 35mm f/2 and 90mm f/2, so in theory, my incredibly scientific ‘running water’ test is possible with all these lenses too (although you’ll need to be using one of Fuji’s weather-resistant camera bodies like the X-T4.)Īs you can see, ‘weather resistant’ is a bit of an understatement, and bears testament to the incredible build quality of the 23mm f/2 WR lens. The ‘WR’ in the name of the 23mm f/2 WR stands for ‘weather-resistant. I have held a 23mm f/2 WR attached to a Fujifilm X-T2 under a running tap! When Fujifilm Australia kindly lent me one of their best mirrorless cameras for this lens review, they told me to have a go at this little stunt, and my jaw was on the floor…

There are a few reasons why I think this impressive lens should be the first lens you consider when buying a Fuji mirrorless camera. It’s also the best Fuji prime lens if want that elusive 35mm focal length on a budget -) The 23mm f/2 WR is a bit of a special weapon in the lineup and one that deserves a mention. I’ve already reviewed a 23mm lens (the aforementioned f/1.4 version), so why the need to include another one? So let’s take a look at the best Fuji lenses right now. The compact, lightweight, high quality and affordable lens selection are the major drawcards of the Fujifilm mirrorless camera system. What are the Best Fuji Lenses in 2022? Image
