Honestly, calling this lens a "kit lens" is an insult to it even though it technically is a kit lens. I think it's so good I haven't bothered buying any other lens for my Fuji system yet.
I did an "OnlyLens" review that I started when testing out different lenses and this kit lens was one of my favourite kit lenses ever! Such a beast of a lens honestly!
Thanks for the video Mitch! It is a great reminder to focus on compositions, and rely less on the shallow depth of field wide aperture lenses provide in eliminating elements.
Fuji 18-55 kit lens is really good lens, underrated this i was told , but results on the XH2 were great , I shot work for a International publication on Bees and Bee Keepers , the Editor of the mag words were stunning and colours were really beautiful .
Nice video. I picked up a used XT30ii as an everyday camera, which came with this lens. I'm really enjoying the small size, and flexibility. It's a shame it goes from 2.8 so quickly though.
great Video. Way too much people just shit on kit lenses online, giving beginners a really bad feeling and basically starting GAS and a unhealthy relationship to gear in photography because its clear they don't get good photos using a "shit" lens. But the Truth is Kit lenses are great for beginner. They have a good range and allow them to try out what they like and learn about the basics.
Fugi have better Kit Lenses compare to other brands eg: 3.5-5.6 compare to Fugi's 2.8-4. That's a whole stop of extra light with Fugi's Kit lens compare to other brands.
Agreed! Fuji-film cameras don’t seem to me as comparable products. They are much more made to deliver a feeling/vibe right out of the camera. While others have a much more industrial look. Both have their pros and cons.

Keen to see more in the future with the kit lens 📸

That 18-55 goes hard, What a champ driving 8 hours to newy
The photos looks crispy broski 🎉
I grew up in Newcastle, so this made me very nostalgic. Cracking photos too 👍
Would be cool if you tested this lens in a portrait photoshoot!
Hello, congratulations very interesting video! Do you think this lens works well on the XT5??! Thanks if you answer me! Roberto
Cool photos! Nice Video. Thanks

Nice 👌 could you do a video only using film emulation on fuji ?
cam you share the recepie for the pictures?
Makes me wanna go out and use this lens!
The great job brother ❤

This!
did you use a gimbal for those moving shots?
Can someone tell me if the color rendition of the xt3 and xt5 is different?? And what are the differences?
Mitch, which of your presets did you use on the shots in this video? I’d like to purchase but would like to get this look. Thanks.
Where is a beach place ?
Clean
No one i mean no one bashed fuji kit lens. You picked the wrong lens for this kind of video.
Its worth mentioning for newer less experienced viewers.
Fugi have better Kit Lenses compare to other brands eg: 3.5-5.6 compare to Fugi's 2.8-4.

I was going to say basically the same thing. That lens is one of the best kit lenses ever made.
Miss the Sony videos 😔
UA-cam keeps on removing my subscription and notifications to Mitch... Is this just me or someone has the same issue, too???
You didn't need the X-T5. The X-T1 would have been just fine. Really more than you needed.
