A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

Conclusions Recent lenses for the Fuji X system have been consistently excellent, but the Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR is more down to earth. If you're expecting an optically perfect gem, you'll be disappointed.

Strong center sharpness; 7.5x zoom ratio; Image stabilization system; Even illumination from corner to corner; Quick focus; Sturdy, weather-sealed build

Inconsistent edge quality; Some distortion at 18mm; Expensive

Given its $899.95 asking price and the superb performance delivered by most modern Fujinon lenses, the Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR is somewhat disappointing. The zoom matches the field of view of many premium kit lenses for APS-C camera systems, sports a design that protects it from dust and splashes, and is housed in a sturdy barrel. Image quality is strong at the center of the frame, but edge performance is on the weak side at the widest and longest zoom settings. If you already own the standard Fujinon XF 18-55mm F2.8-4 R LM OIS ($385.99 at Amazon) ($699.95), you're better off supplementing it with the XF 55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS ($699.00 at Amazon) , which is a stronger performer and less expensive. Neither of those lenses are weather-sealed, so you'll want to decide if the optical inconsistencies are worth the convenience of an all-in-one design that can be used on rainy and snowy days. DesignThe 18-135mm ($899.95 at B&H Photo Video) measures 3.9 by 3...

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR lens is well made and covers a long zoom range, but we expect more consistent performance at this price point.

Strong center sharpness; 7.5x zoom ratio; Image stabilization system; Even illumination from corner to corner; Quick focus; Sturdy, weather-sealed build

Inconsistent edge quality; Some distortion at 18mm; Expensive

Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

At the time Fujifilm announced the Fujinon XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR, they made quite a fuzz about it ... but then that's what marketeers do. The truth is in the pudding and the pudding doesn't taste all that great.

This 7.5x super-zoom lens for Fujifilm X-series interchangeable lens cameras provides a field of view equivalent to a 27-206mm lens on a 35mm camera, optical stabilisation and costs around ￡750. This lens also sports a weather resistant construction.

Very good lens for streetphotography. Unfortunately only F 3.8 max. Weather Resistance is perfect. Very well built.

Size when extended

Shown in Fujifilm's lens roadmap as due for release mid-year, the Fujinon XF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR is officially announced today (Monday, June 16). Covering a focal length range equivalent to 27-202.5mm, the XF 18-135mm will be welcomes by many owners of X-mount cameras for its versatility,...

With Fuji making waves with its stream of new mirrorless releases, its lenses are equally renowned. The 18-135mm offers a huge 27-206mm 35mm equivalent, with a widest aperture of f/3.5.
