Cinema5D posted the full technical review of the new Fuji 18-5mm E-mount Cine lens:
Because as a whole this is a well-performing, lightweight cine lens that is ideal for documentary-style shooters, it has convinced us with the following attributes in our test:
- Very good edge-to-edge sharpness in 4K throughout the range
- No focus breathing
- Minimal chromatic aberration
- Much nicer colors, contrast and image than the Canon photo lens we tested
And Photogearnews tested the this lens for stills photography:
What exactly do images from the Fujinon 18-55mm T2.9 look like? Filmmaking is all about ‘a look’. Filmmakers pay thousands and thousands of pounds to get lenses that have a certain contrast, bokeh and sharpness to them. From our initial photos the Fujinon 18-55mm T2.9 lens looks to be a great option as a manual focus lens for stills photograph. It may not be as critically sharp as a fixed lens, but the out of focus areas look smooth and beautifully rendered, and the lens has a nice natural level of contrast.
