I just got the fuji xs20 because I heard it was good for beginners but now I am totally lost looking at lenses. I am going to Japan in three weeks and I really just want one lens that can do everything so I dont have to keep swapping them out while walking around Kyoto. I honestly dont know the difference between all the numbers and letters like f2.8 or whatever and it is so confusing.
- budget is around $800 max
- mostly for temples and street food
- needs to be light for walking all day
Should I just get the 18-55 one everyone talks about or is there a better zoom for a trip like this? I just want my photos to look better than my phone...
I have been very satisfied with the Fujifilm XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS for my travel needs. It is a reliable choice that works well in most situations. For a lighter alternative, the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Contemporary for Fujifilm X is also quite popular. It offers a constant f2.8 aperture, tho I basically find the Fuji stabilization makes it a safer choice for beginner handheld shots.
