just made in japan....
made in metal shell... better outlook...
缺點:
focus is really NOT accurate. i normally use 'area' focus mode, even it gives green signal, outcome is that the photo is so obscure. this issue is much better on XC15-60. at the end for so many times i had to turn to 'manual' focus mode, that gives me so much trouble.
it loses focus even more easily than which of XC15-60mm.
in terms of colour, maybe not much different... but i had a feeling XC16-50mm gives a bit more colourful images.
distortion...i cannot compare, some angles it seems a bit better, but it gives a different kind of distortions than that of XC16-50mm. my conclusion is... both have rather serious distortion problem which I have problems with.
I regret I bought this. to me this one give no differences in terms of distortion and the rest of the condition it gives no advantages and even worse than XC15-60mm.
評價:
i first bought an XM-1 with kit lens XC16-50mm, it was ok but the distortion was too serious for me, then I bought the XF35mm F1.4, very good, maybe i was not used to the narrow angle(or focus length) but i loved it after a while.
So I thought this made-in-japan lens, XF18-55mm would give a better distortion and as long as other factors remain the same, i'd be ok. But now,,, I REALLTY DISLIKE IT SO MUCH!!!! DIFFICULT TO USE, IT GIVES NO GOOD IMAGES. EVEN WORSE THAN XC15-60MM. i actually kinda regret I have bought it. I bought it at DCFEVER mongkok, HK$2680
