We talked about this rumored lens, and even showed you some leaked images of it yesterday, and the rumors were correct as Fuji officially unveiled the new 18-135mm late last night.
This new lens adds to Fuji’s line of variable aperture telephoto zoom lenses, joining the Fuji 55-200mm and 50-230mm. The lens keeps that popular Fuji lens styling seen on all of Fuji’s recent lenses as well as the same layout as the other telephoto zooms.
Fuji 18-135mm F/3.5-5.6 Specs
- Fujifilm X-Mount
- 27-206mm (35mm Equivalent)
- Four Aspherical and Two ED Elements
- Super EBC Lens Coating
- Five-Stop-Effective Image Stabilization
- Inner Focusing System & Linear AF Motor
- Weather-Sealed Construction
- Filter Thread: 67mm
The lens was rumored to cost $1000, but luckily those were off a bit and the new lens will actually come in at $899.95. The lens is available for pre-order now over on B&H.

I’m always glad to see Fuji adding to the lens lineup but I’m really not anymore interested in this lens any more than I am for a DSLR variable aperture super zoom.
The 56/1.2 was a very nice step in the right direction and I know plenty of photographers are making the full time leap to Fuji but I really can’t entertain it until we get a 135/2 or 200/2.8 equivalent. I have to have a long fast lens for ceremonies.
