Travel, hiking and everyday carry Lens choice can make or break travel photography. Weight adds up quickly and bulky gear often ends up staying at home. High-quality lenses that don’t demand compromise in portability are perfect. A simple two-lens travel kit might include a fast prime like the XF35mmF2 for creatively shallow
Meanwhile, the FUJINON XF50mmF2 R WR’s short telephoto perspective works well for portraiture or discreet street photos. Any one of these primes will make a potent addition to one’s arsenal, and with all of them weighing 200g or under, you’ll barely notice the added weight
when you pop one in your camera bag for a day’s photography. Pancake lenses For those who want to prioritise a small form factor above all else, Fujifilm’s pancake primes are perfect picks. The recently released FUJINON XF23mmF2.8 R WR is modelled on the fixed lens of iconic cameras like the FUJIFILM X100VI – delivering a 35mm full-frame equivalent focal length with smooth autofocus and enough resolving power for the latest X Series sensors, all
depth-of-field, with the XC13- 33mmF3.5-6.3 for wider scenes. Together, they cover a huge range of situations but are still light enough to carry all day. You could even add a compact telephoto lens such as the XC50- 230mmF4.5-6.7 and you would still have a bag that won’t slow you down on long walks or hikes. Lenses
like these will make your photographic
adventures even more enjoyable. When your kit feels manageable, you can explore and shoot so much more – and that’s when better image making happens. Fujifilm understands this: the X Series lenses fit real lives and real shooting habits. Great photography isn’t just about glass quality. It’s about having the right glass, in the right size, for the real world.
within a 90g body that’s just 23mm from tip to tail. This £419 lens can turn your X Series camera into a pocketable tool for everyday use.
It’s a similar story for the £399 FUJINON XF27mmF2.8 R WR – almost identical in dimensions, it offers a slightly longer 41mm equivalent focal length in an 84g weather- resistant body. Mounted on a lightweight body like the FUJIFILM X-E5 or X-T50, these are the kinds of lenses that can open up new possibilities – you can leave them on your camera all day, whether you’re commuting, travelling or heading out for a casual walk.
