Travel Lenses Your optical guide to exploring the world of travel photography
A s if optimising your carry-on luggage wasn’t hard enough already, you’ve now decided to bring your camera on holiday. If you’re an X Series user, you’re off to a good start – lightweight bodies such as the FUJIFILM X-E5 and X-T30 III are perfect travel companions, packing plenty of performance into compact builds. However, there’s still the small matter of deciding which lens to bring along. For travel photographers, it’s a good idea to consider the kinds of subjects and settings you might expect to photograph and plan accordingly. If you’re confident in your style, a single prime lens might be sufficient. But,
if you’re unsure what you’ll be running into, versatility is the name of the game. Other key considerations for travelling image makers are the weight and footprint of your lens, as well as its robustness. Look for the WR (weather-resistance) designation at the end of Fujinon lens names to be assured of your optic’s ability to handle unexpected changes in unpredictable conditions. And if you still don’t know quite where to start, read on as we talk through some of the lens types we think are worth the suitcase space, as well as highlighting a few example optics to go alongside your X Series camera.
