Standard Zoom
Combining all the focal lengths of the other three options into a single lens, the versatility of a standard zoom is arguably unmatched, making it an incredibly strong choice for a travel lens. However, despite their name, there’s almost nothing standard about these optics, with countless examples offering different combinations of additional features and improved specifications. What makes it into your travel bag? It’s up to you to decide what is most important for your needs!
Try this: FUJINON XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR
An extended 5x optical zoom range that spans from a wide 27mm to a mid-telephoto 122mm full-frame equivalent focal length offers the FUJINON XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR enviable coverage that’s well suited to a wide range of travel subjects. This lens adds a fixed F4 maximum aperture to the mix, facilitating consistent exposure control throughout the zoom range – an excellent feature for creatives who dabble in video alongside stills. Up to 6.0 stops of OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) further bolsters that filmmaking capability, improving a user’s ability to work handheld at long focal lengths and slow shutter speeds. All of this comes packaged in a relatively lightweight 440g build that’s fully weather sealed and rated for temperatures down to -10°C – a formidable option for travellers.
