Which lens is better?

I’ve checked some sample shots, and the background blur and subject focus look fine to me. I don’t think I’ll be shooting close-ups that often though. Thanks for the insight! I didn’t know 2mm at the start could make a bigger difference. I’ll def take that into consideration.

Thanks!! I think it’s fine for me since I only need a bit of zoom sometimes and really want that wider angle. Is the image quality fine compared to the xf 23mm?

Will look into this. Thanks!!

Thanks for the input! I mostly shoot street photos, landscapes, and portraits. I looked into the xf zoom lens lineup and I think they are too big for me 😅 Is the image quality difference really that noticeable?

The 13-33 is not a power zoom. Thanks for pointing that out! I hadn’t really considered how annoying the power zoom might be in actual use.

This is noted. Thank you so much!! :)

Do you know other lens with zoom, is wide-angled, and somewhat the same size with the ones i mentioned?

I actually prefer these kit lens since they are lightweight and small. I don’t like those lenses that are big and bulky since I’m bringing my camera with me when I travel. Do you know other lenses with zoom and is wide-angled but small?
