Fujifilm mkx 18 55mm t2 9 vs fujifilm xf 18 55mm f 2 8 4 r lm ois?

The XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS is the one I'd pick for almost everyone. It has autofocus and optical stabilisation, and it's brighter at the wide end. It also frames like 27-82mm on Fujifilm X bodies, so it covers a lot of everyday shooting.

The Fujifilm MKX 18-55mm T2.9 is a different tool. It's a manual-focus cinema zoom with geared rings, a constant f/2.9 and no stabilisation. It frames the same as the XF, so choose it only if you shoot video with a follow focus rig or want fully manual control.

Both fit the same Fujifilm X bodies. If you're starting out, the Lenses guide explains where a zoom like this fits in a first kit.
