Is the fujifilm xf 18mm f 2 r good for landscape?

I'd call it a sensible, light landscape lens, with one caveat. On Fujifilm X bodies it frames like about 27mm on full frame. That's a moderate wide, not a dramatic ultra-wide, so it works well for layered scenes and street-style views but may feel tight for big skies or sweeping vistas.

Landscape shooting is slow and often tripod-based, as the landscape page explains, so the lack of stabilisation matters less here. Its small size is the real advantage if you're hiking. The f/2 aperture is more than enough for landscapes, which usually want to be stopped down anyway.

If you want something wider on APS-C, look at the Fujifilm XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR, which is also an 18mm. For a flexible starting point, see your first lenses.
