Re: Lens for X-T3

A note about weather resistance: the manufacturer will not reimburse any water damage. That means that you should always be using a camera wrap like this even with your weatherproof lenses. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/469774-REG/OP_TECH_USA_9001132_18_Rainsleeve_Set_of.html?ap=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyLDpBRCxARIsAEENsrLT73Gwr2J-D_n1ln_gh9pCL8tzUwpeXnf1J7xdYXOy6Zg4p4e-bHoaApLSEALw_wcB

I frequently shoot with the XT-3 and 18-135 in crappy weather, and always use this wrap. There are so many videos of XT-_'s breaking in rain, even with weatherproof lenses. The weatherproof is added insure for when water inevitably makes its way inside the wrap.

My input is to get the 18-55 based on what I've read from others on the forums and also based on sharpness/vignetting tests done by professionals on both lenses. That being said, I have never owned either.

Congrats on your new purchase!
