Fuji has made an app that allows you to test all of their lenses on your smart phone or tablet before you buy. That's pretty nifty, if you ask me. If you're trying to make a decision on what focal length or how a particular image would look with a particular lens, this app will let you test it out. I suppose one could rent a lens before hand to truly get the right info, but Fuji has made something that at least puts you in the ballpark of understanding. You get enough information to make at least a smart decision.
The app allows you to select the lens and aperture you want, and then allows you to take a virtual picture. If you select a zoom lens, the you're also allowed to choose your focal length. After you take a virtual picture, it's displayed with all the settings. Now it gets a wee bit interesting here. Take the same picture with a different focal length and add them both to your lightbox for comparison. That's handy when trying to make a choice.
The app also lets you look at the work of other X-Pro Photographers. I'm making the switch to Fuji myself, so this app might come in handy for making lens decisions.
