Excellent review. I have been using the 16-55mm for 4 years and it is a great lens. I had the 23mm f1.4 and 18-55mm kit lens before I bought the 16-55mm. After about a year of use I sold both the 23 and 18-55 as I rarely used them. I sometimes miss the 23mm 1.4 if I'm shooting in low light but the 2.8 of the 16-55 is very useable in low light even at higher ISO. Only negative of the 16-55mm is the weight but it is worth the extra weight when you only have to carry one lens and the quality of the images it produces. It really is like a "bag of primes" as it is often referred to.
Definitely can't go wrong with the 16-55mm if you are looking for a quality zoom for your X Mount Fuji.

This is very informative, thanks for sharing!

Ok I'm going to buy this for deep space astrophotography and wildlife photography. Thanks!

Thanks and love mine - with an X-Pro2. Never considered a mist filter - what strength do you use? Love using a CPL.

Great review and you are so right - overall, the 16-55 is super versatile and high quality lens. Personally I love the 18-55 as well, but have always found its AF performance frustrating, especially indoors. If I had it to do over, I'd have gone straight to the red badge - its a great lens. A little chunky, for sure, but that has never mattered once I reviewed the images. The smaller, lighter, more portable 18-55mm is a great companion until I go home and realize the hit rate was way lower than it seemed. And that for me has been far, far, worse than lugging a heavier lens around, even if that lens occasionally stunned me with images that are every bit as razor sharp as my best lenses.

I bought the 16-55 in 2017 in combo with my then X-T2, and like you say it is a workhorse and I have loved working with this lens. I have however found that with the newer sensors on the X-T5, I am unhappy with it's performance on the telephoto end when I am shooting portraits. I prefer my portraits being tac sharp as I can add softness during postprossesing and that way I can keep eyes sharp. I am not getting that from this lens anymore and that is why I switched to the sigma as an alrounder. Just a thought.

Can we get soft cinematic videos with this lens if paired with xh2s and ND filters?

[vallestemmer]

Is it worth to get if you have shaky hands although it has no stabilization?

[iinfinity]

hello sir
I have one question
what region is your lens? Thailand, Phillipines, or Japanese?

And thank you for your video <3

[ayakoyamamoto]

obrigado. seu vídeo foi bem esclarecedor, e foi direto ao ponto. parabéns

I just bought the version 2. Great lens.

[carlosespinosa]

Hi, thanks for your video! This lens doesn't work fine in a 40mega pixel sensor. From 30 to 55mm pictures are soft without details.

Hello Sir …. I’m from India 🇮🇳 which is very hot, humid n dusty most of the time of the year, Sir By profession I’m a Columnist but doing Street photography is becoming very attractive to me. Sir would you recommend XT4 with this kit ( 16-80mm f4 OIS WR lens ) for Streetphotography and for daily shooting purposes (as both camera and lens are Weather Resistant) ?

This combination I’m getting on Amazon in India and its within my budget

Need your help 🙏

[londonzhou]

thislens is 10 years old. Any information about coming 2nd generation of 1655？

[tmcl]

What if you already have a Tamron 17-70?

[CalmSitar-swwf]

Anybody have an aperture Ring that shows 3.2 when it's on 2.8?

[PanditaP]

Just bought one on eBay for $650 usd shipped and taxed! I'm so juiced!

[ianarigadas]

Just take note that 16-55 is really heavy.
