Fujifilm FUJINON XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR Lens

I LOVE this lens. It's now my main walk around, go-to all rounder, and it's stunning - image quality, handling, and build wise. I also have the 18-55 so I'm well aware of the differences between the two. I wasnt sure about buying this lens after reading all the comments about how big and heavy it is, but frankly if you value image quality over versatility and can afford the extra, the choice is a no brainer. In terms of size its considerably lighter than the Nikon 17-55 I used with DSLRs, and I dont find its size the issue others make out. It is quite a wide lens, but I find that makes it nicer to hold when shooting - it just feels good and, well, solid. (Slight caveat - I do have big hands). The lack of OIS isn't a deal breaker for me either although it would be a nice option. The fixed 2.8 aperture goes some way to cancel the need out, but then that's why this lens is the size it is. I've found that the difference in image quality between the 18-55 and the 16-55 is visible - even without pixel peeping - this lens is sharper at low apertures and exhibits better contrast in most lighting situations. It's truly a professional grade lens and feels reassuringly like it wont let you down.I always find one lens in my kit that stays on the camera most of the time, and the 16-55 is it. Overall I'd say if you were choosing between the 18-55 and the 16-55 and you value image quality over versatility, it's no contest.

Sono molto soddisfatto. Veloce, silenzioso e preciso. La nitidezza non manca indipendentemente dalla lunghezza focale e apertura. Pesa 650gr ma invece di andare in giro con 4-5 obbiettivi secondo me basta questo.

Estaba necesitando un zoom y este es el que elegí... y no me equivoquéEs grande pero no queda para nada desequilibrado en mi XT5La calidad de imagen excelente, el viñeteo y la distorsión son imperceptibles, AF silencioso y precisoSi bien no es pequeño ni liviano abarca la gama focal que uso con mis lentes fijas y tengo todo en uno sin resignar calidad, ya es mi única opción para llevar de viaje

Perfect 2.8 opening

Brilliant lens
