Pros: Lightness, sharpness, small dimensions

Cons: Distortion, backlit reflections

Opinion: A good little zoom, I use it for 2 years on the X-M1 and I have never disappointed for clarity and detail, which are placed at a good level at all focal length even at full aperture. The only flaws I found are the poor resistance to reflections (flare) in backlight, especially in the night photos with the street lamps in the frame (even with its lens hood mounted) and the strong distortion at the wide-angle focal points. On this last aspect I wanted to specify that to work raw raw use therapes, which has no self-correction profile related to this goal. However, the shorter focal length compared to the usual 18-55 is useful in different situations. As for the non-metallic construction I do not want to say much, certainly the fact that it is plastic makes it more fragile but also lighter, but I tend to change often I have not yet broken.

Pros: good sharpness at 16mm wide open, excellent 5.6 af low distortion (corrected by the software), and low chromatic aberration, and light stabilized, is used on the cheap.

Cons: missing manual control of aperture, non-metallic optical coupling, the zoom control very slowly.

Opinion: It can be an interesting choice for owners of other cameras in the X series, thanks to its lightness, the 16 mm focal length with a relatively low price when purchased in kits or used. The optical performance is good over the entire zoom range, low levels of chromatic aberrations, low distortion, this lens makes a good choice for those who prefer the result and does not have the need to have an optical pro.

Pros: Lightweight, compact enough.

Cons: plasticky, build quality, image quality is not outstanding, focus a little uncertain.

Opinion: Classic lens kit for Fujifilm mirrorless, quite modest. Nothing sensational, good lens for beginners, price a little higher end if purchased individually, image quality in line with the other objectives of the entry level kit from other manufacturers so modest. I liked the choice of wide angle slightly more stringent (16mm) than the classic 18-55, but in my opinion is too plasticky and very little pro. Hood even more plasticky lens, lightweight and sturdy feel almost nothing. I found it quite compact, the zoom ring did not like, is not quite smooth, while the ring of focus things go a bit better. On a negative note goes to maf which I thought was a bit uncertain with this objective, especially in the presence of low-light scenarios. Practically this is the lens "plasticotto" Fuji, great to start, but after a while definitely needs to be replaced with something more powerful.
