Opinion:The best Fujinon lens I've had in stock: excellent optical quality, no intrusive flare, no AC, distortion and vignetting completely solvable. Silent and fast autofocus. Convenient filter size 77mm, common to the 24-70/24-105 f4 to which it is attributable, granite construction with very precise diaphragm ring and effective tropicalization. Compared to my fujinon 23 1.4 and 56 1.2, it is sharper and crisper at any aperture so, given this premise, I do not consider the cost a defect. Defect instead the weight and dimensions almost from Full Frame. They are already felt on X-T4 so imagine on all the other smaller bodies ... A professional perspective in all respects that brings home any job, but that in my opinion has little to do with the philosophy of use Fujifilm and the idea of aps-c.
Opinion:I bought this used lens and I was quite wary, but once mounted you immediately realize that you are dealing with a champion, who replaces several fixed optics very well. It is sharp, does not suffer from particular aberrations, has a nice contrast. The focus is fast (I use an X-H1 and an X-T3), only internal stabilization is missing, but all in all it does not seem to me a big problem. It has the only disadvantage of being big and heavy, but, for those who have had a Canon 24-70 or a Nikkor 24-70, it should not be that impressive.
Cons:All those related to bulk and weight for those who see limitations from these two factors.
Opinion:Found used only four months at a great price, I could not fail to seize the opportunity. It was therefore more of a whim than a real necessity. I will not go into the positive technical details because they are known and I have verified them too: the lens is of a non-questionable quality and the images it imprints on the sensors are just as much. I can only add that it is not suitable for those who love to be light, for those who love the street, for those who like not to give too much in the eye with the digital in hand and for those who have a reduced camera body like the X-S10 on which I grafted it. And I would add that it is a frankly wasted object for aspiring student photographers like me. Kept twenty days and resold to return to the most suitable for me 18-55 and 35 f / 1.4.
Pros:Construction, sharpness really top to all apertures. A truly professional zoom. Excellent quality.
Cons:Stabilization and hood.
Opinion:I must say that this fuji 16-55 is a really high quality lens. Truly impeccable construction. Top sharpness at all apertures also a very nice aesthetic look. Some say the weight for me mounted on an xh1 I have no problem on the weight. Of course, in smaller camera bodies, perhaps the weight of the lens can somehow create some discomfort. Surely the stabilization is missing and this involves buying a car with the stabilizer perhaps the negative thing is that. The hood is not always effective at mounting it. Lens absolutely recommended.
Pros:Absurd sharpness, quality from materials, photo/video autofocus
Cons:There is a lack of stabilization. External zoom, with the barrel (at least in my case) that does not transmit solidity when it is completely leaked. MAF obscene manual, very uncomfortable.
Opinion:Zoom required if you own fuji system. Optically incredible, bearable weight and allows you to do anything almost without compromise, as if it contained four prime lenses. The loss of "bokeh" compared to a 24-70 FF in my opinion is not as important as you want to make believe, I invite you to go and see a comparative to get an idea, especially when you consider that for a few millimeters of blur more you have to pay triple compared to an apsc system. With her I shoot often at 2.8 and the image is very clear, the only drawback is a slight vignetting only at TA. Perfection is achieved by closing at 5.6, as we are now used to with any lens. Absolutely recommended, too bad for the OIS, although they say that they did it to reduce the size, weight and optical quality, and that on the contrary it would not have been so compact. I prefer lenses with internal zoom for reasons of robustness and resistance to atmospheric agents but it is a personal opinion, so it is undoubtedly comfortable to store in a possible bag. Last note is perfect for video, resolution in the 4k upscalate of the XT3 that leaves you breathless, soft and silent focus, even if you are forced to use the continuous af, since the ring of the maf returns an unpleasant feeling of non-precision and does not allow work up. It counts the fundamental focal lengths to shoot and so much below 2.8 you never go down if you want to have the faces completely in focus. P.S. all lenses with internal magnetic focus (so practically the whole fuji system) look like maracas when they are turned off, since the optical assembly is free to slide on the rails. It does not happen only to fuji but to anyone who produces the af with this method, it is not a reason not to buy it, nothing happens.
