The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on September 18, 2021 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. |
 | sent on July 24, 2021 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. |

 | sent on April 23, 2021 Pros: Robust, crisp and great AF Cons: 16 mm distortion, plastic lampshed Opinion: I use it mainly for work, on the go I prefer the 18-55 because it is lighter and more comfortable even if it is not comparable. For concerts and events I use it constantly and it is very reliable, it is one of those optics that gives you safety. The AF is quiet and it's very good even on x-t1 on x-t2 and x-t3 on single AF is a sniper. I also like the chromatic rendering and when I have to photograph the actors during make up it also makes a great blur so it makes it a lens on which a professional can rely for a moment and for the price it costs it is a bargain. I come from nikon's 24-70 2.8 which is a fantastic lens, and that doesn't make me regret it. In fact, since it weighs almost half, I'd say I'd never go back. I also like how it makes at 2.8 I don't see visible flaws on the image. The only thing is that it's not an optics to do architecture because it distorts exactly like nikon's 24-70, but they're optics born to do something else and so a professional knows it. I personally always carry with me the 14 2.8 because for the photos where I want the straight lines I mount on the 14th which is a show! Ultimately, professional optics in every respect, a tank, mounted on an x-t2 with grip you can really go to war. |
  | sent on March 04, 2021 Pros: Speed and reliability Cons: No one, not even the VR that's missing. Opinion: Bought together with the machine body does not miss a shot, versatile and reliable, I always keep it mounted on xt3, not yet tried on xt30 (Who knows why), FAST and precise AF. It doesn't weigh me that much even though it's solid and robust. It's worth the money spent. I do wedding and for me it is a guarantee, at 2.8 it returns a blurry that I personally like very, soft and pleasant. I really recommend to those who are interested. It's worth the money spent. |
user148470  | sent on September 11, 2020 Pros: Construction, 2.8 constant, WR, sharpness Cons: Lens hood Opinion: It could be the definitive lens, it allows you to make landscape but also to make portraits with a good blur. Quite heavy tends to unbalance even the XH1. Af great, he never makes mistakes. Sharp to any focal point and opening. The lampshade is the usual plastic and after a while the fastening system is ruined. I've never missed stabilization even when used on XT1. |
 | sent on July 21, 2020 Pros: Image quality, autofocus, WR, 2.8 on all focal points Cons: Weight and footprints, lack of stabilization Opinion: Let's start with the things I didn't like: weight and clutter. It's really cumbersome and to use it with an xt-2 absolutely needs an additional grip. The lack of stabilisation I can understand, since it would have further affected the size. That said, it's a wonderful goal, the quality is almost on par with the fixed (in my opinion it gives the best at 23mm) and the constant f/2.8 is very useful in many situations. Why did I go from the classic 18-55 f/2.8-4 to this? Mainly for the autofocus, which on the 18-55 I do not find absolutely reliable and much slower. Beware, for the price it has is definitely great, but not up to this 16-55, even talking about the image quality. Even the 2mm on the wide side are very comfortable. I also passed for the 14mm f/2.8, which I consider extraordinary as a yield, but I needed a zoom. If you want a reliable zoom with an almost fixed quality, this is for you. |
user63757 | sent on March 08, 2020 Pros: Sharpness, Nano Crystal. Cons: Heavy, Distortions. Opinion: Or used this lens for a short time then sold. Pro.Excellent construction with perfect mechanics excellent rings also present tires on the ring, sharpness nothing to say excellent. Against Very High Distortion 5% ok overall high on Fuji wide-angle zooms but a professional lens you can expect something better. Focal and Brightness 16-55 f2.8 I wonder what to photograph for Photography Reportage too visible and heavy also lacks fixed optical brightness are brighter example 16 1.4 23 1.4.Il 16-55 trips too heavy better a more compact zoom plus a fixed light type 35 1.4 that also compact. It can be recommended for those who take landscape photography but in general more closed diaphragms are used even for better fixed portrait brighter also Zoom 16-55 in certain situations of nervous Bokeh light this a personal consideration of mine I find better blurred on fixed optics. Beyond my very personal criticism the 16-55 optically very high currently costs less than the new 10-24 II Fuji but the 16-55 much brighter f2.8 a higher yield focal 24 mm and nano crystal treatment lenses excellent backlight behavior and contrasts I would definitely recommend this optics as a zoom all do. |
 | sent on January 10, 2020 Pros: WR Good Sharpness Autofocus Fast Cons: Maybe a little hail compared to the basic bodies Opinion: Use This Goal from a year. it's built all great and has a good sharpness already from 2.8 on the whole frame certain 2.8 on apsc not from that super blurry that one would expect (I prefer the bright fixtures) but cmq is a great all-round lens to do a little bit of everything Combined with just bodies maybe sbilanc Ia a little but with battery grip is perfect Maybe with the stabilizer it would have been perfect. We will wait for the Mark II As I hope in the Mark II of all the light fixtures because the competition is bringing out stellar lenses... |
 | sent on January 05, 2020 Pros: Versatile, WR, beautiful, optical quality, not too big nor heavy, Cons: Nobody Opinion: Everyone says it's heavy and nn has stabilizer, I use it on xt2 and nn I struggle to keep it without BG , resistant to flare so much that sometimes I struggle to make it , perfect focals for travel museums events and even for street there is nothing that does not do very well , nn I have never loved zooms , but this makes me think again every time I use it xké is too comfortable and has a fixed yield. There is no point in complaining about stabilization. When it rains I only use this and beautiful nn worry about nothing. X the street I usually use the 18 which is tiny, but even with the 16-55 nn I find it problematic to do the same thing because in hand it feels manageable and conveys a practicality that makes you feel inconspicuous. Moreover you can shoot at 2.8 without problems because it always makes excellent. On the road instead I practically never detach it, except for an ultra-grandangle when the 16 nn is enough (rarely) well portraits and still Life. Frankly once you realize that it's a zoom and that as such you have to consider it is perfect. |
 | sent on November 26, 2019 Pros: Construction, materials, top sharpness Cons: Heavy, stable only with Battery Grip or XH1, stabilizer Opinion: Since I bought it hardly the deadlift... I think it is, in my honest opinion, the best all do in the APSC category. Nitido already at full opening, excellent resistance to flares, AC practically nothing, lampshade of excellent workmanship and with a great hook, filters from 77. The only "painful" note, if we're going to look for one, is the weight... it makes itself felt! especially on small Fuji machine bodies. Tested on xpro1 is really complicated to handle; The Killer combo for this lens is the XH1 that I purchased specifically to use this lens (I abandoned XT2). Another sore point is the lack of stabilizer but, even here, XH1 and passes the fear! |
 | sent on November 24, 2019 Pros: Sharpness, microcontrast, MAF speed, non-existent AC, PRO construction, great quality to any diaphragm, focal and frame area Cons: No IS, size for almost all Fuji bodies Opinion: It is the ultimate lens in the standard APS-C zooms. My reference has so far been the Nikkor 17-55, this is even sharper at TA and more correct. As long as you do not use some fixed first 1.4-1.2 in a controlled environment, because they are very slow compared to 16-55, it makes no sense to turn with 2-3 fixed instead of just this lens, the results are often better and the weight is equal, without even changing Lens. The real problem is in size, most Fuji bodysuits are a can of tuna, I only took it by switching to X-H1, the body that enhances it by giving it stabilization, but also an excellent grip, on the T2 to use it easily I needed the grip Additional. It has discrete Macro abilities, it's lightning, the definition that allowed me to shoot absurd ISO sports but preserving the detail even to stratospheric sensibilities, the AF does not spring, it is a rock, you can travel the world and it's fine for the Milky Way because even if it has u n bit of distortion at 16, has no coma. I had 24-70 F4 IS and 24-105L on dear FF bodies and did not have in the least the performance of this optics. I'm very curious to try the 50-140. P.s. who compares it with 18-55 has never really taken it in his hand, one is a great optics... Kit! With all the limitations starting with spherical aberration, AF limits and construction, the 16-55 is a full-fledged pro lens and there's ALWAYS. |
 | sent on January 24, 2019 Pros: Microcontrast, construction, brightness, AF speed, real handyman Cons: Weight, lens hood so-so, absence VR Opinion: Taken at the time of the return in Fuji coupled with T3. I have always avoided it before since I preferred the fixes or a whole make cheaper. By the time I realized that a zoom, when you're traveling or anyway when you do not know what scenes you will present in front, is priceless. Also in my opinion a whole making worthy of this name must start from 24 equivalent. In Fuji There are no alternatives except the 16-50 or 16-45 that are optical plastic kits, with good optical performance to tell the truth, but that limit you a bit for the brightness and the absence of tropicalization. The 18/55 is a 28 equivalent is not tropicalized and the AF is slower. Here's the thing that amazed me favorably is just the speed of MAF. Equal to the last fixed F2. Not to mention that put at 55 and 2.8 allows good portraits. Even in landscaping if the quarry beautifully seen the sharpness offered. Suffers only from 16 of the classic distortion of these zooms, even professional, as you should consider this 16-55, a professional lens in all respects, including constructive. Useless then complaining about that much of the weight. Negative point the absence of the stabilizer. (see case on H1, a My opinion Mio L perfect coupled in terms of use and ergonomics). |
 | sent on November 30, 2018 Pros: Build quality, tropicalization, focal range, sharpness, responsiveness. Cons: Nothing! Opinion: is a lens with which I replaced the already good 18-55, which I had bought in kit with the XT2. Tried with the new body XT3, the 16-55 has amazed me for the quality of the images and punctuality of the answer, but I could not tell if part of the performance increase is attributable to the new body. In any case, we are talking about a really excellent goal, whose yield in every light condition is unattainable by lenses of many other brands. Given the dimensions, due to the constructive care, the tropicalization and the wide opening, it is suggested the use of a battery grip on Fuji's professional machine bodies, which will be so much more balanced. Finally, since "The eye also wants its part", I would define this objective as a very valuable object also from the aesthetic point of view. Finally, I have to say that I have found no defect in the lens hood graft, reported by some colleague who had reviewed it before me, so I do not know if that problem was then corrected. It is the fact that the hood appears solid, well constructed and applicable without uncertainties. Rated 10 and Praise!!! |
 | sent on October 22, 2018 Pros: Construction, Tropicalization Cons: Weight, lens hood difficult in the interlocking, lack of lock for the focal excursion. When brought to the neck tends to open Opinion: First Fuji Lens purchased. I find it excellent construction and gives great shots. I find no shortage compared to the Canon L lenses I owned before. Clearly the stabilizer would have been a nice feauture in addition. The lens hood as written by many is of low quality. I tested it during a MTB race and I must say that a full focal also gives a blurry not bad! |
 | sent on April 10, 2018 Pros: Professional optical, sealing is excellent as well as the construction Cons: Hood hard in joint Opinion: I've added against weight and the lack of stabilization because they are things you know well before buying. It's like having a laborghimi but then say that consumes too much. I think an excellent optics, professional in everyway. Excellent construction as well as the sealing, excellent sharpness that becomes almost perfect from f4 up, but if we're going to work with those baffles wemight as well using the 18-55 kit. I did not notice vignetting, Hello and good light |
 | sent on March 03, 2018 Pros: constructive quality, versatility, detail, image quality, resolution, wr, focal range, flare resistance Cons: lack of stabilizer, weight and size (but maybe it's hard to do better for such a lens) Opinion: I state that I had the 18-55 of which I have always spoken well because for what it costs, 80% of photographers will struggle to notice the differences between the two. But this 16-55 has a higher resolution (which is better with the sensor of the X-T2), at the edges is much better and has a constant image quality over the frame with a fixed 2.8 aperture. The 18-55 has its size and weight, the stabilizer and the price (now is used in 250 € or less - DEAL for this price) .rnrnIf the price difference is justified? I'm not so convinced, at least for amateur use. The discourse changes if the maximum is required and done for work. In that case 16-55 without any doubt. I've never tried a 24-70 Canon / Nikon (only Tamron) and I can not compare, but I can tell you that this 16-55 I use it in 70% of my shots (portraits, landscapes, etc.) without ever detaching it. You can really do everything with a very high quality. I also thought of selling itor to take the 18-55 and finance a fixed as 16 and 56, but in the end I always think that the versatility of this lens combined with its quality would make me regret a possible change. Reason why now remains in my kit together with 50-140 and 10-24 (only of this I'm not satisfied with the yield at the edges) .rnrnInoltre the 16mm still do a lot but very comfortable.rnrnHai a budget to finance a few things? 18-55. You are an advanced amateur photographer or a professional who does not care to have the maximum: 16-55. But both remain fabulous optics. |
| sent on December 23, 2017 Pros: Construction, colors, sharpness ..... in short, EVERYTHING Cons: Perhaps the weight Opinion: Spectacular lens, I gave away the 18/55 for this .. and I do not regret! At the end weight and size are normal on a lens so !! rnL 'f2.8 constant on all focal lengths is a resounding advantage in some situations.rnMaterial and construction at the top, soft and precise ring nut rnColori and sharpness spectacular. So on the XT2, straconsigliata |
 | sent on July 15, 2017 Pros: Built very well, fast af even with low light, silent, excellent reflex resistance, very reactive Cons: heavy Opinion: I use this optic on x pro2 and I'm quite satisfied, despite the weight I like to handle but I have the extra grip. For me the hood is standard. It is true that it does not stabilize, but in return it is very responsive and ready to shoot .... in fact I had taken it more for "easel" landscaping and I find it prefer to capture the freehand moment |
 | sent on September 23, 2016 Pros: impeccable quality and solid construction. Cons: Lack of stabilization. F2.8 does not solve the problem, very well, solve the 18/55. Opinion: Great. Worth 9 and not 10 because of lack of stabilization and because of a lens hood that the worst incompetent would never do. Looking at my friends who optics 18/55, I realize that it was from me snobbata.Se went back because it would purchase is lighter, less bulky, of similar quality (photographing on the field and not on tests or optical targets ). I used to buy it and support him in my f 2.8 |
 | sent on December 04, 2015 Pros: solidity, clarity, build quality, utilization Cons: all of which are essential flaws: weight, distortion at 16mm. The hood obscene: D Opinion: A lens that is the must of Fujifilm, a lens that attaches to the room and did not come off. Landscape, portrait and street. Everything can be done very well with this objective that has a fixed aperture 2.8 that can be useful in many occasioni.rnLe blades produce a beautiful star already f20. rnInutile that we complain of weight, can not do better for a purpose so good, if you look for more lightness is 18-55 from the kit that is cmq excellent. rn |
 | sent on November 05, 2015 Pros: Autofocus, sharpness, build quality, yield images Cons: weight, when related to the bodies mirrorless (but you know from the outset); lack of stabilization. Opinion: My second lens, which alternate to 23 mm when I feel I need or want a little more flessibilità.rnPer be a zoom, I think the image quality almost equal to my 23 mm and then at very high levels. The weight is there, certainly, but you already know in advance and it is still far below the same focal length of Nikon and Canon, in addition with the battery grip is very well bilanciato.rnPeccato for the lack of stability, we have seen that in Fuji stabilized also 10-24rnVoto 9.5 |
 | sent on April 20, 2015 Pros: weather sealed, clear, quality in general Cons: Weight, size, lens hood ridiculous Opinion: Purchased together with the x-t1, this is really a lens with great performance, crystal clear both the center and the edges, handyman really well built! Tropical conditions, coupled to the x-t1 is truly a sight! Great image quality in general, not hiding at all its nature as a career goal. E 'but too big and too heavy for the x-t1, while the body of the machine x-t1 is very discreet, the 16-55 is really rather striking. On a negative note goes to the hood which is really ridiculous and plasticky compared to the lens, by the way my specimen is also difficult to disassemble and reassemble, every time I try to attach or detach lose 15 to 25 seconds because I can not understand screwing her, we'll be able? I hope both of you because it would be perfect. Fujifilm has produced another gem of slow, highly recommended to all as a lens to be true handyman EXCELLENT quality, but to carry in a holster by reflex as the various cases in leather compact non are still adapted to the dimensions of this lens. |
