Pros: - WR, - 24-120mm range, - aperture ring.

Cons: - never sharp at 16mm (!!!), - heavy, - big, - bloody EXPENSIVE.

Opinion: Tested the lens in a 'try and buy' from a local photo shop. I did not buy it. It was IMPOSSIBLE to get a sharp corner to corner image at 16mm at any aperture. !!! All shots at 16mm had soft corners. ALL. I opened the RAW files and had a look and the answer is obvious - the lens takes barrel shaped images at 16mm - the distortion is so huge that I could not believe it and started reading online for confirmation. The camera corrects this huge barrel distortion but the result is soft and useless corners! I have a 18-55 lens that has horrible OIS and has no WR and so I hoped to get this one to get weather resistance (I often shoot at the sea and at times I do get completely wet with the camera). However, the 18-55 is sharp at 18mm when closed to about f5.6 or f8. In fact I am almost sure 18-55 beats 16-80 at most focal points. And it costs only about EUR 200 (s/h). Another problem is the size and weight - on a XT-2 body this lens feels as heavy as a dslr camera ... And it makes the camera front-heavy. So I returned the lens to the dealer. I can see that somebody else here returned their copy to Amazon too! I will not mention the price (here, in Spain, EUR 900 !). C'mon Fuji - you give us another average lens at ridiculous price! I am considering going back to another brand now that both Nikon and Canon started making mirrorless bodies. Edit 2020 February: Now I have had another, different, sample of this lens for a test. It was, very unfortunately, as bad as the first lens. Mediocre corners, huge distortion at 16mm and pretty useless sharpness at 80mm and full open ;-((((( Price 890 EUR in Spain. Ha ha ha. Fuji is joking maybe. This lens is permanently OFF my shopping list. I am buying a 16-50 2.8 lens now which is stellar in comparison and costs about the same!

Pros: Versatility, good sharpness, nice bokeh, aperture ring, exceptional stabilization, in the center and at all focal lengths it holds up well the XH2 sensor.

Cons: Very weak edges. at all apertures especially at 16mm.

Opinion: Recently taken for the second time, I didn't like the first one very much, but it seems that over the years it is like good wine, in fact I find this specimen much better. Certainly sharper in the center, even if the edges remain rather sparse. For a non-red badge zoom the construction seems excellent to me, heavy enough to make you perceive that it is not too plastic, I use it on XH2 and I am pleasantly surprised by the general quality. Even the bokeh and the close-range rendering I find them very good. The possibility of going down with the shutter speeds up to almost half a second handheld. Obviously it does not have the excellent yield of the 16-55 2.8, but it costs and weighs much less, and those extra mm are very convenient, also because of the great crop possibility of the 40mpx sensor. Over the years I have had, in addition to the 16-55 2.8, both the 18-55 and the 18-135 and I find this specimen superior in everything to these two. Modern lens, not without flaws, but perfectly usable and 360 degrees. Unfortunately and a little reluctantly I made it for a nice occasion of the new 16-55 2.8 MKII.

Pros: Sharp, relatively small for a 24-120 equivalent, build quality, tropicalized, stabilized, close focus

Cons: Position A very soft that makes you swear in ancient Aramaic, filter 72, heavy

Opinion: I was very dubious about taking it with the XT5 because I read very badly online about its resolution on 40Mpx. Well, maybe we have different yardsticks but it seems very clear to me. For the rest it seems well built and therefore the weight is felt a little after a few hours in the hand. The only real big flaw I found is the "A" position on the aperture ring: it's as soft as any other click, so just take the camera in your hand and without realizing it you're at f22 and a billion ISO. I wonder what the engineers were thinking when they designed it. I've had it for a week and it has already happened to me 3 times.

Pros: Versatility, construction and size, sharpness, tropicalization, stabilization, focal range, weight, possibility of close up.

Cons: Sharpness, lens hood, aperture ring not very smooth.

Opinion: I have been using it for more than a year now and I can be satisfied with the type of photography for which it was designed and built. I'll start immediately with what are the weak points in my opinion and I can say that this lens is certainly not a blade for sharpness even if at intermediate focal lengths and at apertures from f/5.6 to f/11 it is really good both in the central part of the frame and at the edges, if we go to the lower and upper extremes it definitely loses especially at the edges while remaining good in the central part. Of course, if you do landscape and use it at 16mm it could be a problem but it still makes you take home worthy photos but if you want the best in the landscape you definitely don't go to buy this kind of lens, ditto at 80m, but the "serious" problems regarding my use end here. On the other hand, to improve would be the fluidity of the shots of the aperture ring (maybe it is a problem only of my specimen) on which I have to apply a strong force to make it rotate and unlike other Fuji lenses in my possession there are no well-defined clicks; Nothing important though, the bezel does its job without any problems. The last note that can be improved is the lens hood, plasticone (in the style of XF 23mm f1.4 old series) of generous dimensions that does its job but has nothing to do with the build quality of Fuji lenses. In its favor, this lens, on the other hand, certainly has a great versatility that for a general use, for example during a holiday where you take photographs without great pretensions (but also something more and also based on the photographic genre), does its job very well allowing you to go from a wide angle to a good pushed tele, all with a lens that you can mount in the car and never take off again and above all with dimensions and weights Reduced. It's also a tropicalized lens that makes you feel comfortable with rain or dust, I've used it in very different situations, even at the sea on the beach, and there is not a grain inside. The best note of all, however, in my opinion is the really excellent stabilization, I use it on XT-2 (so unstabilized body) and I must say that you can take home handheld shots even up to 1/30 - 1/40 of a second without major problems. I also emphasize that the system that automatically disengages the stabilization when the camera is put on a tripod works perfectly, as I have done various tests to verify the thing and the photos I have taken have no micro motion blur due to the stabilizer in operation. It is therefore possible to use it in all situations, without forgetting close-up photos, thanks to a focusing distance of only 35cm with a magnification factor of 0.25x, making us get closer to macro photography thanks to the close-ups that can be made. Now, it's certainly not a professional lens, but if this 16-80 is used in good condition at a price between 400 and 500 euros (new it doesn't make sense to buy it because with a few euros more you can buy the used 16-55 f/2.8), in my opinion it is a valid alternative (moreover stabilized and with 25mm more focal length) to the older brother and if used in the right conditions and in the right way Giusto makes you take home shots that can give satisfaction. Of course, you don't have to be obsessed with perfect sharpness at all costs, but at this price and with this focal range there are not many alternatives (maybe the Tamron 17-70 f/2.8 but with other weights and dimensions or the 18-55 f/2.8-4 but with less focal range?). Considering all these factors and especially for its versatility, it is for me a lens to grade 8.5/9.

Pros: Versatile, sharp, small size and weight, stabilized, tropicalized.

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: A lens that surprised me with its versatility, it beautifully covers an ideal range to do almost anything. Combined with the XT4 it is well balanced, sharp even in the corners, it almost does not vignette anything, the weight and the dimensions do not make me regret the 18/55 that I gladly put aside. The stabilization is exceptional, the Fuji technicians in this case have done a great job. There is no button to remove the stabilization because it is not needed, an internal sensor recognizes if the camera is on the stand. I don't miss the aperture at f/2.8, the stabilization accepts unthinkable shutter speeds, even the bokeh is not bad at all. The rings are numbered and well made and the rotation is optimally frictioned. What more can I say?? Advised!!!
