Pros: Compact and light, solid, tropicalized, very good performance, it does not stretch when zoomed in.

Cons: Continuous diaphragm ring that can be easily touched unintentionally

Opinion: I have owned this zoom for about 4 months, bought used. Its compactness and low weight are immediately evident. The construction is good and gives an idea of solidity. Positive is the fact that it does not lengthen with the zoom and that it is tropicalized. It is not a super bright prime zoom. The f2.8, the maximum aperture, is preserved only at the wide-angle end. At f16.5 it already closes a hair at f2.9. At 18 mm it closes to f3.0, at 24 mm f3.4, at 35 mm we are already at f3.9, at 40 mm f4.3 and at 50 mm we arrive at f4.8. Nothing dramatic, knowing their behavior. For daytime photography or in non-dark conditions it performs well. The performance, in my opinion, is good on the entire excursion, even at bright apertures. Used on the road, it proved to be very versatile and as mentioned comfortable and practical to carry around due to weight and size. If you want for general excursions, he alone could be enough for the range of excursions covered. However, it also has some negative points, for example it happens to me to involuntarily move the ring of diaphragms which is continuous, without wanting or realizing it, because I find it quite smooth. This sometimes led me to disable it and use a dial on the camera body. Perhaps the unintentional operation also depends on its small size, because this problem did not occur to me with larger zooms with a ring of the same type. Mark

Pros: Image quality even at 40MP, lightness and bulk, AF, 2 mm less wide-angle side (16) than the old one, build quality, WR, 58mm filter like many other Fuji lenses (23, 33, etc.)

Cons: Maybe the price if you take it not in kit: but the optics are really good.

Opinion: It is the classic travel zoom or excursion equivalent of a 24-75 on FF: therefore an all-rounder. Lightweight (240 grams), compact (the barrel does not lengthen by changing focal length), well built, water resistant, it has an image quality capable of easily withstanding 40 MP, where the previous 18-55 now suffered a bit. If you don't need the fixed 2.8, this is the right lens for your needs. The AF is fast and accurate; the very detailed image on the 40 sensor also allows for rather generous crops; Decent flare resistance. A lens without any particular weaknesses, as pointed out by "Lenstip" (trusted site) and also the test of Juza himself. The advice is to take it in a kit, or mismatched from a kit, because it costs much less. One final note: the 58 filter is the same as many other Fuji lenses (23 1.4, 33 1.4, etc.): which is a convenience and cost advantage.

Pros: Image quality, lightness, construction, magnification, autofocus, size

Cons: Price, if taken new. The internal zoom could be closed by a front lens (perhaps)

Opinion: It is the perfect travel and trekking lens for those looking for practicality without sacrificing quality. It covers all useful focal lengths from true wide-angle to mid-telephoto, and thanks to the digital crop on the 40MP of the X-T50 it virtually reaches a 24-105 equivalent, maintaining more than decent files. Sharp, compact, well-built and weather resistant, it also allows excellent close-ups without the need for a dedicated macro lens. It's not a forum zoom or pixel peeper, but it's the one that really makes you leave the house with only one lens and zero regrets. The only two "flaws" are a new price that could discourage you, but there are so many used ones separated from kits and then a suggestion: perhaps the internal zoom (very smart in my opinion), could have been covered by a front lens and avoid dust infiltration. WR will also be seeing it like this, but it doesn't really give me maximum confidence. In any case, a (not so much) kit zoom, really well made.

Pros: Overall quality, internal zoom, weight, focal range, compactness, wr

Cons: Soft edges at some apertures and focal lengths but all in all acceptable with some workaround (crop, etc.)

Opinion: Bought on dayone free from a kit at € 499 for jumping from x-t30 II to x-t5 and to be sure to have a lens that could decently solve the 40mpx without spending a fortune. Price/Optimal performance although it is not a "PRO" lens I would not worry about using it in professional contexts, especially if used at intermediate apertures where it does not look bad even against double-cost lenses. It can satisfy even pixelppers if we neglect some edge behaviors at certain apertures but it is an acceptable compromise for the figure and the lens of use. I use it mainly for street together with the Fuji XF 27mm 2.8 II WR and I am satisfied with it.

Pros: Compact. Light. Internal zoom. Tropicalized. Excellent on 40 mp. Focal length 16. Etcetc

Cons: Brightness for low-light photos. Price if not in kit.

Opinion: Bought used great deal replacing the old and famous 18 55 ex kit intrigued by the 16mm and the optimization for the 40mp perfect for the xt5 with which I use it. I was really surprised. It's a really good all-rounder zoom. Stra convenient for compactness and size as well as internal zoom. It is also waterproof. It is not stabilized but the new Fujis are stabilized in the camera body. Exceptional optical performance in my opinion at all focal lengths and in the range f3.5 - f9. Also tried backlight at sea, I found neither flare nor particular aberrations. Instead, I appreciated excellent exposure, excellent colors, excellent sharpness. In short, very beautiful and satisfactory photos. I recommend it, you have fun, especially when you want to travel light, for street, reporting and, in my opinion, also landscape given the wide angle at 16.....
