Combined with the X-H1 this lens is spectacular. The IBIS and size of the X-H1 makes this combo amazing. The images from the X-H1/16-55 2.8 is spectacular with fantastic color fidelity. The balance is perfect and IBIS is remarkably effective. I think that’s probably easier to stabilize a smaller sensor with lesser resolution. As far as manual focus - did you know that you can choose between liner response and non linear response. With this setup you can get a near perfect experience. The linear option makes it work just like a fully manual lens. I don’t think this option is available on any other mirrorless. Have you tried this in your X-T3?

I have tried changing between linear and non-linear, but neither option is what I would define "near perfect". It's a long way from a Zeiss lens.

Fujifilm has said "To maximize it's optical performance we decided to remove OIS.

Corner confusion tends to start at 12mm with X-T4. Even the Samyang 12mm F2 doesn't warp much as long as you tell the camera what the focal length is in the menu, as that lens is manual without electronic coupling.

Agree. As a Fuji Shooter I have shot the 18/55 & 16/80. The 16/55 is a step up in overall image quality frame to frame. Actually most of the Fuji XF glass is excellent.

It would have been an auto ISO adjustment. The white froth of the water would change the EV value compared to the broader scene.

At 4:04 when you zoom in there is noticable steps in exposure. This also happens with the kit lens 18-55 with the aperture set to f4. The question is what are your settings there? I mean I want to avoid these exposure steps - are you using auto ISO? If it doesnt have the steps with all manual settings it would be great..

I was not using auto iso. ISO was fixed, and the aperture in this lens doesn't change, so the only way to avoid that further would be to shoot completely in manual so the camera doesn't adjust anything.

Great review. I appreciate the honesty about the shortcomings of the 16-55mm (especially mentioning corner sharpness). I however, recently purchased a Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 DC DN. The Sigma is very nice. It is sharp and light but I have found myself missing that 16mm on the wide end. I am currently considering the Fuji 16-55 but Sigma has the 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN new for $599.00 with good reviews... For about 1/2 the price of the 16-55mm I now find myself edging towards the 2 Sigmas. My "holy trinity" of Fuji zooms may look like: Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN FUJIFILM XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR My use case scenario is for street/landscape and some portraiture. I shoot with an X-T3 and X-H1 as a backup / everyday system (I am primarily a Nikon FX "Z" shooter and I use that system professionally). I also have the X-Mount 30mm and 56mm f/1.4 Sigmas and a 12mm AF f/2.0 Samyang. (I won't need the Samyang anymore if I acquire the Sigma 10-18mm.) IMHO, the weight savings alone with the 2 Sigmas seems to be worth it not to mention their acuity and price-point over Fuji's offerings. I suspect that Fuji may be a little overdue for a 2nd version in their zoom lineup...

You're right about Fuji's zoom lineup. They've been doing it with some of their primes, so I suspect updated zooms are coming.

Great, super thorough and even-handed review as always. Always thrilled to see you get a hold of a lens I own or want to own. All winter long I've been climbing mountains in the Adirondacks with this lens so those snow-draped pine shots in your gallery are familiar. I've been happy with the results. As warm weather approaches, I will be more inclined to bring my tripod along for long-exposure shots of water. What tripod did you use with the 16-55? Coming from the A6000 + Sigma 16 + Sony 18-135, I've found there to be more "pop" in the images produced by the 16-55 than my old tandem. I always hear the mythical term "microcontrast" bandied about on the internet. Maybe this is it? Or is it something as mundane as the Velvia film simulation? Or does it have to do with the XT-3 being bereft of an AA filter?

@DustinAbbottTWI

No, I think this lens does have pretty good microcontrast (even better if you use it with a CP-L). As for tripod - when travelling I use a lightweight Oben CT-3535 carbon fiber tripod.

Except for the last goof I actually thought a lot the intermediate movements were tracked better by the Fujifilm. I’ll have to check it again. What’s more annoying to me is the abrupt stepped auto exposure shifts. I wish the would build a focal reducer and some APO manual FF lenses maybe on a proprietary M42 like mount with electrical contacts just to really start eliminating the focal length/DOF issues that come with constantly having one angle of view with a different DOF then a FF lens.

Have you found a 90? I moved to the GFX100 and have one for sale, perfect condition, receipt, including boxes, never left the studio.

Fujinon xf 16-55mm f2.8 r lm wr A lens of remarkable quality in optical and mechanical terms, excellent brightness but a very big flaw: the rubber of the zoom (ring grip) is worn and detached when using the lens in a non-intensive way and for short periods. Considering the cost of the lens, I expected the best in everything, also because it is sold as a "tropicalized lens" that is resistant to bad weather, dust, etc.; for the replacement it must be sent only to the assistance center in Milan at your expense, the cost of the tire change between 100 and 150 euros. An old zoom lens used for over 20 years on an analog SLR the tires are practically undamaged. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT (video available)

That's unfortunate

I was thinking the same, with this really wide angle view you can see the horizon curvature. I don't think is totally a lens problem in this case :)

i agree, especially with the height he shot the photo at. gives an even wider view hence the 'distortions'.

Steve Carell takes good photos.

LOL- I've heard that comparison many times.

I think you just disproved flat earth...not barrel distortion 😂

Costly, great for images, but not so good for videos - summary of this lens.

It works best for video if you use on XT-4, and w.r.t costly compared to Sony 16-55 f2.8 G which cost 1400$ and Tamron 17-70 f2.8 at 800$ I think it is well priced.

too bad that first shot was really crooked ;)

Abbot is also pessimistic guy when it comes to Fujifilm

I think the word you are looking for is “realistic”. I’m never a pessimistic person.

To avoid the confusion of comparison against full frame systems it is a 24-82mm f/4 equivalent (not f/2.8). Aperture is also subject to conversion for depth of field and overall light throughput to the whole sensor.

If you'll watch my review of the 8-16mm F2.8, you'll see me illustrate the fallacy of some of what you are saying.

Yes - which I thoroughly demonstrate there. An F2.8 aperture is physically F2.8 whether the lens is designed for FF or APS-C.

@@DustinAbbottTWI I am NOT arguing the fact that aperture physically is f/2.8. Yet, the conversion is necessary from the point of view of depth of field. I wrote my notes on this, but then found an article on PhotographyLife that covers the exact same points for the conversion. photographylife.com/equivalence-also-includes-aperture-and-iso
