I purchased the X-T2 and several prime lenses that have been awesome. I decided that there are times when a telephoto is very convenient. The 16-55 mm fits that need. It is sharp, focuses fast, and has the great build quality that is done in true Fuji style.

The only thing I wish this lens had is OIS. That being said, it's already pretty heavy if you're using the x-t2 like I am, so it really doesn't need extra weight. I can't wait to get an x-h1, because as Tony Northrup suggests, and I agree, this lens is the perfect mate for the x-h1 because of the...

I read so many reviews, saw some Youtube video's and more that spoke disparaging of this lens. They must have gotten bad copies, because I did initially as well. The 2nd copy was unreal sharp wide open and surgically so stopped down no further than f5.6.

This lens seems to be something of a 'marmite' lens amongst the Fuji community online, with detractors mocking it as too big and heavy (hence why some on DPReview call it 'the brick'), and fans calling it 'a bag of primes'.

This is the first of Fuji's 'red badge' zoom lenses I've tried and it's already proved itself a cut above the (very good) standard XF lenses in the range. It is heavy and on the large side compared to the slower [smaller aperture] zooms, but the resulting photographs are excellent - pin-sharp and...

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR ($1,199.95) is the first pro-level standard zoom lens for the the company's X series of interchangeable lens cameras . The lens maintains a maximum f/2.8 aperture throughout its zoom range, is sealed to protect against dust and moisture, and is absurdly...

Excellent sharpness throughout zoom range; Constant f/2.8 aperture; No distortion; Weather-sealed design; Speedy focus motor

No optical stabilization; Some color fringing at 16mm

With pretty much every mirrorless camera maker now offering at least one high-end camera body, the rush is on to produce high-end lenses to match. While some systems already have a bevy of exceptional prime lenses at their disposal, fast zooms have been a little harder to come by.

One of the most popular lenses among DSLR photographers is the 24-70mm f/2.8. It's a lens praised for its versatility due to its fast aperture and useful focal range, and these attributes make it a decent tool for everything from portraits to landscapes.
