[FUJIFILM X-T4] Debated buying this lens for a long time based of mix reviews. Have been very pleased so far with this as a walk around / Travel lens. Still plan to get a faster prime or two in the range, but this lens works well for me and I have no problem with the image quality for my use

[FUJIFILM X-T4] I got this lens and the 70-300mm for my Fujifilm X-S10 as my previous Fujifilm camera was a super-zoom and I wanted to approximate the range of focal lengths. More details in my review of the X-S10 body.

[FUJIFILM X-T4] Coming from the pancake 27 lens, this is a huge change, but it takes great shots and works well for video.

[FUJIFILM X-T4] this all-rounder, is one of the best lenses you can buy. cupeled with the 70-300, you have a light but very high coverage of 16-300 (24-450mm 35mm) that is of high quality all the way. the OIS, is great, it is sharp, light and very pleasant to the aye.

[1/4"-20 Male] I had read lot of negative reviews about this lens especially the soft images at the two extremes of its focal length. In spite of that i still purchased it and found that the negative reviews are wrong. The lens is sharp and with a 200$ price drop it is an excellent purchase. Some focus wobble during video recording is there but as i am using it mainly for still photography it does not bother me.

[FUJIFILM X-T4] After much searching on the web, I finally decided to add this lens to my (small) collection. I tend to live on the short focal length end of things. Before this purchase, I carried only the Fuji 10-24mm. It is great for travel and shooting cathedrals, street scenes, and landscapes. However, as time wore on, I realized that I'd really like something a little longer. This is a good fit for my style. I still carry the 10-24 for getting those interior scenes but the 16-80 is often a better fit for what's happening in the streets and allows me to get more intimate shots with greater reach. Yes, there is some distortion at the edges (as is also the case with the 10-24) but it is modest and I can usually crop it out if it is bothersome (often it is not). Otherwise, it is quite sharp, focuses fast and quietly, and the image stabilization works very well. Great for low light shooting in the street or in a bar. If you are a travel photographer, this is a good choice of a go-to lens.

[FUJIFILM X-T4] Ok, was worried about F4- but this lens is incredible- perfect size, fits the XT4 like a glove and covers most everyday shooting- will be my main travel lens- I'll use XPro3 primes for more detail work or the 90F2

just a great lens!!

[1/4"-20 Male] This is my go-to lens for studio and is the perfect travel lens also. I love the 24-120 focal range for studio work. I own the full frame equivalence of this lens for my Nikon Z bodies as well as for my Sony a7r series bodies. I can achieve almost any look I need without having to constantly change lenses during a session. I was a little skeptical of this lens initially because I had not really heard many people talk about it, as it was considered a kit lens. After shooting with it a bit and getting used to its characteristic, it quickly became one of my most used lenses.

The autofocus is mostly accurate as any missed focus shots could be attributed to user era on my behalf. By adjusting the focusing speeds and tracking in my X-H2, this lens instantly became a contender for my similar Nikon and Sony branded lenses as far as image quality, autofocus and reliability is concerned. The autofocus is fairly quiet and does not pickup in video as long as you use something like a shotgun mic or smaller.

It's compact and lightweight design makes it a perfect match for any fujifilm camera as it balances well on most bodies. Furthermore, it's light weight also makes it great for holding long periods of time without fatiguing your shooting arm and hand, making it an excellent choice for travel and street photography.

This is an excellent lens with many uses and if you are on the fence about getting it, go ahead, I promise you will not be disappointed.

[1/4"-20 Male] This lens is awesomely sharp, with amazing image stabilization, and a flexible zoom range. Fantastic lens on the go. Pair it with a prime for extreme low light and you're set for just about anything.

[0.995 lb] This is easily my favorite Fuji mid-range zoom lens. I was initially hesitant to try it due to some of the reviews. At issue was mainly edge sharpness. While not quite as good as, say, the Fuji 16-55mm f/2.8, it is not significantly so and requires some detailed looking to really see. Center sharpness is, however, easily comparable and excellent throughout the zoom range. At 80mm is where this lens is at its weakest but is still quite usable.


Compared to the Fuji 18-55mm, this lens is an upgrade in most every way. I particularly like that it goes to 16mm (24mm full-frame equivalent) on the wide end compared to 18mm on the 18-55mm. Somehow the 27mm full-frame equivalent on the wide end of the 18-55mm just does not seem quite wide enough. That was my main motivation for going with the 16-80mm.


Build quality of this lens is excellent. The zoom ring is silky smooth and perfectly damped. The aperture ring is also smooth with positive clicks at 1/3 stop increments.


This is definitely an absolutely fabulous lens for just about any type of photography requiring a mid-range zoom. It is a perfect match for my Fuji X-T3 body that I can comfortably carry around all day. For low light, I usually just bring along a fast prime or two as opposed to getting just a single stop advantage with the big and heavy 16-55mm f/2.8.
