This lens has been on my Fuji X-T3 more than any other since I purchased it. Its 24-120mm equivalent range on a full-frame camera is very practical and is very similar to the zoom range of other favorites I've used on my Minolta SLR and, now, on my Canon DSLR. Its images are as sharp as what I have come to expect from Fuji lenses, and its f4 aperture is plenty fast enough for the type of photography I do, which lately is mainly landscape and night photos. In summary, I am very pleased with this XF 16-80mm and look forward to using it much more in the months ahead.

According to my experience with this lens so far the images are soft compare to other Fuji Lenses. I updated the firmware and there was an improvement concerning the auto focus. I considered the performance no to be upto fuji expectations. I do not recommend this lens for a person with a perfection in mind.

It has better and more useful focal length than the Fuji cheaper 18-55mm f/2.8-4.0 kit lens, but not as sharp at all key focal points, especially at the long end and towards the edge of the image.

This is an extremely good lens in this category. At f/4 it may be a bit slow for low light photography, but sensor shift image stabilization goes a long way into making up for this issue. One nice thing is the focus ring being near the end of the lens. This is the right place for it because it is quite easy to reach. Overall the lens has a superb feel, all controls are smooth and solid. The lens is beautifully sharp through it's range, especially when stopped down a bit. It is a really nice compact size especially when it offers the immensely useful 24-120mm focal length equivalence. The lens has an actual f-stop ring. It makes my X-T2 such that the main controls, shutter speed, ISO, and f-stop totally manual, if desired.

I got this lens with the Fuji x-S10 camera as a kit. This lens was recommended by the Angry Photographer and his recommendations on lenses have been spot on. This is one of the more useful lenses that Fuji makes. It has sufficient wide angle and telephoto capabilities to make it one of the most useful lens that you can have. I own almost all the Fuji lenses both prime and telephoto and this lens is on my camera more often than almost all the others. It is just that useful and the image quality is excellent. It also makes for a great video lens. I highly recommend this lens.

I encourage an Fuji X user to consider this lens. I rented all the medium range zoom lenses and for me the 16-80 with its reach and image quality ( stabilization too ) make it a great selection. My lens from map camera is and performs perfectly.

One of the best AIO Fujifilm lens there is for the value. Equivalent to 24-120mm for full frame, very versatile, extremely sharp, good color and has built-in stabilizer. Love it.

This is a very versatile lens. A lens you can leave on. The range this lens has will cover most day to day situations. Excellent for video. It will provide image stabilization for older Fujis. Can't go wrong

First 50 or so photos look great. Sharp and good color and contrast. Focus is fast on my X Pro2 and XT3. I only shoot stills so can't comment on video.

Great looking, great quality all around lens. Fairly light weight and small for what it is. I can see it being on my XH-1 most of the time. I do highly recommend this lens.
