Best kit lens the OP has bought

The XC 16-50 is better for sharpness, lenstip can confirm that, higher scores the edges stay sharp enough at f5.6 and f6.4

The 18-55 is better for low light thanks to its additional f stop.

So if you want a superb landscape + street kit lens get the 16-50, for low light and metal get the 18-55., but both are more than enough to start with Fuji even if you come from nikon and canon amateur dslr level, once you feel you need more bokeh, more f stops and more sharpness then get primes

This is true. Perhaps the title of the thread should really be "Best kit lens I (the OP) have bought"

It is misleading to make the original declaration if you haven't compared to the alternative.
