Re: Which kit lens for the X-T20? XC 16-50 or XF 18-55

I had the same dilemma when pre ordering my X-T20 but after reading all the pros and cons mentioned on this forum, plastic versus metal construction, possibly sharper, etc. It seemed most people agreed that optically the XC lens was very good for the price.

I liked the idea of that extra 2mm wide angle coverage and as the price difference here in the U.K. Between the 2 kits was £200 i decided to go with the XC lens and use that cost saving towards a good prime.

I think it was a good decision as my local Fuji dealer WEX had a Fuji promo day yesterday so i went along to look at primes and came away with the XF35mm F2 getting an extra 5% discount on the day, so that cost saving went a long way in financing my first prime.

I hope this helps in your decision making process.
