The XC 16-50 and its larger sibling the XC 50 - 230 are both excellent lenses. There are many threads which attest to this. They are not everything for everybody but they are an outstanding value with excellent IQ. Of my five or six Fuji lenses, these two I use the most often as they are light with simple operation such as thumb wheel aperture adjustment as I'm primarily an aperture preferred shooter. Further development of the XC line however isn't something Fuji ever pursued and both these lenses I believe are now discontinued.
