Hi.

Please kindly consider 18-55 or 16-55.

I own both lenses. I like 18-55 very much and keep it on my X-T1 all the time.

But, please kindly give 16-55 a closer look.

I have finally gotten 16-55 on the most recent Fuji sale. Once I took sample shots with it, I have understood why so many people here had called it a "bag of primes." I really got four prime lenses in one. I have paired it with X-T2, and this is my go to kit now.

Please kindly check out the link below – for comparison between 16-55 and various primes, with full-size JPGs included. Comparing those sample images made me buy the 16-55. My own images taken with 16-55 have further confirmed the superb optical qualities of the lens.

Also, just wanted to mention this, one can "test" various Fujinon lenses here:

Thank you and wishing you safe and happy travels!
