Re: Buy 16-55mm f/2.8 or primes lenses with X-H1?

I got the 18-55 as a kit with my H1.  It was a good lens but the 16-55 is so much better.  Yes, a bit heavier but that's the price you pay for constant 2.8 throughout the zoom.  It is a bit sharper if you really look.

The H1 is body stabilized so you don't need the OIS.  The 16-55 does not have it.  If you plan to get say a T3, which I own as well, then you may want to take that into consideration.

For the price, the H1, grip and 16-55 combo is a great deal!  I paid $1,000 more for that setup a year and half ago.
