A big part of why something feels bulky and heavy is how it is carried.

I use a cheap harness that goes around my back sort of like a backpack. When the camera is not in use, it's not in my hands feeling heavy. I can wear this all day, no problem. So that's the case when it's NOT in use.

When it IS in use, it's on my X-H1. With the bigger hand-grip. It feels much better on the X-H1 than it does on my X-T2. So again, it matters how it's carried.

I don't mind if it somehow signals that I'm a photographer. There are very few situations where that is some sort of debilitating factor. Like VERY few.

Maybe for candid street? But if that's the case my X-T10 and 18-55 is pretty noticeable too.

Hell, EVERY Fuji is noticeable because--newsflash--the X100 series is not that small either!

I'm not sure if the OP gave it a good chance but (at least for me) the 16-55 needs some time to grow on you. Now, it's my number 1 go-to lens. I can take it into nearly any shooting situation and know that it will give me very nice results.

That's it! I think that has been my experience exactly...
