I own 16-50 and 18-55.

For 15-45 I always read good things about its IQ, but is with powered zoom - I do not like this.

You can zoom as with the 16-50; you simply use the focus ring. You don't have to use power zoom.

It's still a power zoom when you use the focus ring. You just get finer control over the zoom movement. This ability to zoom using the focus ring was added in a firmware update, but not all older Fuji bodies got it. I can't recall which cameras have this ability and which don't. I only know that it works on my XE3. It's useful, but not the same as the mechanical zoom on the 16-50.
