Thanks for taking the time and effort in making this useful comparison. I personally find 18mm isn't wide enough for my (WA) needs, prefer the 16.

Thank you for finding it useful

Indeed, while the difference might not be _that_ big, it can be rather useful still, 16mm being my personal preference as well.

In the past, when I was traveling with XF 18-55mm, there were a few occasions where I reached for my 1" compact Canon G7 X just because of its 24mm equivalent field of view.
