Your first decision is whether to go with zoom or primes. After a year with an 18-55 and 55-200 combo I traded them for a 16-80. It beats the 18-55 in a number of ways but the edges never look extremely sharp. If you need the sharpness from edge to edge, the 16-55 in your bag will supplant all of the primes in that range nicely. I’m one who doesn’t want to juggle primes in the cold and wind, often in dusty, wet or sandy places. The 16-55 may compete with your former Canon zoom for IQ. The 18-55 and 16-80 probably won’t.

Yeah that's why I recommended primes

The 16-55 is only like FF F4 and also the OP wrote

All these amazing things stay in my camera bag more than I want to admit because they are heavy, bulky, and sometimes too futzy to use.

In other words, the brick and why i is thus called.

for banging IQ and smaller gear it has to be the primes

As an aside a friend has the new Sigma 18-55 f2.8 for Sony.  Same size and lighter than my 18-55 f2.8-4 OIS, blinding fast AF and something crazy like 5cm close focus distance.

Please Sigma, do it for Fuji, come on!

£400 he got it for!
