Moving from Canon to X-t3--lens suggestions for Fuji

You have not used Canon IS-lenses (?) And no IBIS experience ?

Honestly, no.  I had a Tamron lens originally before upgrading to the 24-70 and neither one had IS/VC (as Tamron calls it).  The Mark iii has no IBIS.

I have used Canon camera gear since - perhaps it was 2007. First Fuji also a long time ago. Some months ago I bought a R6 also (did sell some Canon lenses). EF L 24-70 could work with it quite well (with adapter) - just to remind you that you can stay in the Canon camp...

I toyed with a mirrorless Canon, since I've used nothing but Canon since I started taking pictures over 30 years ago.  That said, once I put that X-T3 in my hands during my week rental, I knew it was time for a change.  Having all the adjustments right there on the outside of the camera brought me back to the old film days.  It was so much more intuitive to me.

Anyway 18-55 is an OIS lens and it will work perfectly with X-T3 (no IBIS). XT4 has also IBIS and a lens like 16-50f2,8 is quite fine with it.

You can live happily without OIS lenses or IBIS , but they both really help in low light, with videos and if you want to use a longer shutter speed /lower ISO (or a long lens)

18-55 was my first Fujifilm lens and I can not complain - portable and IQ is quite good. Most used lens in my Fuji-bag

I'm really leaning towards the 18-55 because of the OIS, and that it is lighter than the 16-55.  I can easily add a prime lens or two with an f/2.8 or lower to compensate for the f/4 on the 16-55.
