I'm sure there are some of you out there. What are your thoughts and experiences with shooting the non-OIS, XF 16-55, on an X body that has no IBIS? Do you find you frequently need to use a tripod or monopod to steady the beast? Are you having to constantly worry about keeping your SS at a high enough speed? I'm considering this to pair up with my XT3 and am not interested in either of the X bodies that offer IBIS.

Thank you in advance for your input.

I shoot a 28-200mm non stabilised lens on 35mm film. On a dull overcast day I'll push hp5 to ISO 800 and get sharp shots all day long at all focal lengths. I really wouldn't worry about shooting a constant F2.8 standard zoom on a non-stabilised modern digital camera. Though l have IBIS on my X-S10 l could just as easily manage without it. These cameras are ISO invariant up to 800 so there's no issue with shutter speed and quality loss in daylight.
