I also got the tamron recentlty and will be testing it out over the next few weeks on an x pro 3. I dont have the 16-55 to compare to anymore but it is slightly lighter and less bulky because of the 67mm filter thread. It is however longer. Initial impressions are positive but I may wait for the sigma 18-50 instead given my other existing lenses.

The VC is decent and AF fairly accurate. Found the lens missed AF a bit in low light though.

Still wish the focus ring could be configured as an aperture ring, even if unmarked.

Kind of miss the metal construction of fuji lenses as they pair with fuji bodies.

Havent processed any images yet but initial samples on the LCD look solid.
