Such a quick horn comparison. Fuji 16-80 vs Tamron at the lowest apertures.

I'm on a phone so i can't see much difference. I'd appreciate a short description of the conclusion. I assumed the Tamron will be better at all focals but would like confirmation

Where Tamron is sharper. Massacres Fuji, Fuji has a bit of a fight in the center, but in the corners, Tamron definitely wins.

Would help if you could reveal which is which …
First set is leagues ahead of the second set so I’m assuming that is the Tamron ?

Fuji above, the markings on the files are visible

I'm always cautious about screen shots rather than files. If the Tamron is good then fine but I find it hard to reach that from these images.
If you look at your phone browser setting for "desktop site" then you can see the image in full resolution (click "original size" below image) on your phone.

There is a lot of objectionable colour fringing on the Tamron, isn't there.

Landscapes wide open? Why? What dose this show?

How sharp the lens is wide open. It's a test shot, not artwork.

For me the Fuji seems to have the much better and natural colors, the Tamron too much greenish touch.
for me this „test“ is very biased towards the Tamron and for me it seems much fairer to compare the Tamron with the xf 16-55 since the 16-80 is not the best choice of the existing zooms at all if sharpness is your first priority.
Interesting that the TO did not mention the extremely disturbing ghosting of the Tamron which is well documented by others.
for me personally this „test“ is just irrelevant for deeper evaluation for those who are about to make a decision for a purchase, especially since the „test“ shows just one single scene…
cheers

Exactly, off the cuff tests aren't statistically significant because of small sample size and lack of control.
Every lens test published is invalid by those standards. Except those from LensRentals, who have a sample size of 10, and custom calibrated measurement apparatus.

I do not get these negative comments. Looks like comparing lenses at this forum is dangerous job...
