Don't do it, that super wide opening on the 16 - 55 is providing fantastic image quality and I just don't think that 16 - 80 can match it optically.

16-55mm is amazing.. just a brick in the bag. I’m seriously considering pairing the 18 1.4 with my 33 1.4 and X100V .. then the question will be do I need the heavy zoom.. as I am a slight crop away from it with the primes.. sans 16mm of course. I mainly use primes indoors so it’s a lot of $ and weight for an outdoor walk around lens.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't class it a walk around lens that's for sure. The only reason I have one is I need a zoom for my freelance press work as you just never know where you'll find yourself plus I needed the f2.8 for low light scenarios - only for that last point I'd be happily operating with the 16-80.

For "planned" photoshoots or for my own personal usage I find I will always gravitate towards my 23 and 56 f1.4 primes - these do 90% of my commercial/private work.

Honesty, I have never actually seen one in person, I have seen the results though and it is pretty impressive what it delivers.  I hear it is similar in size and weight to the 50 f/1, so I guess I'll get to see what that weight is all about later today.
