The XF16-55 doesn't disappoint. Pixel peep away - your results will be as good as your technique and composition. On an X-H2, you'll want a comfortable neck strap as this will be a stout combo, but it's a fantastic setup.

Hi, that is my experienced too (using a XT5, so same sensor). It is a great zoom. Its output is similar to my f2 Crons. I suspect, but have no experience, that the f1.4 primes will be a tad sharper across the frame and better for isolating subjects, but for sharpness one would really have to look very closely to see a difference. For me, my 16-55 is my go-to lens for most subjects due to its convenience, high IQ, f2.8, WR and tactile feel.

Hope that helps.
