Your original post and images are helpful. I’ve always wondered about the comparative image quality of these two lenses. I traded my XF 18-55 over a year ago for the XF 16--80, and sometimes find it heavier and bulkier than I like, for longer walks. The 15-45 now seems a nice low-cost, lightweight alternative for those days.

I wonder how the 15-45 compares to the 18-55. Seems like a much better travel lens as it covers wide angle a lot better, plus is half the size.

I have the XC 15-45 on my X-E4 and find it excellent as an all-around EDC combo for my needs. I will be getting a new XF 18-55 tomorrow, so I'll see how they compare.

Yeah, half the size, very light, and a lot less $$$.
