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.

Thank you! The 16-80 seems like a good idea for a walk-around lens although it's indeed larger and heavier for smaller cameras. Still, considering its vast range it's well sized. I haven't tried the 15-45 though.
