Re: Comparing the XF 18-55 and XC 16-50 (v2)

I never really liked the images I got from 16-50. It’s a good zoom range but the results were just ok, never great and the build quality was also not great. The 15-45 is better in my opinion. It’s even smaller, even lighter, mounts a little tighter, goes wider.

I haven’t owned the 18-55. Always sort of wanted one but felt that even used the price was a little too high. I would rather spend that money on a Sigma 18-50, especially if you have a body with IBIS.
