Finally Purchased "The Brick"
16

After lots of deliberation since getting my X-T3 almost a year ago, I finally took the plunge on the Fujifilm XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR after seeing it on sale and combining that with Fuiji's latest cash back offer.

I did a bit of shooting last night, and I have to say I'm already super impressed - especially with some of the results I was able to get with some challenging lighting conditions.

Can't wait to shoot some more with this beauty of a lens.

Nice shots.  I may get one someday now that I have the X-H1. I think it would fit real nice.

It's a great lens and as another poster mentioned, having an XH - 1 to go with it would be even better since the brick doesn't  have IS.

I'm using the poor man's equivalent of the brick which is the XC16-50.   As has been often noted, the XC is a marvelous lightweight lens and has IS but yes if I ever pick up an XH1  or the next XH iteration, I'd certainly like to get a brick.

I have several other red badge lenses and the brick is on my list.

Very nice work. I also love the lens, but I wouldn't give all the credit to the glass here. Your skill and eye might have something to do with it.

Very nice. Are these processed in post, or are they SOOC Jpegs?
