Well, I guess I get to be the first to christen the 16-50 sample archive. Got the X-M1 with 16-50 yesterday. After shooting a bit with it, the 16-50 is pretty decent. It's not exceptional, but it's not bad at all. At the wide end, f/8 is where the best across the frame performance comes...you're not going to equal the 14/2.8 or even the 18-55 across the frame, but it's pretty sharp overall, with just a little softer corners and edges stopped down. Wide open, the edges suffer. I'm finding the long end quite good actually, even wide open.
