Fuji My inspiration of nature with the 16-80 f/4

[merlin]

Very much liking this lens. The IQ is as good as the 18-35, and the extra reach at both ends, especially long, is most welcome.

You are showing it off very well. It is a tremendous lens, a bit of a sleeper, not as fast nor as light as its cheaper and more expensive siblings it is nonetheless greater in its performance than the sum of its parts. It is rapidly turning into my go-to days out and travel lens - and I speak as a prime fan...

How much bigger is it than the 18-55?

 

[Lightmancer]

Relatively speaking, not much. It is appreciably heavier, however, which makes it more suited to an X-Pro or X-T than an X-E... I'm going on a short trip in a bit and will take it as my primary lens, attached to my X-Pro3. I'll also pack the X100F which should make for a versatile and practical "set".
