🐭 Fuji 16 55 F2 8 Review
The 16-55mm f/2.8 got off to a solid start in testing, producing its strongest results at 16mm. At f/2.8 it's already razor-sharp in the center, resolving over 2,100 lines in the middle. That drops a bit to around 1,850 lines in the midpoint regions, but it holds strong at 1,450 lines in the corner.
Fujifilm's XF 16-55mm F2.8 is a weather-sealed zoom covering a 24-83mm equivalent range. With a fast F2.8 constant aperture, manual aperture control and a new Nano-GI coating to reduce flare, it's a high-end lens to be sure. Take a look at how it performs in the real world. See gallery

The Fuji 16-55 f2.8 looks noticeably better at the long end - especially wide open for portraits which is the only real weakness of the Oly 12-40 in my experience. From what I've read the Fuji also has some quality control issues that make it hard to get a proper picture of what the performance of an "average" copy is like though - sample

I think the underlying problem here is that Fuji have a number of very good lenses at prices where other manufactures would have more mediocre products. The 18-55 is a good example. Dull boring focal length - f2.8 compared with F1.4 or F2 primes - but actually pretty decent all things considered.
