FUJIFILM XF 16-80mm f/4 R OIS WR Reviews

The minivan of lenses

By Paul
Rated 5 out of 5

I've had this lens for 5 years for now. It is amazing how much wider 16mm is versus 18mm (my previous lens). The stabilization is exceptional (when I used it on my X T3). Portraits at 50mm-70mm at F4 have a decent amount of bokeh. The close minimum focus distance create tremendous bokeh for plants (I have to stop down to F8 oftentimes). Terrific for video. I wish the focus ring were stiffer, but otherwise this lens is exactly what you want from an F4--a little bit of everything. I usually try not to go past 70mm for photos. The quality is better if you crop a bit than if you zoom to 80mm.

Not your average kit lens -- in a GOOD way!

I own several Fuji lenses, from the diminutive 15-45 zoom up to the more substantial 55-200 zoom, plus a variety of primes. I also own one of their 18-55 zooms and, frankly, I believe I got a dud. Yes, I bought it new, but from day one the left edge is always out of focus compared to the rest of the frame. I understand from various user reports that problems with the 18-55 is not unusual. So rather than get another 18-55, I decided to grab a used 16-80, F4. Long story short, it's been quite wonderful, a perfect match to my various Fuji bodies -- X-T20, X-H2 and X-T1. I have yet to find any scenario, any setting which yield anything less than exceptional clarity, color balance and stability. 20-20 hindsight: wish I'd bought this amazing lens first!
