I have the 16-80 f4. I was on the fence about it for a while because of others raving about the sharpness and that extra stop of the 16-55 2.8. The more and more I used it, the less I felt I needed the 16-55. The focal range of the 16-80 is just so versatile. Its plenty wide on the 16 end and I get perfect extension on the 80. The 6 stops of image stabilization is fantastic plus the fact that the lens can detect when it is mounted on a tripod and turn off its image stab is so handy. Ive found that having the f4 all the way through plus the stabilization more than compensates for the 2.8 i would've had on the 16-55, so i can shoot with lower shutter speed than I initially realized. I say all this to say I glad I did not sell it. Its such a unique lens and at a really great price used or new. Thanks for making the video.
Thanks for the comment and your insight. I agree!
I'd been using the Pentax DSLR system for years matched with Sigma mid to wide zooms and very happy with the quality and "atmosphere" the Pentax/Sigma coupling was able to create. Having said that the weight of the gear was getting me down so I looked around and finally jumped into the mirrorless pond and got a Fuji X-10 married to the F4 16-80mm lens. Last year my partner and I went on an extended Euro tour (Germany, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary), by which time I had upgraded to the Fuji XT-5, still using the 16-80mm. While that lens is not one of the lenses Fuji claims is "compatible" with the higher resolution XT-5, I was very pleased with the result of the more than 2,000 shots I took along the way using only the 16-80mm. If 10% were not up to scratch, that was due to lack of skill on my part and nothing to do with what the 16-80mm lens can actually achieve if you know what you're doing!!! Since than I got the venerable 18-55mm (now made all but obsolete when Fuji recently released its new XF 16-50mm F2.8-4.8, which CAN resolve the XT-5 40.2MP sensor),and the Sigma F2.8 10-18mm lens, a wide angle marvel! All that said I agree with your opinion about the versatility and quality of the Fuji 16-80mm. Like the old 18-55mm, it surpasses all expectations and then some!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the insight, I'm now going to look into the Sigma 10-18......
Most versatile lens that I have ever owned. It is on my XT4 70% of the time.
Thanks for the comment and the confirmation of this little lens!
The 16-80 is a great lens and I do own it but I usually go with the 16-55. Everyone complains about the weight of the 16-55, but coming from Nikon, it is not a big deal.
Thanks for the comment. I am getting the 80mm macro. My next plan is to get the 16-55. Between those two lens I won’t need the 16-80. Thanks again.
I sold mine to het the 16-55mm, and I miss it
Wow. I am looking to get the 80mm macro and when I do have thought maybe the 16-55 would be a good replacement for the 16-80. Thanks for the comment.
If you don't mind some feedback, as a photography channel, your content should really be in 4K. For example, at 8:16 it would be good to see first hand (... despite RUclips compression).
Hey, thanks for the comment. I appreciate the input. I have kicked this issue around for awhile. You're probably right. The file size of the videos and such has been my reasoning as to not do 4K to this point. Thanks again, I will strongly consider this.......
Not that familiar with the 16-80, the 18-55 2.8/4 however, is a legend.
Thanks for the insight. I've definitely considered that lens.......
