What lens would you own the Fujifilm 16-55 F2.8 or the Fujifilm XF 16-80 F4?
@dwhite9761
@dwhite9761 4 года назад
I think the 16-55 F2.8.... and use my 55-200mm for for the long end . The 16-80 just falls that bit short at the long end ..The Fujifilm XF 16-80 F4 is a "Jack of all trades, master of none"

I bought the 16-55 along with my XT-3 because along with the IQ, with that combo I also got the battery grip with 2 batteries free. If 16-80 was available a year earlier, would have gone with that as I do miss OIS on that lens for a lot of video work, where carrying a gimbal for long hours really tire me. Not resenting my 16-55 purchase though as the extra batteries with grip have been a saver. Saving for 50-140 now.

I brought the 16-55mm F2.8, it's a bit front heavy like you say with my X-T2 but it sort my style love the quality don't really shot any video bar the odd family clip. But I got it for under £600 in mint condition, thinking about get the Viltrox 33mm F1.4 heard lots of good things about it. I need to get the Samyang 12mm F2 at some point.

I own the 16-55 2.8 and the X-T4. Lack of OIS on the lens doesn't matter to me since the camera has it. The 16-55 an amazing travel option because you don't need to bring a bunch of other lenses. It's a great travel lens, but it's not a great walking lens. I really do start feeling the weight of the thing after awhile. It gets tiring to carry and hold after awhile. It's not unbearable but it's not pleasant. I think for me the 16-80 might be my answer for a personal travel lens. It's got the range I want. I think f/4 is still plenty wide enough considering you've got a OIS to help with low light. It's also lighter, by a good amount. It's it optically the same to the 16-55? No not at all imo, but if someone's picking apart corner sharpness then your subject was boring or the viewer is an a--hole.

My opinion exactly. The 16-80 as allrounder and some primes, when bokeh and minimal depth of field matter.
@darylnd
@darylnd 9 месяцев назад
Spot on! As Ansel Adams--he knew a bit about photography, IIRC--wrote, "Photographs are meant to be looked at, not looked into." I've just watched, not for the first time, Otto Preminger's _Anatomy of a Murder._ Even when Lee Remick wasn't on screen, I didn't find myself checking corner sharpness or analyzing Preminger's bokeh. For me, I think the 16-80 wins. The camera's always in my hand, I walk a lot, and I can see how the X-Tx bodies would feel unbalanced with the 16-55. But the 16mm f1.4 is on order, so I'll probably stick with the 18-55 for now. The way I think of variable aperture zooms, I see the 18-55 as an f4 lens that sometimes can go as wide as f2.8. I returned to Fujifilm last year, with a used X-T3 and 18-55. I bought the 16mm 1.4 because I learned to enjoy the 24mm perspective on a Nikon F100 with a 24mm f2.8D Nikkor lens: the first image I ever licensed came out of that combo, shot on Kodak Tri-X 400 pushed to ISO 1200. My family and I drove out to South Lake Tahoe in July, and I kept seeing compositions for the 24mm angle of view. I also can make good use of the 1.4's close focus ability, which, at 6", is half the minimum focus distance of the 24mm Nikkor.

When I went to Iceland for a couple of weeks the 16-55 was glued on my XH1 and the 50-140 on my XT2. Those two were my go to machines. Now I also spent 3 weeks in Costa Rica and I took my 18-55 and my 55-200 ad I knew that trip included lots of jungle trekking and wanted to keep my pack light. I gave up weather sealing for weight and had no regrets.

I switched from the 18-55 to the 16-55 when I moved from X-T2 to X-H1, since I didn't want to buy it before I had a stabilized body. I do mostly landscape-ish kind of photos - but the 16-80 seems really interesting as a walk-around lens. I often feel that I lack some reach when I use the 16-55 on walks in the forest and similar :)

UPDATE (12-2021) The 16-80 is made in the Phillipines, not Japan, and there are quality control issues. In case you get a bad one, make sure the retailer has a good returns policy. If you don't need OIS or the extra reach, go with the made in Japan 16-55. It's worth the extra money.

I shouldn’t make any difference, because they wouldn’t take more or less care on every copy. If you expect your lens is completely checked by a employee, you better switch to Leica or Hassleblad. Some of the most advanced tech will be made in China and not every of this company came from Europe, Japan, Korea or US.

I am rewatching this video after my initial decision to stick with the 18-55. The price tags for both of these lenses were considerable at the release date of the video. Now, two years later, the market situations for both the 16-55 and the 16-80 have changed and both can be acquired second hand at a very good price point. Now that the 16-80 can be acquired in kits with the recent cameras, the second hand markets are flooded with copies of it. Most of the copies are in “like new” conditions available at around 500EUR, while the 16-55 has dropped to between 600-850. This makes this video and the whole debate about which of the two lenses to get very relevant again! I just upgrade my gear to overcome visible limitations with my current gear. In my case it’s the lack of weather sealing on the 18-55. The focal length versatility of the 16-80 allows me to fill the gap between my 10-24 and the 70-300. Great and still very relevant video today!

Good summary review, thanks. Both lenses have their place. Both are great for their design purpose. In December 2019, I went with the 16-55/f2.8 for IQ. Yes, the 16-80 was available, but the 16-55 was in the Black Friday sale and had an additional Fuji cashback, making is far cheaper than the 16-80. Furthermore, I was anticipating the XT4 with IBIS. Yes, the XT4/16-55 will be a tad heavier than a XT3, which I currently use, and a 16-80, but not materially so for my hiking and travelling. Now that the XT4 with IBIS is out, I am looking forward to receiving mine and having a play.

I was captivated with all the possible scenarios you described for each lens. Given all the info, I feel that any well motivated photographer could easily find very practical ways to work with the F 4 lens and enjoy the advantages of better balance, stabilization, weight, and reach!!! Especially when traveling near or far or just in the neighborhood.

Have used both extensively on every XT body including my xT5 and have come to the same conclusion every time. That if I could justify the cost I would keep both but having a £1000+ lens in my bag and using it for about 20% of the time can it be justified? Also the 16-55 is not only very heavy but also is unbalanced on the X-T bodies. As for sharpness I have found despite the 16-80 not being on the 40mp list by Fuji. It performs better with the new sensor whereas I can see no improvement in the 16-55! When comparing identical shots with each lens for most situations I have to check the exif file to see which one is which. Regarding the softness at the extremities then use the lens like the majority of zooms and use it from 17mm to 75mm. Still a fantastic range and with the crop-ability of the 40mp sensor it can even look fantastic when heavily cropped then you have a 17mm to 150mm or more. The comments regarding corner sharpness annoy me as if someone else examines your enlarged print and mentions this then your composition is not very good. So learn to be a better photographer and blow them a way with the story that is in your picture. Just a thought😃

XT4 solves that lack of OIS on the 16-55 😉 - But yeah, I considered both options for the XT4. Trust me it was tough deciding. Both are fantastic lenses. However, after using the faster 1.4 glass, the 18-55 and the 16-80, just don't have that kind of color rendition of the primes. They are very different, the 16-55 does have that "prime" look. I'm not 100 percent sure why it is, maybe something to do with the coatings? But regardless, they call the 16-55 a bag of primes for a reason. I was frustrated switching between the 16, 35 and 56 one time at an event so I decided to get the 16-55 instead to make my life easier. Yeah its bigger, heavier...whatever. It's a compromise. Still WAY lighter than the full frame counterparts and probably better made too. I believe its actually lighter than all three of those primes together. So its all about perspective.

I’ve had the 16-55f2.8 for years and it pairs well with my XH2 but not so much on the XT3. I love my XT3 a hell of a lot more than the XH2 and am reluctant to go to the XT5 so now I’m considering the 16-80 to go with the XT3 for a lighter weight travel lens. If only the XT3 had ibis, it would be perfect.

Thanks for the comparison! I've been debating on selling my 23, 35, and 55 F2 lenses since I've been looking at OIS lenses. My right wrist hasn't been the greatest these days for run and gun so the OIS should help with shaky and/or slightly blurred photos. I mostly shoot in daylight so F4 would be more than enough with the 16-80. I still have an X-T1 so no need to spend the money on a new camera when this one still works great. I do plan to get an X-T4 in the future and maybe go with primes again or just the 16-55 F2.8.
@matthewstorerphotography
@matthewstorerphotography 2 года назад
Yes, this 16-55mm is a little heavier for run and gun style especially lacking the OIS. I love the 16-80mm. Can becoming annoying for low light, but with the OIS is ideal for photography, its mainly low light video. If you dont do that, no issue for you really.

the 16-80 is a no brainer when you get it with a camera body. I ordered the 16-80 with my XT4, but I don;t know if I'd buy it full price as a stand alone lens, but I'm sure it will be perfect choice for many fuji shooters who have had a camera body for a few years and want some of that new fuji mojo. I do have the samyang/rokinon 12mm on my sony and am thinking about getting that version for the XT4 however I may really want that 10-24 instead!!!!

Great video and while I agree with you about the 16-80mm being more versatile due the increased focal range and OIS, in my copy of the lens unless in good light, the images have a tendency to be a little soft and very soft at the 80mm end. In fact, I have decided to purchase a 16-55mm to replace it and thankfully found one on offer for £539. I know it will be heavier and have a reduced range without OIS but I am also confident that the images produced will be noticeably sharper.

Portraits don't always require super shallow depth of field, especially at wider focal lengths where you probably want to include some of the environment. Studio portrait shots are regularly shot at f5.6 to ensure nice sharp images. At the longer focal lengths you can actually get quite a shallow depth of field even at f4, just zoom in and get close.

The one that is on the camera the most is the 16-80.

Remember the Fuji XC, 16-50mm has image stabilization, but the more expensive XF 16-55mm does not. Around 11:27 you make a combo statement about it AND the XT in regards to image stabilization, which kinda sounds like you're saying the lens has I.S. It's a little hard to hear right, and I played it back five times.

I'm lucky enough to own both. You are right Matthew, there is overlap, but I can't bring myself to sell either. The 16-80mm has become my everyday walkabout lens. The versatility is excellent, covering most random opportunities, both photo and video. The 16-55mm is more specialised and the lens I chose for say, wedding day guest or social event stills photography. I have X-T4 and X-H1 bodies, so image stabilization on the 16-55mm is not an issue. However, my favorite combination is the 16-55mm F/2.8 on the X-H1. I feel comfortable, the ergonomics are perfect and the camera feels part of me. With this combo I always feel confident that my images will meet expectations. The X-T4 with the 16-80mm f/4 is the run and gun, day out, opportunity shooter. In truth, I love both and will be buried with them, one in each pocket.

But what is also noticed, and i can also see it in your comparison photos too, the 16-55 is quite 'darker', is it the contrast? in dark areas i'm missing some details and those areas almost turn to black, with the 16-80 i can see far more details in those areas. Is this an exposure thing and correctable?

I have owned the 16-55 for some time but it is now showing its true quality with the recently purchased X-T4's IBIS. It is a superb lens. Recent mobility problems led me to buy the 16-80mm, as a 'one lens only' solution. I have only found it "'OK' but it does not come near the 16-55mm for sharpness - although this might just be my particular example! Its performance is 'variable' but generally not up to ANY of my other Fuji lenses. I have decided to forego the convenience and 'travel' with the 16-55mm plus the 50-140mm - another superb performer.

As you know I use Freewell filters ( brilliant product ) ND64, CPL, Night Filter all 72mm so when I travel my bag has 16 80, 10 24 which are both 72mm and I usually chuck in 35 f2 if I want a light day with no camera bag. I have sold my 18 55 which came with my xt3 as it doesn't "cut the mustard" with either the 16 80 or 16 55.

I have a XS10 with IBIS so either lens will work in most situations. I really love the image quality of the 15-55 but will in the end buy the 16-80 along with a 10-24. When in the mountains I will consider renting the 55-140 to get more compression or the 55-200 for extended reach and lighter weight.

One of the reasons I'm choosing to go with the S10 is IBIS and the great choice of kits lenses. I usually do one video per month and occasionally shoot images. Would the 16-55 or 16-80 make a big difference over the 18-55 f2.8-4 for my use case? Appreciate insights. BTW, I have an option to pick the T200 with the 18-55 too for ~ $950

I just sold all my Canon gear, after using Canon cameras and lenses for over 20 years. I will probably re-equip myself with something by Fuji, and problaby the X-series rather than GFX, for versatility over ultimate image quality. You have summarized well the respective strengths of these two lenses, but I am still unable to decide which would suit me best! I also cannot decide between the X-H1 (IBIS, nicer placement of the shutter release, better grip) and the XT-3 or XT-4, lighter, more dials, more receent sensor. If it is this hard to decide, then it probably doesn't matter. Should I just toss a coin?

@@matthewstorerphotography I don't doubt your judgement. I have ruled out the XT-3. Obviously the X-T4 is more recent, with a more recent sensor and less weight as well as the improved battery life that you point out. The two things I greatly prefer on the X-H1 are the placement and angle of the shutter release and the substantial grip . As well as being closer in ergonomics and controls to the many Canon DSLRs I have gotten used to a second-hand X-H1 is about half the price of a slightly used X-T4 ... though I expect that difference would be forgotten in a month or two.

Hey Matthew, Thank you for the great review! Which lense do you recommend on the XT3- 18-55mm F2.8-4 OR 16-80 F4 (in addition to the Samyang 12mm) ? mostly for stills (landscape, portrait, nature, street) does the 16-80 worth the price? what about the IQ differences between these two lenses? I would like to know what you're thinking.. thanks :)

Mhmm great question. I prefer the 16mm compared to the 18mm in the short end. But espically the extra reach on the long end. However the price as you said is a big thing! Image quaility is just slightly better on the 16-80mm espically on the long end (35mm+) but I use this lens for video and stills so I am a little bias. But I would rate it as one of Fujifilms best lenses for its versatility

It seems to me that the 16-80 lens reveals the resolution of the x-trans 4 matrix better. The 16-55 lens is already 8 years old, it is suitable for the XT 2, for example, this is my opinion, maybe I have a bad copy of the 16-55 f 2.8.

For landscapes i prefer the 16-80 cause I usually close down to f5-8. For regular travel I prefer the 16-55mm f/2.8 cause I need the lower light and bokeh. Thanks for the review!

Great review! Which of the two lenses has better autofocus for video? I read a review that the 16-80 wasn't great shooting video. I want to upgrade from the 18-55, so I'm trying to decide between these two lenses. As far as price, I don't see a lot of difference in the price of these two lenses (in the U.S.).

Hey Geoff, since the upgrade has come out for the 16-80mm I am very pleased with the AF. Admittedly when it first launched that was correct. Yeah pricing is not so much different, the 16-55mm is very pro photographer based or certain type of videos (tripod or gimbal use) the 16-80mm is super versatile which is the why it walks this earth :D

Great video Matthew, i thoroughly enjoyed the review of both lenses. I own the Fuji 16-55 F2.8 and it is used when travelling or as my one lens one camera options.I love the lens and although the 16-80 mm is lighter, smaller and comes with the OIS system i couldn't see me ever wanting to swap my 16-55 for it. I am looking forward to your other reviews. I would love you to do one on the Fujifilm XF 8-16 mm F2.8 lens. Take care mate and be safe.

Yeah I actually understand that Kevin, I think the big thing for me that changes my mind is the use of Video that i do, where the 16-80mm really shines through! I would love to review the 8-16mm but that would literally leave me -$$$ in my back account haha.

I personally "upgraded" from 16-80 to the 18-55. The lens is much smaller, lighter, faster, doesn't lose focus in video while zooming and just feels more balanced, it's also much nicer to bring or when travelling, you definitely feel the size difference. One thing to stress is F4 is full frame equivalent to F6, on the iPhone you now have F6.2 equiv, so the 16-80 is marginally better than an iPhone for many types of photography (e.g. indoors, low light, casual), for a comparatively much heavier lens than other options. Being able to get to F2.8 at 18mm on the 18-55 is literally double the light coming into the lens, it makes the difference between a blurry or noisy image in a restaurant, vs a really nice one. Sure 16mm is noticeably wider, but at the expense of flatter (and in my opinion cheaper) looking images and the extra 25mm on the zoom end really isn't much, it won't make it much more useful for sports or wildlife and with F4 it has limited portrait use (if you even want to be this far away at 80mm). For me, the 18-55 is a clear winner and I sold my 16-80.
