Fujifilm Fujinon XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS Lens Review

Fujifilm Fujinon XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS Verdict

Although most people who end up owning this lens will do by picking it up as part of a kit with the X-M1 camera, it still may be a compelling choice for owners of other X-series cameras, due to it's light weight, 16mm wide-angle and comparatively low price.

Add to that the decent optical performance throughout the zoom range, as well as low levels of chromatic aberrations, low falloff and distortion, it makes this a very competent lens, for not a lot of money.

   
  The Fujifilm Fujinon XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS lens is a lightweight lens with good sharpness throughout the zoom range.
