The Fujifilm 18-55mm f/2.8-4 was one of the most legendary kit lenses of all time, but now we have a replacement in the 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 LM WR. Can this new kit lens resolve the 40 megapixel detail required on the latest cameras? And more importantly, can it live up to the legacy of its precursor? Chris Niccolls roamed the streets of Calgary to find out.

For those of us on the XT3 or older models, the 18-55mm is still the lens to go for thanks for the OIS switch. Clearly Fujifilm is targeting its new kit to XT4/XT5/XT50 users.

For an all round lens also consider the Tamron 17-70 2.8. Yes it is a bit larger, but it will be worth it for its versatility. It has an F.28 aperture throughout the range, and at the 70mm telephoto, that 2.8 will allow you to get soft out-of-focus backgrounds if you need but can sharpen up at smaller apertures to amke for a great portrait or landscape lens. The lower aperture will also allow you to get better low-light shots throughout the range, and maintain a higher shutter speed for moving subjects.

Update the camera and lens firmware to help with exposure stepping in video. Use something like DxO PureRAW for lens corrections and it is useable as a landscape lens in the F7.1 to F9 range. It was clearly designed for video but it can be used for photos with good to very good results.

I have mixed feeling about this lens. I really like that they went to 16mm and included weather sealing. F4.8 is a bit too dark for me for general use though. The internal zoom is a nice to have. I wonder if the colours have improved. As that was the biggest reason for me to go for the 16-55. Those colours were very similar to the colours of my primes. Which helps with editing.

I tested the 18-55 on my X-T5 and was, to my own surpirse, pretty underwhelmed by its performance. Maybe I got a bad exemplar or I'm spoiled by my prime lenses but especially on the wide end it never managed to be sufficiently sharp. Pity, as I like the size and could sometimes use an allround zoom again. So maybe I have to wait for some second hand 16-50s.

I mean my Olympus 12-40mm 2.8 is also a kit lens and it is the best standard zoom I have ever used and that you can get for the system.

That lens is sold in a kit but it part of Oly's Pro line so not really a traditional kit lens. Oly's Pro branded lenses are very good.

@@muttishelfer9122 true, f2.8 is hardly impressing on APS-C to be honest, for low light you need faster glass on both systems. But after having owned both I can say with conviction that the Olympus is definitely the better lens - but not a "real" kit lens. Also f4.8 (f7.2 equivalent) on the new lens is very unimpressive, and noticably slower than the mft which is constant f2.8 (f5.6 equivalent).

The sharpness comparison with the 18-55 looked pretty much the same to me. Could you do a comparison to the Tamron 17-70 f2.8?

+ sharpness and 2mm on wide end. - OIS, 5mm on tele end and not insignificant amount of light. Also it's f/3.2 on 17mm already! And it's expensive, $400 in kit (with pretty costly cameras) and $700 standalone are not your usual kit lens prices.

It feels, I hope, like a good upgrade from my 18-55. I have one on order due to the 16mm, WR and improved IQ. Price is fair considering inflation over ten years and the war and health shocks to the world economy over the last four years. Nice review. Looking forward to receiving mine in June.

The loss of zoom and aperture at the telephoto end is kind of a big L. I wonder if they could have gotten that back with a changing-length zoom and a bit more weight budget.

The best kit lens for Fuji is the 16-50, XC version. Dirt cheap, good optics, good range, OIS (cancelled in the new XF 16-50), the paint never gets scratched like other XF lenses, dust and moisture proof in REAL use (without having to pay the price for this feature).

Agree - I've had it for years with my X-T20 and it's a great combo ....and when I wanted a prime rather than spend $$$ on new Fuji's or Sigma's I bought a mint Konica Hexanon 50mm and adapter for under $100 and it's fantastic on that sensor

Shame about the stabilization. It was my impression that the lens stabilization worked in tandem with camera stabilization to get even better results. I guess Fuji know what they're doing though...

Am I the only person who can’t see the difference in this, and other “18-55 can’t resolve the new sensor” videos. Works really well on my XT-5. I will wait til all the used 16-50’s turn up at MPB by Xmas and get one for £300

f/4 on 55mm wasn't fast either. F/4.8 is just half a stop slower, so I doubt one would see a huge difference in shallow DOF.

Well it’s also 5 mm longer. Which adds to the seperation and more pleasing portraits due to being more or less an 85mm equiv.
