Product Overview

Fujifilm XF 16-80mm F4 R OIS WR is a standard zoom lens for Fujifilm X-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Fujifilm in 2019, it has 16 elements in 12 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Fujifilm XF 16-80mm F4 R OIS WR is externally-zooming. For incremental weathers, Fujifilm is kind enough to include weather sealing. On the lens barrel, one can find a physical aperture ring. Those who wish to focus manually can have the best of both worlds (with the usual caveats).
A standard zoom lens with moderate aperture, the Fujifilm XF 16-80mm F4 R OIS WR is more of a "volume seller" than a premium option. Still, some photographers may find the results "good enough". The lens is also stabilized, making it even easier to use for videos and stills alike.

Reviewers from pcmag have found:
The XF 16-80mm has outstanding central sharpness, and excellent resolution through most of the frame, but the edges are rather soft. At the minimum focus distance it nets 1:4 life-size magnification at the 80mm focal length. The manual focus experience isn't spectacular, but autofocus is quick and silent.
Pros
  • Excellent image quality at all focal lengths
  • Optical stabilization
  • Dust and splash protection
Cons
  • No weather protection
