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.

Reviewer score 74% (normalized by Neofiliac)
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
