Lens Description: The Fujinon XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS Lens from Fujifilm is a zoom lens with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 24-76mm, covering wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives. It is designed specifically for the Fujifilm X-series of mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensors. The lens provides an 83.2-31.7° angle of view and features auto and manual focus. The XC 16-50mm has a maximum aperture of f/3.5 and can be stopped down to f/22 in 1/3 EV steps. It contains 12 elements in 10 groups, including 3 aspherical elements and 1 extra-low dispersion element that minimize chromatic aberrations, distortions and color fringing throughout the zoom range, while also contributing to high image sharpness.

Photography Life Review Summary: The Fujifilm XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS is a decent kit lens with a fairly decent optical performance. It is very light and compact, and while it is not a super sharp lens, it is good enough for most everyday photography needs. It couples really well with a lightweight Fuji X-series camera body like the Fuji X-T30 or X-T200, making it a great lens to travel with.
