Fujifilm xf 16 55mm f 2 8 r lm wr ii vs fujifilm 16 55mm f 2 8?

The original XF 16-55mm f/2.8 was the first constant f/2.8 standard zoom for Fujifilm X, and it's larger and heavier than the II. So if size and weight matter to you, the II is the easier one to carry.

The II frames like a 24-82mm on full frame, and f/2.8 gives about the depth of field of f/4.2 there. It isn't stabilised, so you'll rely on fast shutter speeds or a steady stance in dim light. It fits a long list of X bodies, from the X-E1 to the X-T5.

If you want to save money or weight and can live with a slower aperture at the long end, the XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 is the lighter option. For the full f/2.8 zoom, I'd pick the II over the original.
