Is the fujifilm xf 16 50mm f 2 8 4 8 r lm wr good for landscape?

Yes, it's a sensible landscape lens, especially as a first one. On a Fujifilm X body it frames like 24-75mm on full frame, so the 16mm wide end gives you a decent sweep of scenery. Landscape work usually happens at f/8 to f/11, where that lens's f/2.8-4.8 maximum aperture doesn't matter much. You also don't need stabilisation, since landscape shooting is slow and a tripod is the norm.

It won't give you the huge skies of a dedicated ultra-wide, though. For that, look at the landscape lens guide, which recommends a wide zoom around 10-24mm on APS-C. If you want something that handles landscapes and everything else, the Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II is a step up in aperture, and the lens buying guide explains how to build a kit around it.
