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

The XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 is a sensible travel zoom, and I'd happily pack it. On an APS-C Fujifilm body it covers roughly 24-75mm in full-frame terms, which handles streets, food, and most landscapes. Its weak spots are reach and low light. It isn't stabilised, and its aperture narrows as you zoom, so pair it with a body that has in-body stabilisation for dim churches and markets. The travel guide also suggests a zoom reaching a bit further, around 27-200mm equivalent if you want more telephoto.

If you want a faster lens, the Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II keeps f/2.8 throughout. The original 16-55mm f/2.8 is larger and heavier than the II, so I'd only choose it for the extra bulk you're willing to carry.
