Is the fujifilm xf 16 55mm f 2 8 r lm wr good for video?

The 16-55mm f/2.8 can do good video work, but I wouldn't call it an ideal video lens. On APS-C it frames roughly like 24-82mm on full frame, and the constant f/2.8 gives you control over depth of field. It isn't stabilised, though, and it's larger and heavier than the II, so long handheld shots will show it. A gimbal, a tripod, or a stabilised body helps a lot.

If you shoot vlogs, you'll want a wider view than this lens gives at its short end, so check the vlogging tips. Whatever lens you choose, budget for sound early, because bad audio ruins more videos than soft focus. For the wider picture on video gear, see Video.
