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

Not really, as a vlogging lens. The XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II is a solid standard zoom on APS-C, but it isn't stabilised, and its wide end (16mm on APS-C) frames like about 24mm on full frame. My vlogging guide suggests 16-20mm full-frame equivalent for arm's-length shooting, because a 24mm view crops you tight. So at arm's length you'll likely find it a bit tight.

If you want to use Fujifilm X for vlogging, the XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR is the other standard zoom in the catalogue, and it's worth comparing. Whichever lens you pick, budget for sound too. Check the audio notes before you buy, because bad sound ruins more videos than soft focus.
