Is the fujifilm xf 16 55mm f 2 8 r lm wr ii worth it?

The Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II is worth it if you shoot Fujifilm X on APS-C and want one fast, versatile standard zoom. It frames like 24-82mm on full frame, and the constant f/2.8 gives you good low-light performance and control over depth of field. It's the lighter of the two versions; the original is larger and heavier.

It isn't stabilised, so for dim handheld shots you'll lean on high ISO or a tripod. If you mostly shoot landscapes at f/8 to f/11, you don't need f/2.8. The Landscape guide points to lighter, cheaper f/4 zooms. The XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR is the variable-aperture option in the same range.
