What is the fujifilm xf 16 55mm f 2 8 r lm wr ii good for?
The XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II is my pick for a single fast zoom on Fujifilm APS-C bodies. On X it frames like 24-82mm on full frame, which covers street, travel, events and most everyday shooting. The constant f/2.8 gives a bright viewfinder and useful background separation for portraits, with depth of field close to f/4.2. It isn't stabilised, so keep an eye on shutter speed in dim light.
It fits many X bodies, including the Fujifilm X-T5, Fujifilm X-H2S and Fujifilm X-Pro3. If you want to know how that focal range suits travel, the travel guide is a good read.
