What is the best all-around lens for a Fujifilm X-T5?

I finally pulled the trigger on an X-T5 but now im stuck on which lens to actually keep on it. Ive been looking at the 18-55mm because everyone says its a classic, but then I read a few threads saying it cant really handle the 40mp sensor and looks soft.

So I was thinking maybe the 16-80mm f4 instead since Im heading to Japan in three weeks and want to travel light. My logic was that the OIS would help but then people say its not as sharp. My priorities are:

  • sharp enough for the new sensor
  • under $1000
  • okay for street stuff

Is the 16-55mm f2.8 the only real answer? It seems so heavy for walking around all day...

In my experience, that 40mp sensor needs the resolving power of the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 DC DN Contemporary for Fujifilm X over the 18-55mm for travel sharpness.
