Ive been shooting Fuji for years but this X-T5 sensor is making my life difficult. I just got back from a trip and my old 18-55 kit lens looks so soft at 40mp its actually frustrating.

I need one solid travel lens for a big trip to Italy next month because I'm done swapping primes in the dirt. I need something that handles the high res but wont weigh me down on 10-mile hike days. Budget is around $900. Is the 16-80mm actually sharp enough for the T5 sensor or am I gonna regret not just getting the heavy 16-55 red badge...
