Stuck between the 18-55 and 16-80 for my Italy trip next month. My logic was the 16-80 for reach but it feels way too bulky on the X-T5.
I only have like 800 bucks left and I'm honestly so annoyed trying to pick. Which one is actually better for all-day walking in Rome?

I would suggest sticking with the Fujifilm XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS for Rome. Heavy gear often ruins the experience when youre doing 20k steps a day. You might want to consider these points:
- The 18-55 is much lighter for all-day carry
- f/2.8 helps in dim cathedrals
- It stays well under your budget Be careful about prioritizing reach over your actual physical comfort.
