honestly im so done with this 18-55mm kit lens on my new X-T5. my logic was that it worked for everyone else so it should work for me but man the images just look mushy on this 40 megapixel sensor and its driving me crazy. I have a big family trip to Switzerland next Tuesday and i really need just one lens that can stay on the camera the whole time because i hate switching glass in the wind and cold. i was thinking about the 16-80 for the range but i heard the sharpness is hit or miss and the 16-55 is just way too heavy and has no stabilization... my budget is around 900 dollars and im panicking a bit. what is the actual best all-around zoom for this thing?
You 100% need the Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD for Fujifilm X! It is absolutely fantastic on that 40MP sensor because it resolves way more detail than the old kit glass. The built-in VC stabilization works amazing for those low light shots in the cold! Its super sharp with a constant f/2.8 aperture and fits your $900 budget perfectly... seriously, you are gonna love the images!
