I am honestly surprised the X-H2 will be bundled with the XF 16-80.

They published a list of lenses with "40 MP resolving power" and the 16-80 is not on that list

Here is the full list of "40 MP lenses" according to Fujifilm:

XF16mmF2.8 R WR
XF18mmF1.4 R LM WR
XF23mmF1.4 R LM WR
XF23mmF2 R WR
XF27mmF2.8 R WR
XF33mmF1.4 R LM WR
XF35mmF2 R WR
XF50mmF1.0 R WR
XF50mmF2 R WR
XF56mmF1.2 R WR
XF80mmF2.8 R LM OIS MACRO
XF90mmF2 R LM WR
XF200mmF2 R LM OIS WR
XF8-16mmF2.8 R LM WR
XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR
XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR
XF50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR
XF70-300mmF4-5.6 R LM OIS WR
XF100-400mmF4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR
XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR

I was surprised to see the 18-120mm and 150-600mm on this list.

The MTFs of the 18-120mm aren't THAT great, and the 150-600mm is too slow at the long end at least.

I guess it is at least partly a marketing driven list.

To give a complete picture, these lenses are not considered future-proof according to Fujifilm:

XF 14/2.8
XF 16/1.4
XF 18/2
XF 23/1.4 (the old model, not the current LM)
XF 27 (non-WR, but since they share the same optics it's likely not on the list simply because it's discontinued)
XF 35/1.4
XC 35/2 (surprisingly, since it shares the otics with the XF 35/2, which is on the list)
XF 56/1.2
XF 56/1.2 APD
XF 60 Macro
XF 10-24
XF 10-24 WR
XC 15-45
XC 16-50
XF 16-80
XF 18-55
XF 18-135
XC 50-230
XF 55-200

So, of the whole Fujifilm X lens portfolio, 20 lenses made it on that list, 19 did not.

Bit surprise the 60 macro is not included.

10-24, 16/1.4 and 56/1.2, they aren't good enough?

This list is clearly marketing driven.
When stopped down the old 35mm f1.4 and 56mm f1.2 are very sharp.
Also the 14mm f2.8 is very sharp.
I used to own the 23mm f2 and it wasn't as sharp stopped-down as the lenses above.
