Happy New Year everyone, thanks for this review Markus, this is your present for 2021! ;-)
At 16mm it's better than I thought, but at 80mm it's quite a bit worse. These corners are abysmal. On the positive note the bokeh is pretty good which is nice. The Fuji 18-55 had good sharpness but horrid bokeh.
There was still a part of me hesitating to get this 16-80 zoom, but thanks to your review, I have no hesitations anymore. This lens sucks big time.
Now, I hope Tamron will release their new 17-70 f2.8 in X mount and hopefully Sigma will follow suit with a mirrorless version of their old 17-70 f2.8-4 which was a very nice standard zoom.
Or maybe Fuji should hire some of Canon or Sony engineers to design a proper zoom?
