X-T30
#13
I'm quite worried about the performance of XF 16-80. I have been waiting years for this lens - universal travel zoom with IOS and WR, one to rule them all, at least after XF 16-55 and XF 18-135 failed miserably in this job as well.

On the positive side, 440g is fairy OK-ish for a travel zoom. Combined with the heaviest body in the line, the X-H1 at 673g, you get 1.1 kg setup. On the other side, X-T30 is 383g.

Now, XF 16-80/4 currently only sells with X-T3, which weights 540g, making the entire setup just two dozen grams south of a kilogram. On the other hand, the price is staggering EUR 1900 for the kit, in fact too close to Z6 with Nikkor Z 24-70/4 S (which weights 1.175 kg) or DC-S1 with S 24-105/4 Macro (which weights a ton!).

The question is - is it worth it? It's great to have a compact system and Fujifilm bodies are a dream to shoot with, but I have some doubts regarding lens design and pricing...
