It's strange that Sony is still not using its 26 mp BSI sensor that, AFAIK, they are supplying to Fuji for their X-T3 and X-T30.

16-50 doesn't have OSS while not all Sony APS-C have IBIS, you might argue it's a high end lens to use on high end bodies... But still, I wouldn't get it if no stabilization since I am not ready to invest in a new Sony body, it would have been nice on my wife's A6000 if stabilised

Because of very practical range, f2.8 and stabilization, plus very decent optics, Canon 17-55f2.8 was my preferred lens from 2006 till 2019 when i moved to EOS RP, it even made me switch back to APS-C after a short period with full frame in 2014
It wasn't compact nor lightweight....

I'm positively surprised actually. Ok, the cameras are just business as usual. However, the MTFs of those lenses are looking very good, they are light-weight and compact.
the 70-350mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS is actually just as light-weight as the Leica 50-200mm f/2.8-4 but provides more reach and even a slight equivalent speed advantage at the long end.
Honestly, I think this is quite a blow for Fuji and MFT - albeit a very late one.
