Fuji 16-80 F4 R OIS WR: Reasons for buying (vs.18-55) and first impression after two weeks (English)

I discuss the features of Fujis new zoom lens "Fujinon XF 16-80mm F4 R OIS WR".

- Why did I buy the Fujinon XF 16-80mm F4?
- Why should it replace my Fujinon18-55mm F2.8-4?
- Why is it (hopefully) a good choice for city, travel and maybe even street photography?

The good old kit lens (Fujinon 18-55mm F2.8-4) is really a great lens. But a few things always annoyed me: The continuous aperture ring, the switch for the aperture automatic, the other switch for the OIS, the missing weather sealing "WR" and - last but not least - the limited focal length range. Therefore, I was very excited about the announcement of the new Fujinon XF 16-80mm in July. Even if a maximum aperture of F4 cannot compete with prime lenses, I mostly use an aperture from 5.6 / 8 at least in the city and street photography. This is why the f4 is completely sufficient for me. This and more information you will find in this video.

At the end of the video I show some pictures of my first two weeks with the new Fujinon XF 16-80mm F4 R OIS WR and my Fuji X-T3.

A detailed review will follow.

UPDATE:
Fuji released the second firmware update for this lens today (2019/11/11) and there seem to be big improvements:
- Super Sharpness
- Even more precise AF
- No more focus wobble
