Quality Lens
I bought this to go on my XT-1 and found it a superb perfomer, it is solidly built and feels high quality.
Images are sharp at every focal length.
Soon afterwards though I managed to get hold of a well priced 16-50mm mk2 and did a lot of comparison shots in various situations and after closely inspecting the images, found no difference in image quality!, I know samples of lenses can vary but Fuji don't make any 'bad' lenses!
So what to do?
If you want the better quality, better performing, higher grade but more expensive lens get the 18-55mm, if you want the same or similar image quality and save some money, get the 'cheap' feeling 16-50mm, the extra 2mm makes a difference as well.

Handy all in one
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this to save looking for the right sized posi drive or flat head, easy to use when changing the bits round and seems good quality for light occasional use, especially the drive bits.
Recommended if you want a handy screwdriver set.

Good but hefty
I bought this lens based on user reviews as I was looking for a great 'do it all' lens and it did fit the bill, reasonably sharp across the range for a zoom lens and the glass gives good rendering, and of course, its superb OS capability.
So what gave?, well for me its a heftyish lens for a walkabout all day on an XT200, I realised I prefer something light and fast so ended up selling it on.
