This is that one lens, all camera systems need ‘that’ lens and for Fuji this is it.  It is the one lens that you must own regardless of what you shoot. Maybe the best well made lens (aside from the ‘red label’ weather sealed lenses) that Fuji have made & one of three lenses that comes with a metal lens hood.

Of all the Fuji Lenses this is the one that always comes with me all the time, it lives on my X-Pro and according to my Lightroom stats is the lens I have shot with most and also has given me more images than any other lens that have been used in my portfolio.  It will be intresting to see if the XF 16-55mm will beat that statistic after a few years of shooting though.
