Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II
The XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II is the X-mount pro standard zoom, and the Mk II's biggest story is shedding 245g off the original to reach 410g, earning a strong 79 in the pro tier. Weather-sealed across a 24-84mm equivalent range, it's built for paid work on X-T5/X-H2 bodies. Budget shooters can get a similar range cheaper from the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8, and there's no OIS for stabilization-dependent video on non-IBIS bodies.
