16-80mm Lens Review - Fujifilm

October 11, 2019

A complete review of the Fujifilm 16-80mm zoom lens for photographers and all new XT-3 and XT-2 camera owners. 

Yes, I know there’s a HUGE spider on the TV in the background. For those of you with Arachnophobia, my sincere apologies!  For some reason, my screen display just keep repeating that one image.  Maybe because we’re close to Halloween. FWIW, it was shot on the 16-80mm lens!  :-)

The lens can be purchased here: https://amzn.to/2pa4evo
