Fujifilm XF 16-80mm f4 R OIS WR Lens First Impressions:

As some of you know, I’ve been shooting with the new Fuji X-Pro3 lately.  I’ll be writing up my review soon but for now, you can read my first impressions of it.  In addition to the new camera, I’ve also been testing the new XF 16-80mm f4 R OIS WR lens.  I should’ve got this earlier but Fall was very busy time for me.  Anyway, I’ve shot with it around the city already, and I even brought it along with me on one of my model shoots.  I normally prefer fixed focal length lenses for my shoots but I got a few photos I really liked from this zoom.  I will be writing up a big review for this lens but for now, here’s my first look of it.
