So the 16-55mm is slightly heavier. Keep in mind it also has a short zoom range though, but does have that larger f/2.8 aperture. Size. The Fuji 16-55mm measures 3.28 x 4.17″ / 83.3 x 106 mm. The 18-135mm is 2.98 x 3.85″ / 75.7 x 97.8 mm. Once again the 16-55mm is slightly larger but only marginally.
The 16-80XF has a constant aperture of F4, which is one stop slower than the F2.8 of the 16-55mm. The 18-55mm has an aperture advantage on the wide end (f2.8), though the F4 maximum aperture is shared over a lot of the zoom range. It’s that smaller maximum aperture that allowed Fuji to deliver this focal range in such a compact body, however.

Tamron’s second entry into the Fujifilm XF market is certainly a great choice. The 17-70mm f/2.8 is unlike any other lens for Fuji. While it might draw comparisons to the native 16-55mm f/2.8 lens, Tamron’s 17-70mm offers a much broader field of view, making it perfect for a variety of photography genres.
Fujifilm XF 16mm f2.8 R WR Pros: Well-made. Compact. Nice lens hood. Weather sealed. Fast and accurate autofocus. Excellent image quality. At f2.8, it’s still a fast lens, and if you don’t absolutely need the f1.4 maximum aperture of its larger sibling, you can save yourself $600, and get a fantastic performing lens in the process. At $399
Fujifilm’s XF 18-55mm f2.8-4 is a general-purpose zoom for its X-mount mirrorless cameras, and often bundled with bodies as a kit lens. Launched in September 2012, it delivers a flexible 27-84mm equivalent range taking you from wide-angle to mild telephoto, making it an ideal walk-around lens.

From samples, the Sigma has more color fringing and the bokeh isn't as nice, while the Sony 16-55 has almost no fringing in most situations. The 16-55 is also better sealed, and has more physical controls. However, it is pretty heavy (although not uncomfortably so) and is obviously a lot more expensive.
