I'm wanting a small cheap zoom to pair with my XT-30ii for bike packing. I already have the XF 18-55mm f2.8-4.0 OIS, which I am very happy with, but wanted something, smaller, lighter and more disposable. Reports are that the XC lens is optically good. Can anyone confirm that? If it is noticeably worse than the XF 18-55 I will pass. I've tried the XC 15-40 f3.5-5.6 and wasn't impressed.
Geoff, I have the XF 16-50 on my X-T50 and love the lens. I would think the XC version would be a great choice for you as it is essentially the same lens except for the plastic lens mount.
