Lens compatibility for X-H2

[GCR]

I am about to PX my X-T4 for an X-H2. I have the original 16-55, plus 18,23 and 35 primes.

i read there is an issue using the original 16-55 on the X-H2 with the.40mp sensor.

is that something I need to be particularly concerned about. I am just an amateur photographer using Fujifilm’s for landscape and holidays.

any advice appreciated.

many thanks

Thanks for the replies. I didn’t explain myself properly before. So this is what I am concerned about.

I have an X-T4 and recently purchased a mint 16-55 mk1 lens. Checking on YouTube I saw videos saying that this lens does not fully ‘resolve’ with a 40MP sensor camera and I had been looking to upgrade the X-T4 to an X-H2.. It looked like there was slight blurring particularly in areas near edges of the images. 

I guess some YouTube influencers are always looking for the next subject to create a video on, and could publish lots of videos about pixel peeping.

So my concern is whether this is really an issue? I do not want to buy the latest Mk2 lens, so if there is an issue I would stick with the X-T4.

Any user experience on using the X-H2 with older lenses such as the 16-55 Mk1 would be appreciated.

many thanks

Those answers are stupid AI, this is the weirdest forum ever.

There isn't an "issue", the lens is fully functional. Fuji are just saying that they don't believe the lens fully resolves the 40mp sensor. It will still look better on the 40mp sensor than it did on the previous sensors.

I used this lens a little on the xh2 and xh2s and more recently on an xt5. I saw the new one today when I was picking up a loan lens and whilst it is definitely lighter in my hand and I am told might be slightly better optically, I wouldn’t dream of changing. The first one is great and meets my varied needs but like anything else, it’s entirely up to you. Personally I tend to ignore the influencers. No disrespect, but they’re just not for me. Also some people don’t like the xh2 design so you might want to consider that before moving from xt. Personally I’m happy with both xh and xt bodies. I haven’t had the pleasure of an xt4 but I understand it’s a great camera. I suppose it depends on what you want to do with it. Hope this helps a little. Ultimately it’s your money and your choice.

I have two xh2s' and one xh2 and used the 16-55 for thousands of images and could not be happier. I too have the F2 23mm and love the combination.
