True but you donβt get a lot of subject isolation on a 24-70 f/2.8 which is what the op was asking about. The 16-55 f/2.8 gave you about the same subject isolation as a 24-70 f/2.8 shot at f/4. That's just a fact of life when dealing with crop sensors. That's why I bought the Metabones Speed Booster. For myself I appreciate having three lenses with the same 67mm filter size (Viltrox 13mm, Tamron 17-70 and Fuji 70-300mm). Similar to the 16-55, I'm hoping the Tamron can do some wide and tele astrophotography at 2.8 as well; the Lenstip review indicates its coma and astigmatism levels are (relatively) low.

Face painting - Spring Festival, Goldfields, Western Australia, 2018. Fuji X-T2, XF 16-55 @ 51mm, 2.8, ISO 1,000. Yes as weβve discussed, primes offer a lighter package, faster aperture and are usually optically better than zooms β but they have their trade-offs was well.
