16-80 has little exposure shift but the focus wobbling is now very minimal to non-existent if zoom in/out slowly and carefully..it's been my main video lens for sometime now.. i recently received my 18-120 and have no issues whatsoever with that lens on a firmware updated X-S10..this 18-120 is a great video beast thus far..

I can agree the wobbling is less apparent, but the exposure shift and less reliable AF is a non starter. I’ve been using the 16-55 for a while now and it is far superior with the linear motors (we’ll talk about it soon)

(02:45) Actually 18-120 F4 has no issues like that . I tired that lens so many times and it has almost NO exposure change or focus loss during zooming , especially if you don't zoom in or out too fast. Without hesitation It is the perfect lens for video . Besides, quality of photos and videos from that lens is just so good. But The problem is I had two copies of that lens and after 3-4 monts both of them stopped working :( I'm not sure what the problem is but I think it has something to do with its power zoom motor .

Well then, the QC alone may be enough to scare us off getting that lens…though I do hear a 16-55 mark II is coming, so that could be exciting. Though a 16-80 mark II could be cool as wella

For landscape photography, is this a better choice than the 16-55? I don’t like that the aperture has an encoder as opposed to an actual ring that does it physically

I can’t speak to landscape photography all that well, but I would still go with the 16-55 as it’s noticeably sharper than the 16-80. As far as the aperture ring though, you’ll have to deal with it being electronic on every X-mount lens unless you buy third party manual lenses!
