Fujifilm Exec Confirms XF16-80mm f/2.8 Is on the Table

An XF16-80mm f/2.8 has been the white whale for X-mount shooters doing run-and-gun editorial work. Igarashi saying it's 'possible' isn't a roadmap entry, but when the head of professional imaging says it out loud to a major outlet, it's not nothing. If you're an X-mount shooter waiting on a fast standard zoom before committing to a second body or a competing system, this is the closest thing to official acknowledgement you've had.
