As a Fujifilm mirrorless camera owner, I wanted to consider the best lenses for vlogging. I narrowed my search to the Fujifilm XF16mm f/2.8 and the Fujifilm XC15-45 f/3.5-5.6. Here are the factors that came into play

-Field of view (Tells you how far you have to reach out to get good framing)
-Aperture or lens opening (How much light the lens lets in)
-Image quality
-Stabilization (Smooth video brings up production value)
-Weight
-Cost-to-quality ratio

Fuji's other lens options are too heavy or too expensive. Here is my review of both of these lenses if you want to vlog with a Fujifilm camera
