What these focal lengths actually give you on the Fujifilm X-H2S
The Fujifilm X-H2S has an APS-C sensor, so it sees a 1.5× crop of what each lens projects. Every focal length below therefore frames 1.5× tighter than its marked number. That works against you here: the widest option, the Fujifilm XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR, frames like 12mm — not as wide as its marked number suggests. For a genuinely wide view on the Fujifilm X-H2S you want a lens marked around 16mm or shorter.
