    I am curious if anyone owned either or all three of these lenses and compared them.

    The Tamron 15-30mm G2 f2.8 VR lens. Only one with image stabilisation, which would be helpful on my 50S, and reported to cover the sensor from 18mm to 30mm.

    The Canon 16-35mm f2.8 iii lens. Lighter than the Tamron, but no image stabilisation. Reported to cover the sensor from 20mm to 35mm.

    The Fujifilm 20-35mm F4. Slowest, but native lens and lightest.

    Curious about chromatic aberrations, and image distortions.

    Thank you.

    I can't speak to the Tamron or Canon lenses, but I can tell you that the Fuji 20-35 is an outstanding lens. Very sharp. I've not noted any issues with CAs or distortions you mention, of course those would be corrected for in camera (jpgs) or by lens profile in your raw converter of choice. I am a fan of the Tamron G2 lenses. I own 2 for my Nikons, and once AF fine tuned are as good as any lens out there. At such short focal lengths though, I would think IS is much less of a concern.
    Hope this helps
