FUJIFILM XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II Lens

The XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II Lens from FUJIFILM is the second-generation standard zoom lens designed for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-Mount mirrorless cameras and offers a 24-84mm equivalent, wide-angle to portrait-length range. Characterized by its bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture, this lens's proven ability to perform in difficult lighting conditions and in low depth-of-field situations now features improved resolving power for FUJIFILM's latest 40MP sensors, all with a significant size and weight reduction.

Optical Design

Its optical design comprises aspherical elements, extra-low dispersion elements, and a super extra-low dispersion element, all of which help to reduce distortion and color fringing for improved sharpness and color accuracy throughout the zoom range. A fluorine coating has also been applied to protect the front element by repelling water, oil, and fingerprints.

Three extra-low dispersion elements and a Super ED element are used to greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce high clarity and color fidelity throughout the zoom range.

Four aspherical elements control distortion and spherical aberrations, which helps to improve sharpness and realize more accurate rendering.

Quiet Autofocus

A Linear Motor autofocus system delivers smooth, near-silent performance that is now faster and more accurate, which is especially beneficial to video applications and when working in noise-sensitive areas.

Focus wobble and subject searching is also minimized for clarity during important takes.

The de-clickable aperture ring allows for quiet and precise control of the lens during video recording.

Rounded 11-blade diaphragm delivers smoother, more rounded bokeh to add a pleasing out-of-focus quality to selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.

Weather-Resistant Design

The lens body incorporates extensive weather sealing to protect against dust and moisture, enabling worry-free use in inclement conditions and freezing temperatures as low as 14°F.
