Description
The Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II Lens is a high-performance standard zoom lens for Fujifilm X-series mirrorless cameras. It features a constant f/2.8 aperture, providing excellent low-light capabilities and creative control over depth of field. With a versatile 16-55mm focal length range (24-82.5mm equivalent), it covers a wide variety of shooting scenarios from wide-angle landscapes to portraiture. The lens is designed with weather-resistant construction, making it suitable for outdoor and challenging conditions.
Key Features
Minimal Size, Maximum Performance
Cutting-Edge Optical Tech in a Lens Just 95mm (3.74 inches) Long:
Advances in lens manufacturing techniques have led to a major drop in the XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II lens size and weight compared to its predecessor, the XF16-55 mm F2.8 R LM WR. Improved polishing and machining, plus advanced assembly techniques, mean the second-generation lens is now 11mm shorter and approximately 37% lighter than its predecessor. The filter thread has also been decreased to 72mm, so the new lens uses the same filters as the original XF50-140 mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR.
A Worthy Successor
Building on the Renowned Sharpness of XF Zoom Lenses:
While retaining the exceptional sharpness of its award-winning predecessor, an extra ED element has been added to the XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II lens to enhance edge sharpness and minimize chromatic aberration. In addition, advances in aspherical lens technology and ultra-fine machining combine to reduce ring patterns and create smooth bokeh effects. Even at the maximum aperture – an area where zoom lenses traditionally struggle – it delivers high-quality results with ultra-fine details.
One Lens, a Multitude of Options
Compromise-Free Creativity:
From wide angle to telephoto, the XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II lens lets you record every moment with the utmost precision. At 16mm, it offers broad coverage; 23mm is ideal for everyday scenes and brings documentary and street photography to life, while 55mm is ideal for portraiture and lets you focus on details. Whichever focal length you choose, the F2.8 maximum aperture delivers excellent low-light performance and, thanks to its unique, 11-blade diaphragm, smooth, pronounced bokeh.
Fast, Precise Autofocus
High-Speed, Near-Silent Autofocus with No Drop in Performance: Despite its compact size, the XF16-55 mmF2.8 R LM WR II lens produces exceptional autofocus performance. This is thanks to a specially designed linear motor that enables fast and near-silent AF. The minimum focusing distance of 0.3m (11.8 inches) and maximum magnification of 0.21x provide impressive scope for close-up images.
A First for Video
New Features for Hybrid Creation Use:
Although primarily created for still photographers, the XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II lens also caters to the needs of video creatives. For the first time on an XF Lens, a switch allows users to disable the aperture ring’s click stops for smooth, near-silent exposure control, free from clicks and vibrations*.
Great Results Don’t Wait
Compact, Lightweight, and Weather-Resistant:
The most dramatic moments often come in adverse weather conditions. That’s why the F16-55 mmF2.8 R LM WR II lens is designed to be dust and moisture resistant when paired with a weather-resistant X Series body, ideal for those who want to work anywhere in almost any conditions. Keep creating without worrying about water droplets, sand, dust, and low temperatures down to -10°C (14°F).
