16836580

The XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II lens is the successor to the popular large-aperture standard zoom lens, the FUJINON XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR, and represents the flagship model in the XF lens lineup.

This new version has achieved an approximate 37% reduction in weight compared to its predecessor, offering outstanding mobility despite its large aperture.

The optimized lens configuration enhances imaging performance, delivering superior image quality across the zoom range. In addition, Fujifilm has introduced the “Aperture Click Switch” for the first time for the XF Lens lineup. This new feature allows for smooth brightness transitions during aperture adjustments, making video recording more natural and seamless.

• The entire zoom range from a wide-angle 16mm (equivalent to 24mm on a 35mm film format) to a medium telephoto 55mm (equivalent to 84mm on a 35mm film format) can be shot with a maximum aperture value of F2.8.
• The lens construction consists of 16 elements in 11 groups, including four aspherical lenses, one super ED lens, and three ED lenses. High resolution is maintained from the center to the periphery, and chromatic aberration is suppressed despite the large aperture of the lens.
• The evolution of the aspherical lens ultra-fine processing technology suppresses the occurrence of ring patterns compared to conventional models and expresses a smooth and beautiful bokeh effect.
• Minimum focusing distance of 0.3m across the entire zoom range. Maximum magnification of 0.21x enables close-up photography.

The “XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II” is a large-aperture standard zoom lens capable of shooting with a maximum aperture of F2.8 across the entire zoom range from a wide angle of 16mm (equivalent to 24mm in 35mm film format) to a medium telephoto distance of 55mm (equivalent to 84mm in 35mm film format).

It is suitable for a wide range of still image shooting genres, such as nature and landscape photography with its high descriptive performance, and portraiture with its smooth and beautiful bokeh. In addition, the lightweight design with a weight of approximately 410g and new functions to support movie shooting expand the range of visual expression with the “XF lens”.

The use of an inner focus system reduces the size and weight of the focus lens. Furthermore, the focus lens group is driven by a high-speed linear motor to achieve a high-speed, high-precision AF of approximately 0.02 seconds*2, ensuring that the decisive moment is never missed.

• The latest lens processing technology has succeeded in making the component lenses thinner. Compared to conventional models, the overall lens length has been shortened by approximately 11mm, the volume has been downsized by approximately 37.8%, and the weight has been reduced by approximately 37.4% to around 410g.
• The lens barrel is sealed in 12 places to make it dust resistant, water resistant, and resistant to temperatures as low as -10℃. In addition, the fluorine coating on the front lens provides excellent water and dirt repellency. Combined with the FUJIFILM X-H2S or other digital cameras designed to be dust resistant, water resistant, and resistant to low temperatures, the lens can be used with confidence for long hours of shooting in bad weather conditions.

The Fujifilm XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR II Lens comes with a full 2 year warranty.
