Fujifilm XF16-55MM F2.8 LM WR II Lens

Prime Performance, Zoom VersatilityThe XF16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR II lens is the successor to the popular large-aperture standard zoom, flagship XF lens model. This new second-generation lens offers outstanding mobility despite its large aperture with a 37% weight reduction. The optimized lens configuration delivers superior image quality across the zoom range and features the new "Aperture Click Switch" for the first time in the XF lens lineup. Allowing for smooth brightness transitions during aperture adjustments, for more natural and seamless video recording. The bright F2.8 aperture throughout the entire zoom range, from the wide-angle 16mm to mid-telephoto 55m (25 to 84mm full frame equiv.) supports a wide range of photography genres including nature, landscape, and portraiture.

Thanks to its new lightweight design, weighing just 410g, and new video-friendly features, the XF16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR II expands the expressive possibilities of the XF lens lineup. The combination of high performance and portability broadens the scope of visual expression achievable with XF lenses for both photography and videography.

Cutting-edge optical Tech in a lens just 95mm longAdvances in lens manufacturing techniques have led to a major drop in the lens' size and weight compared to its predecessor, XF16-55mm 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 filer thread has also been decreased to 72mm, so the new lens uses the same filters as the original XF50-140mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR.

Building on the renowned Sharpness of XF Zoom LensesWhile retaining the exceptional sharpness of its award-winning predecessor, an extra ED element has been added to XF16-55mm F2.8 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.

Compromise-Free CreativityFrom wide angle to telephoto, 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.
