Fujifilm XF16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR II Lens

The Fujifilm XF16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR II is the successor to the previous XF16-55mm lens and has an approximate 37% reduction in weight compared to its predecessor, offering outstanding mobility despite its large aperture. The optimised 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.

Compact and lightweight design
Utilizing the latest lens processing technologies, the lens elements have been made thinner. This results in a reduction of the total lens length by approximately 11mm and a volumetric reduction by approximately 37.8% compared to the previous model. The weight has also been reduced by approximately 37.4% to about 410g, ensuring excellent mobility.

Superior imaging performance
Featuring an 11-group, 16-element configuration that includes 4 aspherical lenses, 1 Super ED lens, and 3 ED lenses. This design maintains high-resolution from the centre to the edges while minimizing chromatic aberrations, even with a large aperture. Enhanced ultra-precision manufacturing technology of aspherical lenses reduces ring patterns compared to previous models, resulting in smoother, more beautiful bokeh. Achieving a minimum focusing distance of 30cm across the entire zoom range, allowing for close-up photography with a maximum magnification of 0.21x.

Enhanced design for video recording
The introduction of the Aperture Click Switch allows users to toggle between a stepped aperture control for still photography and a smooth, continuous aperture control for video recording, ensuring seamless and intuitive operation. Minimizes focus breathing to provide more consistent framing during focusing.

High-speed, high-precision AF with quiet operation
The adoption of an inner focusing system and lightweight focusing lens elements, combined with a high-speed linear motor, enables rapid and precise autofocus, achieving speeds as fast as 0.02 seconds.

Weather resistant
This lens features a dust-resistant, weather-resistant, and low-temperature-resistant construction with 12 sealing points throughout the lens body, along with a fluorine coating on the front element for superior water and smudge resistance. When combined with Fujifilm's weather-resistant digital cameras, it provides reliable performance even during extended shooting in adverse weather conditions.
