The FUJIFILM XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II Lens is a second-generation standard zoom designed for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-Mount mirrorless cameras, offering a versatile 24-84mm equivalent focal length range ideal for wide-angle to portrait photography. With a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, it excels in challenging lighting conditions and low depth-of-field scenarios, while its improved resolving power fully utilizes FUJIFILM’s latest 40MP sensors. Additionally, the lens features a redesigned, compact form that significantly reduces size and weight, making it a practical choice for photographers on the go.

Optical Design

The optical design of the FUJIFILM XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II lens features a combination of aspherical elements, extra-low dispersion (ED) elements, and a super extra-low dispersion (Super ED) element. This arrangement effectively reduces distortion and color fringing, ensuring enhanced sharpness and color accuracy throughout the zoom range. Three extra-low dispersion elements and the Super ED element significantly minimize chromatic aberrations, delivering high clarity and color fidelity. Additionally, four aspherical elements help control distortion and spherical aberrations, resulting in improved sharpness and more accurate rendering. A fluorine coating on the front element further protects against water, oil, and fingerprints, ensuring lasting performance

Quiet Autofocus

The XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II lens features a Linear Motor autofocus system that provides smooth, near-silent performance, enhancing both speed and accuracy. This is particularly beneficial for video applications and in noise-sensitive environments, as it minimizes focus wobble and subject searching for clear results during critical shots. The de-clickable aperture ring allows for quiet and precise adjustments while recording video. Additionally, the rounded 11-blade diaphragm creates a pleasing, smooth bokeh, enhancing the out-of-focus quality for selective focus and shallow depth-of-field techniques.
