FUJIFILM Fujinon XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR N II

FUJIFILM Fujinon XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR N II
Nine years after its predecessor, Fujifilm's flagship f/2.8 standard zoom lens is reborn. The Fujinon XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR N lens features innovative design upgrades that go beyond mere evolutionary progress, as well as wider video capabilities to help it excel in a wider range of scenarios. Compact and lightweight, this zoom lens fits in the palm of your hand, yet offers image quality to rival a prime lens.

Minimum size, maximum performance
State-of-the-art optical technology in a lens just 95mm long:
Advances in lens manufacturing techniques led to a major drop in the size and weight of the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR N II lens compared to its predecessor. Improved polishing and machining, as well as advanced mounting techniques, mean that the second-generation lens is now 11mm shorter and approximately 37% lighter than its predecessor.

A Worthy Successor
Based on the renowned sharpness of XF zoom lenses:
while maintaining the exceptional sharpness of its award-winning predecessor, an extra ED element has been added to the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR N II lens to improve edge sharpness and minimise 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 maximum aperture — an area where zoom lenses have traditionally struggled — it delivers high-quality results with ultra-fine detail.

One lens, one infinity of options
Uncompromised creativity:
from wide-angle to telephoto, the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR N II lens lets you capture every moment with the utmost precision. At 16mm, it offers wide coverage; 23mm is ideal for everyday scenes and brings documentary and street photography to life; while 55mm is ideal for portraits and allows you to focus on the details. Whichever focal length you choose, the maximum aperture of f/2.8 offers excellent low-light performance and, thanks to its unique 11-blade diaphragm, smooth and pronounced bokeh.

Fast and accurate autofocus
High-speed, near-silent autofocus with no drop in performance:
despite its compact size, the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR N II lens produces exceptional autofocus performance. That's thanks to a specially designed linear motor that allows for fast and near-silent AF. The minimum focusing distance of 0.3m and maximum magnification of 0.21x provide an impressive scope for close-up images.

A video premiere
New features for hybrid authoring use:
although created primarily for photo photographers, the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR N II lens also meets the needs of video creatives. For the first time in an XF lens, a switch allows users to disable aperture ring clicks for smooth, near-silent exposure control free of clicks and vibrations.

Great results don't wait
Compact, lightweight and weather-resistant:
The most dramatic moments usually happen in adverse weather conditions. That's why the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR N II lens is designed to be dust and moisture resistant when combined with a weather-resistant X-Series body, ideal for those who want to work anywhere and in almost any condition. Keep creating without worrying about water droplets, sand, dust and low temperatures down to -10°C.
