Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f2.8 R WR Black

The XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR from FUJIFILM is a versatile standard zoom lens designed for FUJIFILM X-Mount APS-C format mirrorless cameras, offering a 24-84mm equivalent, wide-angle to portrait range. Featuring its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, this lens excels in difficult lighting conditions and offers remarkable control over depth of field.

A professional zoom lens with a large aperture needs to produce stunning images, and the XF16-55mm uses a 9 lens hood to help minimise spherical aberrations. The rounded diaphragm opening is designed to create a more circular aperture. This creates a smoother, rounder and more natural bokeh.

The lens consists of 17 elements in 12 groups, which include three aspherical elements to reduce any distortion and spherical aberrations. To maintain edge-to-edge sharpness throughout the zoom range, three ED elements with extremely low dispersion are also used to help control chromatic aberrations.

FUJIFILM's patented HT-EBC (High Transmittance Electron Beam Coating) multi-layer coating on the entire lens surface helps minimize flare and ensures high light transmission efficiency, improving the lens' performance in a variety of lighting conditions.

This coating is produced using a high voltage electron beam that forms a very thin and homogeneous layer on the glass surface. This layer has a very low refractive index, which allows high light transmission and minimizes glare.

Nano GI Coating (Nano Gradient Index Coating) is also used to minimize the appearance of glare and color anomalies that can affect photo quality. This nanotechnology-derived coating uses different refractive indices of light in different layers of the coating, creating a gradient index structure. This structure allows for more efficient reflection of light on the lens surface and suppresses glare from light coming in at diagonal angles. Nano GI Coating is also designed to minimize color anomalies such as chromatic aberrations that can lead to undesirable color distortion.

The AF system is based on a high-speed linear motor that can focus in as little as 0.02 seconds (when combined with the FUJIFILM X-T4). It delivers smooth, near-silent performance that is particularly advantageous for video and when working in noise-sensitive areas.

The lens' dust- and moisture-resistant design lets you immerse yourself in photography no matter the weather, allowing for worry-free use in adverse conditions and freezing temperatures down to -10°C.

This lens can achieve the perfect balance of sharpness with fine bokeh. It delivers true-to-life colours never before seen in a zoom lens.
