Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II Lens

Description

The Fujifilm XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II lens redefines standard zoom versatility with its advanced design and exceptional image quality, making it the ideal choice for both photographers and videographers. Compact and lightweight, measuring just 95mm long and approximately 37% lighter than its predecessor, this lens fits comfortably in the palm of your hand while delivering performance that rivals prime lenses.

With a newly designed optical system that includes an additional ED element for enhanced edge sharpness and minimised chromatic aberration, the Fujifilm XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II ensures exceptional clarity across all focal lengths. Its versatile range from 16mm to 55mm allows for wide-angle shots, everyday scenes, and detailed portraits, all with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture for outstanding low-light performance and beautiful bokeh, thanks to its unique 11-blade diaphragm.

Autofocus performance is fast, precise, and nearly silent, powered by a specially designed linear motor. With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.3m, it also excels in close-up photography. Furthermore, the lens introduces new features for hybrid creators, including a switch to disable click stops on the aperture ring for smooth, silent exposure adjustments, making it suitable for video work.

Prime Performance, Zoom Versatility

FUJINON Red Badge: Uncompromising Quality. Advanced Technology. The Pinnacle of Excellence
Nine years after its predecessor (the original Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR lens), Fujifilm’s flagship f/2.8 standard zoom lens is reborn. Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II lens features groundbreaking design updates that surpass mere evolutionary progress, plus broader video capabilities to help it excel in a wider range of scenarios. Compact and lightweight, this zoom fits in the palm of your hand, yet delivers image quality to rival a prime lens.

Minimal Size, Maximum Performance

Cutting-Edge Optical Tech in a Lens Just 95mm Long:

Advances in lens manufacturing techniques have led to a major drop in XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II lens’ size and weight compared to its predecessor, Fujifilm XF16-55mm f/2.8 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 filter thread has also been decreased to 72mm, so the new lens uses the same filters as the original XF50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR.

A Worthy Successor

Building on the Renowned Sharpness of XF Zoom Lenses:

While retaining the exceptional sharpness of its award-winning predecessor, an extra ED element has been added to XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II lens to enhance 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 the maximum aperture – an area where zoom lenses traditionally struggle – it delivers high-quality results with ultra-fine details.

One Lens, a Multitude of Options

Compromise-Free Creativity:

From wide angle to telephoto, XF16-55mm f/2.8 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 f/2.8 maximum aperture delivers excellent low-light performance and – thanks to its unique, 11-blade diaphragm – smooth, pronounced bokeh.

Fast, Precise Autofocus

High-Speed, Near-Silent Autofocus with No Drop in Performance:

Despite its compact size, XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II lens produces exceptional autofocus performance. This is thanks to a specially designed linear motor that enables fast and near-silent AF. The minimum focusing distance of 0.3m and maximum magnification of 0.21x provide impressive scope for close-up images.

A First for Video

New Features for Hybrid Creation Use:

Although primarily created for stills photographers, Fujifilm XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II lens also caters to the needs of video creatives. For the first time on an XF Lens, a switch allows users to disable the aperture ring’s click stops for smooth, near-silent exposure control, free from clicks and vibrations.

Great Results Don’t Wait

Compact, Lightweight, and Weather-Resistant:

The most dramatic moments often come in adverse weather conditions. That’s why Fujifilm XF16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II lens is designed to be dust and moisture resistant when paired with a weather-resistant X Series body, ideal for those who want to work anywhere in almost any conditions. Keep creating without worrying about water droplets, sand, dust, and low temperatures down to -10°C.
