What sets the FUJINON XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR lens apart is its weather-resistant design and constant aperture of F2.8 across a versatile focal range. This lens is capable of delivering ultra-sharp, high-quality images across the entire zoom range, from a wide-angle 24mm equivalent, perfect for capturing breathtaking landscapes, to a medium-telephoto 84mm equivalent, ideal for stunning portraiture.The advanced optical design of this lens controls various forms of aberration, ensuring edge-to-edge sharpness across the entire zoom range. The lens features a newly-developed Nano-GI (Gradient Index) coating technology that effectively inhibits ghosting and flare, producing clear, vibrant images.The XF16-55mm lens is equipped with a linear motor, providing fast, quiet autofocusing for a comfortable shooting experience. It boasts a weather-resistant and dust-resistant finish that can operate in temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius. When paired with the FUJIFILM X-T1 premium mirrorless camera, you can take advantage of a fully weather-resistant system.This lens consists of 17 elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical lens elements to control spherical aberration and distortion, and three ED glass lens elements to reduce lateral and axial chromatic aberration. This results in superior edge-to-edge sharpness across the entire zoom range. Fujifilm's unique HT-EBC (High Transmittance Electron Beam Coating) is applied to the entire area of the lens surface, ensuring ghosting and flare are controlled for sharp, clear images.The lens also features nine rounded aperture blades that create a smooth, circular bokeh. When combined with an X Series camera body with Lens Modulation Optimiser (LMO) technology, the performance from the lens is improved even further. LMO corrects for diffraction to produce images with edge-to-edge sharpness and create a realistic three-dimensional effect, even at small apertures.The lens uses an Inner Focusing System for high-speed AF. By reducing the weight of the focus lens and mounting the Twin Linear Motor, high-speed, quiet AF is possible. The fastest AF speed of 0.06 seconds brings comfort to your photo-shoot when by combining this lens with an X Series camera body offering Phase Detection AF. Combined with the near-silent shutter sound, photos can be taken unnoticed in quiet locations.The FUJINON XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR lens is not just about superior performance, it also offers high build quality and comfortable operation. Both the focus and aperture rings are metal, and the lens mount is made from brass for improved strength. The lens is approximately 60% of the weight of a full-size system, considerably reducing the burden on the photographer. The AF+MF function enables seamless manual focusing, allowing for fine adjustments after autofocusing on the subject. This lens is the perfect companion for any photographer seeking to capture stunning images in any weather condition.
