Product Description
The Fujifilm XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II is a premium large-aperture standard zoom lens that combines high-end performance with portability, making it ideal for both photography enthusiasts and professionals. As the successor to the acclaimed XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR, this updated version is lighter and more versatile, delivering outstanding image quality and advanced functionality in a compact design.
With a constant F2.8 aperture across its versatile 16-55mm focal length range (equivalent to 24-84mm in 35mm format), this lens excels in capturing a wide variety of scenes, from sweeping landscapes to detailed portraits. Its precision-engineered optics, featuring aspherical and ED elements, minimize chromatic aberrations and ensure sharp, high-resolution images from edge to edge. The smoother bokeh, thanks to advanced lens construction, adds a professional touch to portrait and close-up shots.
Weighing approximately 410g, the XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II is nearly 37% lighter than its predecessor, offering greater mobility and ease of use. This compact design does not compromise its ruggedness—the lens is fully weather-sealed, resistant to dust, moisture, and low temperatures, making it a reliable companion for shooting in challenging outdoor conditions.
For videographers, Fujifilm introduces the "Aperture Click Switch," a feature that enables seamless transition between stepped aperture control for stills and continuous, smooth aperture adjustments for video. This innovation allows for more natural exposure changes during filming. The lens is also optimized for video with reduced focus breathing, ensuring stable framing while adjusting focus.
