FUJIFILM XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II Lens Bundle with 72mm UV Filter + Deluxe Photo Starter Kit + Microfiber Cleaning Cloth (4 Items)

The FUJIFILM XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II Lens represents the second iteration of the standard zoom lens tailored for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-Mount mirrorless cameras, providing a focal length equivalent of 24-84mm, suitable for a range from wide-angle to portrait photography. This lens is distinguished by its consistent maximum aperture of f/2.8, which enhances its performance in challenging lighting environments and shallow depth-of-field scenarios. Additionally, it boasts improved resolving capabilities, making it compatible with FUJIFILM's latest 40MP sensors, all while achieving a notable reduction in both size and weight.

Optical Design

The optical configuration includes aspherical elements, extra-low dispersion elements, and a super extra-low dispersion element, all contributing to the minimization of distortion and color fringing, thereby enhancing sharpness and color precision across the entire zoom range. Additionally, a fluorine coating has been applied to the front element to provide protection against water, oil, and fingerprints.

To significantly diminish color fringing and chromatic aberrations, three extra-low dispersion elements and one Super ED element are incorporated, ensuring high clarity and color fidelity throughout the zoom range. Furthermore, four aspherical elements are utilized to manage distortion and spherical aberrations, which aids in improving sharpness and achieving more accurate rendering.

Quiet Autofocus

A Linear Motor autofocus system provides a seamless and nearly silent operation that has been enhanced for greater speed and precision, making it particularly advantageous for video production and in environments where noise is a concern. The occurrence of focus wobble and subject hunting is significantly reduced, ensuring clarity during critical recordings. The de-clickable aperture ring facilitates quiet and accurate adjustments of the lens while filming. Additionally, the rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes to a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing bokeh, enhancing the out-of-focus quality in selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.

Weather-Resistant Design

The most intense moments frequently occur under challenging weather circumstances. For this reason, the XF 16-55mm F/2.8 R LM WR II lens is engineered to be resistant to dust and moisture, especially when used with a weather-resistant X Series body. This combination is perfect for individuals who aspire to work in a variety of environments and conditions. Continue your creative endeavors without the concern of water droplets, sand, dust, or temperatures as low as -10°C (14°F).
