Can a zoom lens do it all? There's almost always a compromise between the convenience of a zoom's adaptable focal lengths and the image quality it can deliver. But the FUJINON XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR is a different breed. This lens is built to offer the versatility of a zoom lens with the ultimate image quality of a prime. The XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR is a fast, standard zoom providing a constant F2.8 aperture throughout. That means it's not only useful across a broad range of subjects, but it can also be used in all sorts of challenging lighting conditions.
Fujifilm's proprietary High Transmittance Electron Beam Coating (HT-EBC) is used to eliminate reflections and Nano GI coating is applied to control ghosting and flare caused by light bouncing around inside the lens.
In doing so, this cutting-edge technology improves the quality of light hitting the sensor, which increases overall image quality. The XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR also uses a rounded, nine-bladed aperture design to provide smooth and circular bokeh for outstanding subject separation.
Cover Every Angle
A standard zoom like the XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR is anything but 'standard' in terms of the subjects it lets you cover without changing lenses. From wide angle to short telephoto, this is a small lens with huge scope. At 16mm, you can record every detail in big landscape scenes, towering architecture, or cramped interiors. Zoom in to 24mm or 35mm and you've got a perfect lens for groups, street, or documentary photos. And up around 50mm, you're perfectly placed for portraits and close-ups. Of course, there's every focal length between those settings to make use of, too.
Record Every Detail
All of the XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR's versatility and image quality would be for nothing without great AF performance to back it up. This lens uses a high-speed linear motor that can focus as fast as 0.02 seconds,*1 so it'll react to the moment just as fast as you do. Combine the fast AF with Fujifilm's Face/Eye Detection AF technology for perfect portraits, or use it in Zone or Tracking mode on action subjects.
Ready for All Environments
Any professional standard zoom needs to be ready for adverse environments – and the XF16-55mmF2.8 won't let you down. The WR in the lens's name means it has a dust- and weather-resistant construction, letting you keep your eye on creating great images, whatever the climate.
