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

Nine years after its predecessor (the original FUJINON XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR lens), Fujifilm’s flagship F2.8 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.

Key Features of the FUJIFILM XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II Lens

• 16-55mm focal length (24-84mm equivalent)
• Constant f/2.8 aperture
• 16 elements in 11 groups (aspherical, ED, super ED elements)
• Weather-resistant design
• Fast, quiet linear motor autofocus
• 11-blade diaphragm for smooth bokeh
• 0.3m minimum focus distance

Minimal Size, Maximum Performance

Cutting-Edge Optical Tech in a Lens Just 95mm (3.74 inches) Long

Advances in lens manufacturing techniques have led to a major drop in XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II lens’s size and weight compared to its predecessor, XF16-55mmF2.8 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 XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II lens to enhance edge sharpness and minimize 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, XF16-55mmF2.8 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 F2.8 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, XF16-55mmF2.8 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 (11.8 inches) 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, XF16-55mmF2.8 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*.

*May require firmware update of applicable X Series body. New features available in Movie mode when using Manual Exposure mode and a fixed ISO.

Great Results Don’t Wait

Compact, Lightweight, and Weather-Resistant

The most dramatic moments often come in adverse weather conditions. That’s why XF16-55mmF2.8 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 (14°F).
