The XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II is a Fuji X-mount lens for APS-C X-mount cameras (providing the equivalent of a 24-84mm lens) that improves on its predecessor with a lighter build and an upgraded linear AF motor. Key features include:
- Better optics for 40MP resolving power
- De-clickable aperture ring
- Near-silent AF
- Weather sealed
Cutting-Edge Optical Tech. The original Fuji XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR has been the go-to everyday lens for many Fuji shooters and is considered a sharp and very capable choice for a large range of subjects. Fuji has taken that quality even further with the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II. An extra ED element has been added to enhance edge sharpness and minimize chromatic aberration. Ultra-fine machining reduced ring patterns and created smoother bokeh effects. The overall resolving power has been improved to keep up with the latest high-megapixel cameras and autofocus got an overhaul resulting in less focus wobble, minimized subject searching, and quieter overall performance.
Better Build Quality. Boasting a 37% reduction in weight and 11mm reduction in length over the prior model, the XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II is easier to use on long shooting days. Extensive weather sealing has been added for worry-free use outdoors. This is all thanks to advances in lens manufacturing and improved polishing techniques.
Recommended Cameras. The XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II is incredibly versatile, offering coverage for a broad range of everyday scenes. It will pair with any X-mount, APS-C camera – even very high megapixel models. Options include the 40.2MP, 6K 30p Fuji X-T50, the exceptionally-portable Fuji X-M5, or the fast-shooting Fuji X-H2S.
