Fuji XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II Lens, Filter 72 mm, Autofocus, APS-C

The XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR II Lens from FUJIFILM is the second-generation standard zoom lens designed for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-Mount mirrorless cameras and offers a 24-84mm equivalent, wide-angle to portrait-length range.
Characterized by its bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture, this lens's proven ability to perform in difficult lighting conditions and in low depth-of-field situations now features improved resolving power for FUJIFILM's latest 40MP sensors, all with a significant size and weight reduction.

Optical Design
Its optical design comprises aspherical elements, extra-low dispersion elements, and a super extra-low dispersion element, all of which help to reduce distortion and color fringing for improved sharpness and color accuracy throughout the zoom range.
A fluorine coating has also been applied to protect the front element by repelling water, oil, and fingerprints.
- Three extra-low dispersion elements and a Super ED element are used to greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce high clarity and color fidelity throughout the zoom range.
- Four aspherical elements control distortion and spherical aberrations, which helps to improve sharpness and realize more accurate rendering.

Quiet Autofocus
- A Linear Motor autofocus system delivers smooth, near-silent performance that is now faster and more accurate, which is especially beneficial to video applications and when working in noise-sensitive areas.
- Focus wobble and subject searching is also minimized for clarity during important takes.
- The de-clickable aperture ring allows for quiet and precise control of the lens during video recording.
- Rounded 11-blade diaphragm delivers smoother, more rounded bokeh to add a pleasing out-of-focus quality to selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.

Weather-Resistant Design
The lens body incorporates extensive weather sealing to protect against dust and moisture, enabling worry-free use in inclement conditions and freezing temperatures as low as 14°F.
