Fuji XF 16-55mm F/2.8 R LM WR

The Fuji XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR is a fast-aperture normal-range zoom for Fuji X-mount mirrorless cameras. Key features include:

• Great for portraiture and wedding/event photography

• Fast, nearly silent autofocus

• High-quality optics

• Durable, weather-sealed build

Fast Normal Zoom. With a 35mm focal length equivalent to 24-82.5mm, this lens is perfect for portraiture, wedding/event photography, and all-around general use. The fast f/2.8 aperture enables both low-light shooting capability and subject/background separation.

Twin Linear Autofocus Motor. Provides fast, nearly silent performance for still and video use. Its inner-focusing and inner-zooming design keeps the physical size of the lens the same while ensuring extremely fast operation.

Optics. The twelve-group/seventeen-element optical formula uses a combination of three ED elements and three aspherical elements to minimize optical aberrations and distortions throughout the zoom range. There are Nano-GI (Gradient Index) coatings that change the refractive index to suppress lens flare and ghosting in diagonal incident lighting, and Fuji’s standard HT-EBC coating to handle traditional lens flare and ghosting.

Professional Build. The lens barrel’s fourteen distinct weather seals make it a strong workhorse in even the poorest of conditions.

Fuji’s 24-70 f/2.8-equivalent offering is one of the nicest you can find. Compared to the Canon 24-70mm f2.8 L II, Fuji’s is in a league of its own.

You may have noticed that Fuji lenses hold a special place in my heart. In many cases, it’s unfair to compare different lens systems as there are so many variables involved. I feel so confident in the Fuji 16-55 that I would gladly pit it against any competitor and easily best the sharpness and contrast of their lens offerings. This is an all-in-one dream of a lens, and one I can easily recommend to anyone wanting to cover a good normal focal range and be able to take advantage of light situations.

Do yourself a favor and take this guy home—you won’t be disappointed.
