Fujifilm Fujinon XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR

Fujifilm Fujinon XF, APS-C / DX

Product details

The Fujinon XF16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR is a bright and weather-resistant zoom lens designed for the X-series mirrorless system cameras. It covers a focal length range of 24-84mm (equivalent to full-frame), making it highly versatile.

To achieve excellent image quality in this lens category, the fast standard zoom lens features a constant aperture of F2.8 and consists of 17 elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical lenses and three ED lenses. Fujinon’s specially developed HT-EBC coating and Nano-GI treatment further minimize surface reflections.

The XF16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR has nine aperture blades that create a nearly circular aperture, resulting in an outstanding, soft bokeh effect. The lens employs an internal focusing mechanism that utilizes a lightweight focus lens and a twin linear motor, enabling fast and quiet autofocus. The fastest autofocus speed of 0.06 seconds is achieved by the XF lens when paired with an X-series system camera featuring phase detection autofocus. The XF16-55mm is sealed at 14 points, making it both splash and dust resistant.

The focus and aperture rings, as well as the lens body, are made of metal. The texture and torque of the control rings provide optimal handling, especially during manual focusing. The lens mount is made of brass, ensuring extreme durability.

Gemessen an Fujifilm spiegellos, 40 MP, APS-C: In COLORFoto 1/2023 haben wir die ersten Festbrennweiten an der Fuifilm X-H2 mit 40 Megapixeln getestet. Nun folgt das lichtstarke 2,8/16-55 mm für 1100 Euro. Kann es am 40-MP-Sensor das überzeugende Testresultat aus COLOR- Foto 7/2017 an der älteren Sensorgeneration wiederholen?...

1300 Euro kostet das lichtstarke Tele mit Bildstabilisator und 120 mm äquivalenter KB-Brennweite – und diesen Preis ist es auch wert. Bereits bei offener Blende überzeugt das 2,8er mit sehr guter Leistung bis in die Ecken. Abgeblendet legen Auflösung und Kontrast noch etwas zu, der Randabfall sinkt – empfohlen.
