Capturing the World in Wide-Angle: An Overview of the Fujifilm XF 16mm F2.8 R WR Lens

Overview:

Small and lightweight, the weather-sealed Fujifilm XF 16mm F2.8 R WR Lens (Black & Silver) features a 24mm-equivalent wide-angle lens and has a maximum aperture of f/2.8, that helps to deliver the best results from Fujifilm’s unique X-Trans™ CMOS sensors. This 16mm lens offers very high-resolution performance due to the optical design and adopts an inner focusing system driven by a stepping motor for faster and quieter auto-focusing. Its exterior incorporates durable metal components, providing a premium yet robust feel, while the aperture and focusing rings have been designed to be comfortable and easy to use. Plus, it is weather and dust resistant, and operates in temperatures as low as -10°C, making it ideal for shooting in a variety of conditions.

More details:

• High-resolution performance​ - The photo lens features 10 lens elements in 8 groups including two aspherical elements. The optimal arrangement of aspherical lenses suppresses spherical aberrations and field curvature while maintaining high performance from the center of the screen to every corner.
• Compact, lightweight, and stylish design​ - The Fuji 16mm 2.8 video lens weighs just 155g and is 45.4mm in length. It is the widest lens of the compact prime lens series. The aperture and focusing rings feature precise click stops and smooth damping for enhanced operation. The metal exterior uses the same design style as XF23mmF2 R WR, XF35mmF2 R WR, and XF50mmF2 WR for a robust, premium feel.
• Fast and silent autofocus​ - The inner focusing AF system uses a stepping motor to drive lightweight focusing elements for a fast, silent autofocus performance.
• Weather and dust resistant, capable of operating in temperatures as low as -10°C​ - The Fuji 16mm lens is weather-sealed at nine points around the barrel making it weather and dust resistant. Used with the weather and dust-resistant FUJIFILM X-Pro2 or X-T1/T2/T3, and X-H1 bodies mean users can shoot confidently in light rain or dusty environments without worrying about the conditions.
