Fujifilm XF 16-50mm f2.8-4.8 LM WR

Compact standard lens with excellent image quality

The new lens joins the extensive range of XF lenses developed for the X series mirrorless system cameras. These are known for their compact design and outstanding image quality.

The XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 R LM WR covers the most important focal length range from 16 mm at wide angle to 50 mm at medium telephoto (equivalent to 24 mm to 76 mm KB). It is suitable for a wide range of different subjects, from landscape and architectural photography to group shots and portraits.
The Zoomlens is compatible with the high-resolution 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor1and, at a weight of approximately 240 grams, is lighter than any other XF Zoomlens2. Its versatility makes it the perfect standard lens that is quickly to hand in any situation.
In addition to its high resolution performance, it has a particularly short close-up distance, which allows fascinating shots at a reproduction scale of almost 1:2*3 in relation to the 35 mm format. The lens is therefore also ideal for photographing plants, food and handicrafts.
FUJIFILM will be offering the new standard Zoom lens as a set with the FUJIFILM X-T50, FUJIFILM X-T5 and FUJIFILM X-S20 camera models, among others, which have an integrated image stabilizer.

Outstanding image quality

The lens covers the most important focal length range from 16mm wide-angle to 50mm telephoto (equivalent to 24mm to 76mm KB) and offers excellent imaging properties. The optical construction comprises eleven elements in nine groups. Three aspherical lenses and three ED glass elements minimize chromatic aberrations and contribute significantly to the high resolution.
In the telephoto range, a magnification of up to 0.3x is achieved, which corresponds to a magnification of 0.45x in 35 mm format.*3 The close focusing distance is 24 cm over the entire Zoom range, which corresponds to a distance of only 15 cm between the front lens and the subject.

Compact and lightweight

Weighing just 240 grams, the XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 R LM WR is the lightest Zoom lens in the XF series. Lightweight components and an optimally balanced construction make it the ideal companion for everyday use and when traveling. The internal zoom mechanism also contributes to the high level of operating comfort. As the tube does not extend when Zooming, the length of the lens always remains the same.

Fast and precise autofocus

The XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 R LM WR focuses on the subject with lightning speed and precision in just 0.015 seconds*4. This autofocus performance is made possible by a particularly compact and lightweight focus group and internal focusing with a linear motor.

Splashproof and dustproof

The weatherproof lens barrel is sealed against moisture and dirt at 13 points. The seals also ensure that the lens can be used at low temperatures down to minus 10 degrees Celsius. The XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 R LM WR is therefore ideally suited for use in light rain or in dusty environments as well as for landscape photography in winter or by the sea.
