Fujifilm XF 16-55mm ƒ/2.8 R LM WR Photography Lens with Fujifilm X-Mount
Overview
The Fujifilm XF 16-55mm ƒ/2.8 R LM WR Photography Lens with Fujifilm X-Mount is an all-in-one 16-55mm zoom covering APS-C sensors. A single range from wide through telephoto covers most of a day's shooting without a lens change, which travel and event photographers depend on. A fast ƒ/2.8 maximum aperture separates subject from background and keeps shutter speeds up as the light falls, closing to ƒ/22. Autofocus lets the camera's own subject detection drive the lens, which is what makes it usable for tracking moving subjects and for video. It mounts via Fujifilm X-Mount. Closest focus is 2 ft, for a maximum magnification of 1:6.2.
Features
Key Features
All-in-One APS-C Coverage
The lens covers APS-C sensors. A range spanning wide through telephoto covers a scene without a lens change, which travel and event work depend on.
ƒ/2.8 Maximum Aperture
A fast ƒ/2.8 aperture separates a subject from its background and holds shutter speed up in poor light, and the lens closes to ƒ/22.
Autofocus
The lens focuses under the camera's control, so hybrid shooters can use the body's own subject detection and tracking rather than pulling focus by hand — the difference between catching a moving subject and losing it.
1:6.2 Maximum Magnification
A maximum magnification of 1:6.2 sets how large a small subject renders on the sensor, with a closest focus of 2 ft.

Optical Design
16-55mm Zoom Range
The 16-55mm range covers a scene without a lens change, which travel, event and documentary work depend on.
9-Blade Diaphragm
9 blades hold the iris closer to a circle when stopped down, which keeps out-of-focus highlights round rather than polygonal — visible in portrait backgrounds and night work.
Mount & Build
Fujifilm X-Mount
The lens mounts via Fujifilm X-Mount, which sets the bodies it fits directly and those it reaches through an adapter.
Electronic Lens Communication
Contacts in the mount pass aperture, focus and focal length between lens and body, so exposure data is recorded to EXIF and in-camera corrections for distortion and vignetting apply automatically.
Weather-Sealed Construction
Seals at the mount and control rings resist dust and moisture, which matters for landscape and field sports work carried out in the open.
