The Fujifilm XF 16mm F2.8 R WR is a compact and lightweight wide-angle prime for the company`s APS-C mirrorless bodies. The lens is equivalent to 24mm when mounted on an X-series camera, such as the new X-T30. It contains a total of 10 elements (two of which are aspherical) and nine rounded aperture blades.
The lens, which weighs just 155g/5.5oz, uses a stepping motor for `fast and quiet autofocus` and can focus as close as 17cm/6.7in. The lens is weather-sealed at nine points around the barrel and can function at temperatures as low as -10°C/+14°F.
The XF 16mm F2.8 R WR will be available in black in March, with the silver version to follow in May. The suggested retail price for both is $399.
