FUJIFILM XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR Lens

Fujifilm XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR Lens
Versatile Standard Zoom – 24-76mm Equivalent Reach, Internal Zoom Design, Linear Motor AF & Weather Sealing (Includes Caps & Hood)

The Fujifilm XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR is a compact, highly adaptable standard zoom lens engineered natively for APS-C-format Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless camera bodies. Delivering a versatile 24-76mm full-frame equivalent focal length, this travel-friendly lens is well-suited for a broad range of daily shooting scenarios, from wide landscapes and architecture to street photography and environmental portraits. Its bright f/2.8 starting aperture aids performance in dim lighting while producing pleasing background blur for detail shots.

Designed with an internal zooming mechanism, the physical length of the lens remains constant throughout the zoom range, making it exceptionally balanced and easy to handle on lightweight camera bodies. The optical construction features three Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) elements and three aspherical elements to control optical aberrations and maintain high image sharpness while keeping weight to a minimum. Outfitted with a rapid, near-silent Linear Motor (LM) autofocus system, weather-sealed construction, and a rounded 9-blade diaphragm, this lens provides a durable and responsive walkaround solution.

This lens comes complete with front and rear lens caps and the original dedicated lens hood.
