Fujifilm Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR lens

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR - Fujifilm's widest lens

The Fujifilm XC 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR expands Fuji's lens range to a total of 31 lenses, including the new Fujinon XF 200mm f/2 R LM OIS WR. The new rugged technology in the Fujifilm XC 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR makes it Fujinon's widest lens yet.

To maintain the same image quality and light output over the entire focal length, the lens has 20 elements in 13 groups. Six ED elements including 3 super ED elements and 2 aspherical elements have been used to correct chromatic aberrations and distortions. Also new are Nano-GI elements to keep reflections in check and a specially designed lens element that corrects for aberrations that easily occur with ultra-wide lenses. The lens has 11 rubber seals to protect against dust, dirt and grease and to withstand low temperatures. The focal length is equivalent to a 12-24mm lens in cinema size, and fits comfortably into the f/2.8 repertoire of X series lenses to form a trio of high quality zoom lenses covering focal lengths from 12mm to 213mm (cinema size).

Thanks to its stunning edge-to-edge sharpness and high light gathering power, this super wide angle is the perfect tool for landscapes, architecture and interiors, but is also great for low light and star photography. With this ultra-wide lens, you'll capture a landscape as a landscape. With autofocus behind a linear motor, there's plenty of power for fast, quiet and precise focusing. The lens is also weatherproof and can withstand temperatures of at least -10 degrees. Fuji's lens range is starting to reach proportions worth mentioning and with a few longer telephoto lenses and some special glasses if not included, is quite comprehensive. Unleash your inner hipster and get on the Fuji bandwagon! Fuji's colours are not only due to good colour science but also to excellent lenses like this one.
