In addition, the optimal arrangement of ED and Super ED lenses minimizes chromatic aberration, which tends to occur with super-telephoto lenses, to achieve both high mobility and excellent resolution performance. Although super-telephoto lenses tend to have a heavy front lens element, the new lens with its optimum lens arrangement ensures a comfortable hold without feeling the weight of the front lens element. This allows users to enjoy comfortable, low-burden super-telephoto photography. The lens barrel is sealed in 20 places to make it dustproof, drip-proof, and resistant to temperatures as low as -10℃. In addition, the front element of the lens is coated with a fluorine coating to repel water and stains. The lens can be used safely for long hours of shooting in bad weather. (3) Powerful optical image stabilization performance of 5.5 stops The powerful 5.5-step optical image stabilization mechanism has been realized by improving the accuracy of camera shake sensing and optimizing the mechanism design. This allows users to comfortably enjoy hand-held photography in the super-telephoto range, where camera shake can easily affect the image quality. (4) Comfortable operability and fast, quiet, and highly accurate AF The use of an inner focus system reduces the size and weight of the focus lens. Furthermore, by driving the focus group with a high-speed linear motor, the camera achieves fast and silent AF with a minimum speed of approximately 0.33 seconds*4. Even when shooting in the super-telephoto range, where advanced focusing is required, the subject can be captured quickly and accurately, ensuring that the decisive moment is not missed. The Focus Preset function allows the focus to be instantly shifted to a pre-set position with the SET button. Since there is no need to refocus on the targeted subject, the operator's burden during shooting is reduced. Equipped with a focus limiter function*5 that limits the range of the lens drive when focusing, the lens drive time can be shortened when shooting subjects at a distance of five meters or more, enabling high-speed AF. The “Focus control button” is located at the tip of the lens barrel. The function assigned from AF-L/AF-ON/PRESET of the “Focus Selector” can be instantly recalled for smooth AF operation. *4 Internal measurement method based on CIPA guidelines.

The XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II is the successor to the large-aperture standard zoom lens “FUJINON Lens XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR” and the flagship model of the “XF lens” series. It is approximately 37% lighter than its predecessor. Despite its large aperture, the lens offers excellent mobility. The lens configuration has been optimized to further improve descriptive performance. In addition, the “Aperture Click Switch,” which allows the user to switch between a click and de-click when operating the aperture ring, has been adopted for the first time in “XF lens”. With the de-click setting, the brightness changes smoothly, enabling more natural video capture.

It is suitable for a wide range of still image shooting genres, such as nature and landscape photography with its high descriptive performance, and portraiture with its smooth and beautiful bokeh. In addition, the lightweight design with a weight of approximately 410g and new functions to support movie shooting expand the range of visual expression with the “XF lens”. Product Features (1) Large-aperture standard zoom lens with high descriptive performance The entire zoom range from a wide-angle 16mm (equivalent to 24mm on a 35mm film format) to a medium telephoto 55mm (equivalent to 84mm on a 35mm film format) can be shot with a maximum aperture value of F2.8. The lens construction consists of 16 elements in 11 groups, including four aspherical lenses, one super ED lens, and three ED lenses. High resolution is maintained from the center to the periphery, and chromatic aberration is suppressed despite the large aperture of the lens. The evolution of the aspherical lens ultra-fine processing technology suppresses the occurrence of ring patterns compared to conventional models and expresses a smooth and beautiful bokeh effect. Minimum focusing distance of 0.3m across the entire zoom range. Maximum magnification of 0.21x enables close-up photography. The lens construction consists of 16 elements in 11 groups. ©Lili Liu Portrait photography with bokeh (2) Compact and lightweight design for mobility The latest lens processing technology has succeeded in making the component lenses thinner. Compared to conventional models, the overall lens length has been shortened by approximately 11mm, the volume has been downsized by approximately 37.8%, and the weight has been reduced by approximately 37.4% to around 410g. The lens barrel is sealed in 12 places to make it dust resistant, water resistant, and resistant to temperatures as low as -10℃. In addition, the fluorine coating on the front lens provides excellent water and dirt repellency. Combined with the FUJIFILM X-H2S or other digital cameras designed to be dust resistant, water resistant, and resistant to low temperatures, the lens can be used with confidence for long hours of shooting in bad weather conditions. (3) Conveniently designed for video recording When the “Aperture Click Switch”*1 is set to CLICK, the amount of aperture movement can be intuitively grasped, making it suitable for still image shooting. When the switch is set to OFF, the brightness changes when adjusting the aperture become smoother, allowing you to shoot videos comfortably. Suppresses angle-of-view variation (breathing) during focusing. *1 The “Aperture Click Switch” requires a firmware update of the camera body. The current FUJIFILM X-H2S, FUJIFILM X-H2, FUJIFILM X-T5, FUJIFILM X-S20, and FUJIFILM X-T50 models will be firmware-updated in the future. (4) High speed, quiet and highly accurate AF The use of an inner focus system reduces the size and weight of the focus lens. Furthermore, the focus lens group is driven by a high-speed linear motor to achieve a high-speed, high-precision AF of approximately 0.02 seconds*2, ensuring that the decisive moment is never missed. *2 Based on CIPA guidelines, internal measurement method.
