A Closer Look at Fuji’s New Weather-Resistant
XF 16-55mm f/2.8 Lens | Jaron Schneider

Last week at CES, Fuji announced the awaited weather-resistant 16-55mm f/2.8 zoom lens, which they have engineered to inhibit ghosting and flare from edge to edge to appeal to outdoor photographers who will have to battle different and ever-changing qualities of light and the placement of the sun. The XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR uses a light weight Internal Focusing System and a Twin Linear Motor for high-speed autofocus (AF) and whisper quiet AF as fast as 0.06 seconds. When combined with the near-silent shutter sound of the FUJIFILM X-T1, photos can be taken unnoticed in quiet and sensitive locations. The 16-55mm focal range is equivalent to a 24-84mm on a full frame sensor that offers 14 sealing points that makes the lens extremely resistant to water and especially dust. With that 24mm equivalent field of view at the widest, the lens should be pretty useful for outdoor photographers shooting landscapes, but equally useful for something like a portrait when fully extended to the 84mm equivalent……..
