XF 8-16mm F2.8 R LM WR overview
The Fujifilm XF 8-16mm F2.8 R LM WR is an 8–16mm f/2.8 zoom for APS-C cameras on Fujifilm X, announced by Fujifilm in July 2018. 27 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits landscapes and interiors. It is a weaker pick for close-ups.

Worth comparing it with the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary and Fujifilm XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS WR.
