XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR overview
The Fujifilm XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR is a 16–55mm f/2.8 zoom for APS-C cameras on Fujifilm X, announced by Fujifilm in January 2015. 27 cameras we track take it without an adapter. It has been followed by the Fujifilm XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR II; both are still sold.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits as well as landscapes and interiors.
No store we track in the United Kingdom has it new in stock today; used and refurbished copies start at £450.
Worth comparing it with the Tamron 16-50mm F2.8 A, Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary and Tamron 17-70mm F/2.8 Di III-A VC RXD.
