An ultra-wide zoom characterized by a bright and advanced optical design, the XF 8-16mm f2.8 R LM WR from FUJIFILM is a 12-24mm-equivalent lens featuring a constant f2.8 maximum aperture for consistent performance throughout the zoom range. The optical layout comprises six extra-low dispersion elements, including three Super ED elements, which help to virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for greater clarity and colour accuracy.
Four aspherical elements are also used to suppress distortion, curvature of field, and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness. Also, a Nano-GI coating helps to control ghosting and flare for enhanced contrast and colour fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions. Complementing the optics is a refined linear motor, which affords quick and quiet autofocus performance, and the lens body is weather-sealed in 11 distinct places to support working in trying environmental conditions.
The Fujifilm XF 8-16mm f2.8 R LM WR is a fast ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that has a constant maximum aperture of f2.8 and is equivalent to 12-24mm in the 35mm format. It complements the other constant f2.8 zoom lenses (XF16-55mm f2.8 R LM WR and XF50-140mm f2.8 R LM OIS WR) to create a premium trio of lenses that cover the focal lengths equivalent from 12mm all the way to 213mm in the 35mm format.
The lens' outstanding edge-to-edge image-resolving performance and f2.8 maximum aperture make this product a perfect choice for landscape and architecture photography with an emphasized sense of perspective, interior photography at restaurants and hotels, as well as nightscape and astrophotography.
Product Highlights
In order to provide an ultra-wide angle zoom of 8-16mm (equivalent to 12-24mm in 35mm format) at a constant maximum aperture of f2.8, this lens uses an impressive 20 elements in 13 groups. This includes four aspherical lens elements to control distortion and spherical aberration, and six ED lens elements including three super ED elements to control lateral chromatic aberration. This design results in advanced image-resolving performance across the zoom range while maintaining a constant maximum aperture of f2.8.
In order to correct field curvature, typically found with ultra-wide angle lenses, this lens features a correction element which adjusts according to the position of the zoom in order to achieve edge-to-edge sharpness.
The rear surface of the two front lens elements is treated with Nano-GI coating to eliminate ghosting and flare, caused by oblique light, creating clear images.
The lens uses linear motors for autofocus to achieve quiet and ultra-fast AF.
The barrel is sealed at 11 places to make the lens resistant to dust, moisture, and low temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius. The front lens element is coated with fluorine to repel water and dirt, adding extra durability so that the lens can be used outdoors with peace of mind.
