This is SUCH a perfect day to day lens. I use my x-t5 for professional work, but wanted a smaller lens to be able to travel with and use for street photography. This is so sharp and clear, I love it.

I absolutely love this lens! 16 mm is a new focal length for me, and it's so fun to be able to carry this little thing around and explore all the creative possibilities. The weather resistance gives me good peace of mind, and I couldn't care less that the biggest aperture is "only" 2.8! That's worked plenty well for me, even in the lower light of an evening city walk. Don't hesitate to buy this lens!

Love this little lens. Solid build. Takes awesome photos and provides a really nice wide perspective that is usable as a daily. The perfect lens!

This lens is as good as my full frame 24 on the Canon. Plus, it's much smaller and lighter. Being a small lens on a smaller camera system also means smaller filters, so it fits in the bag and I barely notice its addition.

Compact but capable, ticked all the boxes, like most of the F2 lineup.

This lens results in beautiful, sharp photos, as is to be expected from this Fujifilm XF lens. I gave it four stars instead of five because the mounting an dismounting of the lens on my X-T30 body is much tighter than the other three Fujinon lenses I have. It actually takes a good amount of force to have the lens snap into place as well as when taking the lens off. I?ve gotten somewhat used to that but it?s still disconcerting compared with the easy and fluidity of the mounting of the other lenses I own.

This Lens has been great. While I am more of a 35mm and 50mm 135 equivalent focal length shooter, I have found that on trip to museum or just out and about in with family, it is a lot easier to go wider with this for environmental shots. In the world where everyone focus on bokeh and blurry background... I actually want to show where we have been and be able to see the background. This is a great companion with my XE4 as it is light and small and for my purpose, it focuses fast enough and sharp enough.

Did what I need it to do. There is less distortion than I expected which is a plus.

I really enjoy using this lens! The build is solid (all metal, no plastic) and I love having the aperture ring on the lens. And the image quality is sharp.

Fast to focus and looks great on the camera when I don’t want to be out with the big zoom lens.

Small and nimble, this lens is a great wide low light option . . . It goes where I go, it's perfect when you need that wide but quicker aperture.

I’m new to photography and this is my first Lens from Fujifilm and it’s great. It takes amazing pictures.

Great lens for the XT-3 and XT-4. I find myself shooting with this lens often as it does give you a nice soft look on scene shots. My only complaint is that I wish it was 2.0 vs 2.8.

pretty good lens, sharp and quick autofocus, in the downside f/2.8 it's not the fast aperture, sometimes you should up the ISO.

Great lens! Was debating between this and the 1.4 version, but glad I went with this. The size alone makes it worth losing a couple stops of light. Great lens for hiking and walking around. Plus, can't beat getting all the extras.

It’s sooo tiny. 16mm is a useful FOV when I go hiking or generally shooting around. I like shooting wide. This has quickly become the lens that lives on my camera. At closest focus, needs to be stopped down to f/4 to keep things sharp.

Light and compact. Blazing fast autofocus. Very sharp. Balances well on XH1 body. A blast for travel, street and daily carry.

Great lens at a really good price. Quick shipping and Adorama kept me updated on the shipping status. Why pay 3 times the price for the 16 1.4. Not me.

Awaited this lens with fear and doubts. Arrived on the first day after release, of course in excellent condition. Mounted it immediately and waited a chance to try it out. Feels great and looks great on my Xpro-2. Set it on A, took it out for a spin. Now realize, I was walking a strong 75lb pulling dog who demanded his walk space, it was an overcast day, wasn’t looking for 2.8 test, first day, had no problems. Next day better lighting conditions, I was really excited about the days walk and shoot. Had a great location to shoot, but really bad results.. Wasn’t until later I realized I had set the camera to manual and not adjusted for the conditions. My bad, can only await chances to use it under more challenging situations..

This is another fine offering from Fujifilm with the 24mm equivalent angle of view being a favorite for many applications. The build and features as well as the image quality "follows suit" with the fujifilm series of small f2 lenses. For the size and feature set there is nothing to complain about, especially if you don't need it to be tack sharp wide open. I did some comparisons with other Fujifilm lenses and for I.Q. comparisons, the 14mm f2.8 being the best most direct equivalent as far as...

Awsome lens
By Raul S.
Awsome lens. I use it for street photography and is on par with the other f2 small lenses. Stopped down is really sharp. At f2 a bit sofer but still great. Wonderful colors and contrast. It produces beautiful images. Small and portable.
The FUJINON XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR Lens, finished in a sleek black, is a prime example of Fujifilm's commitment to high-quality and durable camera equipment. Designed for the discerning photographer, this lens offers a 24mm equivalent angle of view in a 35mm format, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of photographic applications, from landscapes to street photography.
Crafted with precision, the XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR lens features an advanced optical design with 10 elements in 8 groups, including two aspherical elements. This meticulous construction minimizes spherical aberrations and field curvature, delivering sharp, high-resolution images across the entire frame.
The lens's compact and lightweight build, weighing just 5.47oz (155g) and measuring 1.79in (45.4mm) in length, makes it an ideal travel companion for photographers on the go. Despite its small stature, it does not sacrifice on build quality, boasting a robust metal exterior that complements the design of Fujifilm's other compact prime lenses, such as the XF 23mm F2 R WR, XF 35mm F2 R WR, and XF 50mm F2 R WR.
Autofocus is swift and silent thanks to an inner focusing system driven by a stepping motor, ensuring that photographers can capture fleeting moments without the distraction of noise. This feature is particularly beneficial for videographers and those shooting in quiet environments.
Durability is a cornerstone of this lens, with weather sealing at nine points to protect against the elements. It is capable of operating in temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C), making it a reliable choice for photographers who face challenging weather conditions.
Bokeh enthusiasts will appreciate the nine-blade rounded diaphragm, which produces a pleasing out-of-focus quality, adding an artistic touch to images with shallow depth of field.
For those looking to expand their creative toolkit, the lens accepts 49mm diameter filters and is compatible with a variety of accessories that enhance the photographic experience.
In summary, the FUJINON XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR Lens is a testament to Fujifilm's innovative and reliable craftsmanship. It is a high-quality, versatile, and durable choice for photographers who demand excellence in both performance and portability. Whether you're a professional or an enthusiast, this lens is poised to elevate your photography and help you capture the world with clarity and precision.
