Great Results Don’t Wait

Compact, Lightweight, and Weather-Resistant: The most dramatic moments often come in adverse weather conditions. That’s why XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II lens is designed to be dust and moisture resistant when paired with a weather-resistant X Series body, ideal for those who want to work anywhere in almost any conditions. Keep creating without worrying about water droplets, sand, dust, and low temperatures down to -10°C (14°F).


Minimal Size, Maximum Performance

Cutting-Edge Optical Tech in a Lens Just 95mm (3.74 inches) Long: Advances in lens manufacturing techniques have led to a major drop in XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II lens’s size and weight compared to its predecessor, XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR. Improved polishing and machining, plus advanced assembly techniques, mean the second generation lens is now 11mm shorter and approximately 37% lighter than its predecessor. The filter thread has also been decreased to 72mm, so the new lens uses the same filters as the original XF50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR.

Fast, Precise Autofocus

High-Speed, Near-Silent Autofocus with No Drop in Performance: Despite its compact size, XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II lens produces exceptional autofocus performance. This is thanks to a specially designed linear motor that enables fast and near-silent AF. The minimum focusing distance of 0.3m (11.8 inches) and maximum magnification of 0.21x provide impressive scope for close-up images.
