The new XF16-80mm F4 R OIS W from Fujifilm has a maximum aperture value of F4 throughout the focal length of 16-80mm. This lens has a minimum shooting distance of 35cm over the entire zoom range, which gives a maximum
shooting magnification of 0.25x. The lens is compact and weighs just 440g, which is approximately
40% lighter than an equivalent lens for a 35mm format system.
When attached to a X-T3 the kit weighs only 979g, and 823g when combined with a X-T30, making
it the ultimate combination for travelling. This new standard zoom lens features 6.0 stops OIS,
meaning you can comfortably shoot in a wide variety of situations from a night scene to indoors
without worrying about camera shake.
The XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR is a 5x standard zoom lens that consists of 16 lens elements in 12 groups.
This includes three aspherical lens elements, and one ED aspherical lens to effectively control field
curvature and spherical aberrations, giving advanced levels of sharpness across the frame.
Its inner focus AF system2 uses a stepping motor3 to drive the focusing group of lens elements
quietly and quickly. The powerful OIS has an effective correction of 6.0 stops which widens the
shooting scenarios where the lens can be used.
The design of the lens which features metal aspects on the exterior, showcases the premium
quality and durability of the product. The zoom, aperture and focus rings have been designed for
optimum handling and user comfort. The lens is also dust and weather resistant, operating at
temperatures as low as -10°C.
Product features
● Advanced image quality
The lens consists of 16 elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical lens elements and one ED
aspherical lens. The aspherical lens elements are controlled at high precision to reduce field
curvature and spherical aberration, resulting in an advanced level of image sharpness across the
frame.
By using an ED aspherical lens as an OIS lens, aberration fluctuation due to image stabilisation is
suppressed. In addition, this lens has a minimum focusing distance of 35cm close-up photography
over the entire zoom range. The lens has very little breathing making it suitable for movie shooting.
● Compact, lightweight and stylish design for superior operability
The compact 5x zoom lens weighs just 440g for excellent portability. In addition, the total length is
the compact size of 88.9mm and it is approximately 40% lighter than a full size 5x zoom lens.
Metal aspects of the exterior achieve a stylish look that gives additional quality and durability. The
zoom, aperture plus focus rings have just the right amount of torque for better handling and
operability.
● Powerful OIS
It has the strongest OIS performance equivalent to 6.0 CIPA-guideline standard. The camera
automatically detects the lenses OIS when it is fixed to a tripod or when panning, and adjusts
accordingly.
● Fast and silent autofocus
The lens uses the internal focus AF system that drives smaller and lighter focusing elements. It uses
a stepping motor, known for its quiet operation and accuracy, to achieve fast and silent
autofocus.
● Advanced construction
The lens barrel is sealed at 10 locations making the lens dust and weather resistant and capable
of operating at temperatures as low as -10°C.
Mounting it on weather sealed mirrorless digital cameras such as X-Pro2, X-T3 and X-H1 allows you
to shoot in light rain or a dusty environment outdoors with peace of mind.
