Lens OverviewFujifilm 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR

The FUJINON XF16-50mm F2.8-4.8 R LM WR is a zoom lens built for Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless cameras, covering an APS-C sensor format. With a focal length range spanning 16mm to 50mm, it offers genuine versatility across wide-angle and standard perspectives — useful for landscapes, street photography, environmental portraits, and everyday shooting situations. The variable maximum aperture opens to f/2.8 at the wide end, giving photographers a meaningful light-gathering advantage when shooting at 16mm, while the aperture shifts to f/4.8 at the 50mm end.

Autofocus is supported alongside manual focus operation, giving shooters the flexibility to switch between modes as the situation demands. The lens accepts 62mm filters, which is a practical, widely available thread size. Tipping the scales at just 310g, the XF16-50mm is a notably lightweight option for an APS-C zoom of this range, which should appeal to photographers who prioritize portability without wanting to sacrifice focal length versatility.

It is exclusively compatible with the Fujifilm X-mount system and is designed for mirrorless camera bodies. No image stabilization is present in this lens, so shooters relying on stabilization will need to depend on in-body systems if available on their chosen camera body.
