The XF 16mm f/2.8 has a silent inner focus system that uses a stepping motor to achieve these great results, and is also a great option for video. I’ve used this lens for a little street photography, portraits of my toddler, and candid shots of moving subjects while traveling, and have yet to be dissapointed. Still, the autofocusing on this lens is on par with the fantastic performance of my XF 35mm and XF 50mm. When shooting with a lens as wide as the XF 16mm f/2.8, speedy autofocus isn’t much of a priority. Just like my Fujifilm XF35mm f/2 and XF 50mm f2, the XF 16mm f/2.8 leaves very little to be desired, and gives me a lot of confidence that it will last a very long time. The Fujifilm XF 16mm f/2.8 has a metal bayonet that is just as solid and sturdy as the rest of the all metal lens. I tend to only keep it on when shooting in crowds or while hiking on narrow rocky trails. I’ve shot with this hood on sunny days outside, and find the lens performs just as well without it. This is similar to the mini lens hood that comes with the XF 35mm f/2, and nothing like the big lens hood found on the XF 50mm f/2. The lens hood for the XF 16mm f/2.8 is a tiny piece of plastic which doesn’t offer much coverage, but does provide a little protection.

I’m really looking forward to picking up an X-T4 for this reason. When paired with the IBIS of the new X-T4, the XF 16mm f/2.8 will gain 6.5 stops. The Fujifilm XF 16mm f/2.8 has no image stabilization and neither does my Fuji X-T3. The minimum focusing distance is around 6.7 inches or 17cm, which is really nice for getting shots of things close up.

The XF 16mm f/2.8 provides a 83.2° field of view, and a full frame equivalent 24mm focal length. This combination has proven to be very resistant to flares and ghosting when shooting in harsh light, and provides pretty decent bokeh for such a wide lens. The weather sealed metal body of the Fujifilm XF 16mm f/2.8 houses 10 optical elements in 8 groups, and has 9 rounded diaphragm blades.

This focal length makes for a lens that will be tested quite a bit outdoors, so it is nice to have the peace of mind knowing that it was designed for such pursuits. I have yet to have any issues with dirt or water getting into the lens or camera.įujifilm rates this lens down to 14☏ which is a great feature for travelers and outdoor enthusiast. I’ve used this lens in the rain and humidity of southeast Asia, the dusty deserts of Southern California, and the windy cold of high elevation mountain peaks. The weather resistance on the XF 16mm f/2.8 has proven to be very effective when paired with my weather resistant Fuji XT-3. This means it spends most of its life susceptible to variable weather while outside on dusty hiking trails and busy city streets. The Fujifilm XF 16mm f/2.8 is a lens I use primarily for hiking and travel. The aperture ring clicks nicely when adjusted, and alway stays put when coming in and out of the bag. The XF 16mm f/2.8 has a premium feel in the hand, and is built much better than the lens I used to have at this focal length on my Sony system, the Rokinon/Samyang 24mm f/2.8. Just like the XF 35mm f/2 and XF 50mm f/2, the XF 16mm f/2.8 is built like a little tank. The XF 16mm f/2.8 is my third Fuji WR lens, and rounds out a very serviceable trio alongside my XF 35mm f/2 and XF 50mm f/2.
