The black XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR is a 24mm-equivalent wide-angle lens, well-suited to landscape, nature, and architectural shooting. Its f/2.8 maximum aperture balances size and speed and is suitable for working in available lighting conditions while also limiting the overall size and weight of the lens for everyday use. Complementing the optics is a stepping motor, along with an internal focusing design, which provides quick and especially quiet focusing performance. Additionally, the lens is weather-sealed to suit working in inclement conditions. Moderately bright f/2.8 maximum aperture suits working in available light conditions and also helps to maintain a compact form factor.
