The new FUJINON XF16mm F1.4 R WR by FUJIFILM is a bright and weather-protected wide-angle lens for the X-series mirror-less system cameras. The XF's new fixed focal length lens series has a focal length of 16mm (24mm equivalent to KB). The high light intensity of F1.4 provides for an excellent picture quality even under difficult lighting conditions and for macro recordings with a great bokeh. The minimum exposure time is 15 centimeters. The FUJINON XF16mm also possesses a very fast auto-focus, a weather and dust-protected casing, which can be used at temperatures up to minus 10 degrees, and convinces through its compact dimensions and the low weight. Fujifilm now offers a total of five very bright fixed focal lengths. The FUJINON XF16mm is the latest addition to the popular lenses XF23mm F1.4 R, XF35mm F1.4 R, XF56mm F1.2 R and XF56mm F1.2 R APD. Excellent picture qualityThe FUJINON XF16mm consists of 13 elements in 11 groups. This includes two aspherical lenses and two ED lenses that reduce spherical and chromatic aberrations. The special HT-EBC coating developed by FUJINON and the nano-GI coating also minimize surface reflections.Minimum recording distance of 15 centimetersIf you can get close to a subject, you will get a better bokeh and the perspective will be more dynamic. This allows the wide-angle photographer even more creative freedom. High image quality over the entire focus range is achieved with the XF16mm by correcting various aberrations, even at the minimum shooting distance of 15 centimeters, and by using a floating focus system of two focus groups that work together depending on the shooting distance.Fast autofocusA rear focus system is used for fast autofocus. A high-torque, non-core DC motor drives the AF unit and allows an auto-focus speed of just 0.11 seconds. This makes the XF16mm an ideal lens for street photography. Focus ring with distance and depth of field scaleThe focus ring is equipped with a distance and depth of field scale, which enables pre-focusing, for example – perfect for street photography.Weather- and dust-protected as well as cold-resistantThe FUJINON XF16mm is sealed in 9 places. This protects the lens against both spray water and dust. In addition, the electronic components used are optimized for operation at low temperatures of up to minus 10 degrees.Simple and compactWeighing 375 grams, the FUJINON XF16mm is about 40 percent lighter than a comparable DSLR lens. This gives photographers a versatile lens that offers excellent picture quality in a compact size.This text is machine translated.... More
