In order to provide an ultra-wide angle zoom of 8-16mm (equivalent to 12-24mm in 35mm format) at a constant maximum aperture of F2.8, the Fujifilm XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR Lens uses an impressive 20 elements in 13 groups. This includes four aspherical lens elements to control distortion and spherical aberration, and six ED lens elements including three super ED elements to control lateral chromatic aberration. This design results in advanced image-resolving performance across the zoom range while maintaining a constant maximum aperture of F2.8.
Features
- A bright maximum aperture of f/2.8 provides exceptional depth of field control and excellent performance in low-light scenarios.
- Four aspherical lenses, three ED lenses and three super ED lenses minimise distortion and chromatic and spherical aberrations. Nano-GI coating on the front elements reduce ghosting and flare.
- The field curvature correction lens corrects the field curvature commonly found in ultra-wide-angle lenses.
- A linear autofocus motor provides reliable focusing quickly and quietly.
