New FUJINON XF16mm F1.4 WR is a weather-resistant, fixed focal length lens (24mm in 35mm format equivalent) that delivers a dramatic wide field of view and stunning image performance. The F1.4 maximum aperture in the XF16mm gives users extraordinary image quality in low-light conditions, and pleasing bokeh-rich macro photography with a minimum working distance of less than 6” for numerous creative photographic possibilities.
The XF16mm F1.4 R WR features a high-speed autofocus of 0.11 seconds, a weather- and dust-resistant structure that can work in temperatures as low as 14°F, and great portability thanks to its compact size. The XF16mm F1.4 R WR includes a depth-of-field scale on the focus ring that is perfect for landscape, travel and street photographers who want to calculate the distance, adjust the aperture setting, and shoot spontaneously.
Perfect match for the FUJIFILM X-T1
The XF16mm F1.4 R WR pairs perfectly with the award-winning FUJIFILM X-T1, a weather-resistant premium interchangeable lens camera with a large OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF). It has the latest generation 16.3 Megapixel APS-C X-Trans CMOS II sensor and an EXR Processor II that allows photographers to capture amazing, high resolution images anywhere.

- FUJIFILM X-Mount is compatible with all FUJIFILM X-Series interchangeable system cameras
- Weather-resistant design with 9 sealing points in 8 areas

- Uses 13 elements in 11 groups, including 2 aspherical lens elements to control spherical aberration and distortion, and 2 ED glass lens elements to reduce lateral and axial chromatic aberration
- Nano-GI coating alters the refractive index between glass and air to reduce ghosting and flare

- 1/3 EV steps
- Minimum working distance of less than 6 inches
Samples
The Fujifilm XF 16mm F1.4 R WR lens is remarkably sharp in both the image centre and at the edges virtually throughout the entire aperture range. The fast maximum aperture of f/1.4 makes it incredibly easy to creatively throw the background out of focus, with the nine-blade iris diaphragm achieving some lovely bokeh effects. Vignetting is practically a non-issue, chromatic aberrations are noticeable only by their absence, and there is little barrel distortion worth mentioning.

This lens is certainly capable of delivering excellent quality images. When you consider the robust build, weather resistant construction and excellent handling of this lens, its price seems very reasonable indeed.

The Fujinon 16mm produces very sharp images, though its sharpest performance is only obtained when the lens is stopped down to ƒ/2.8.
The optical quality is very good, with consistent sharpness across the frame. The lens may peak in sharpness around f5.6, but performs very respectably even wide-open at f1.4 where there is only a minor increase in softness and vignetting. Anyone shooting outdoors in inclement conditions will also appreciate the weather-sealing, and I'm pleased to find it on an increasing number of new Fujinon lenses.
