Fujinon XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR

16–80mm f/4

Short answer

The Fujinon XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR is a superzoom zoom for the Fujifilm X mount. It covers 16–80 mm, which frames like 24–120mm on a 35mm camera, and opens to f/4. Autofocus is built in.

It has optical stabilization, weather sealing, and an aperture ring. The optics are 16 elements in 12 groups. The aperture has 9 blades and stops down to f/22. It focuses as close as 0.35 m, for a maximum magnification of 0.25×. Filters thread on at 72 mm.

It weighs 440 g and measures ⌀78.3 × 88.9 mm. That makes it the lightest superzoom lens for the X mount in the catalog.

It mounts on all 34 X mount cameras in the catalog, among them the X-T5, X-T50, X-E5, X-M5, and X-T30 III. Fixed-lens models such as the X100 series are out by definition.

The same category holds 3 other X mount lenses. Among them, the fastest is the Fujinon XF18-135mmF3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR at f/3.5–5.6.
