Fujifilm XF 16-80mm f/4 R OIS WR Lens Summary

The headline with this compact zoom lens is the amazing 6.0-stops of image stabilisation Fujifilm has engineered. This makes the XF 16-80mm f/4 R OIS WR Lens on the most hand-holdable options in the entire X-mount range of lenses even with poor lighting.

This compact zoom is also lightweight at 440g and compact measuring just 88.9mm. The XF 16-80mm f/4 also boasts a range of focal lengths from wide angle to mid telephoto, with a constant f/4 aperture making it the ideal lens to travel with as an all-in-one.

It has a maximum aperture value of F4 throughout the focal length of 16-80mm (equivalent to 24-122mm in the 35mm film format). This lens has a minimum shooting distance of 35 cm over the entire zoom range, which gives a maximum shooting magnification of 0.25x. The compact and lightweight lens weighs only 440g which is approximately 40% lighter than an equivalent lens for a 35mm format system

The XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR is a 5x standard zoom lens that consists of 16 lens elements in 12 groups. This includes three aspherical lens elements, and one ED aspherical lens to effectively control field curvature and spherical aberrations giving advanced levels of sharpness across the frame. Its inner focus AF system uses a stepping motor to drive the focusing group of lens elements quietly and quickly. The powerful OIS has an effective correction of 6.0 stops which widens the shooting scenarios the lens can be used.

The design of the lens which features metal aspects on the exterior, showcases the premium quality and durability of the product. The zoom, aperture and focus rings have been designed for optimum handling and user comfort. The lens is also dust and weather resistant, and operates at temperatures as low as -10°C.

(1) Advanced image quality

• The lens consists of 16 elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical lens elements and one ED aspherical lens. The aspherical lens elements are controlled at high precision to reduce field curvature and spherical aberration, resulting in an advanced level of image sharpness across the frame.

By using an ED aspherical lens as an OIS lens, aberration fluctuation due to image stabilisation is suppressed.
In addition, this lens has a minimum focusing distance of 35 cm close-up photography over the entire zoom range. The lens has very little breathing making it suitable for movie shooting.

(2) Compact, lightweight and stylish design for superior operability

• The compact 5x zoom lens weighs just 440g for excellent portability. In addition, the total length is the compact size of 88.9 mm. Approximately 40% lighter than a full size 5x zoom lens.
• Metal aspects of the exterior achieve a stylish look that gives additional quality and durability.
• The zoom, aperture and focus rings have just the right amount of torque for better handling.

(3) Powerful OIS

  It has the strongest OIS performance equivalent to 6.0 CIPA-guideline standard. The camera automatically detects when it is fixed to a tripod or when panning, and adjusts accordingly

(4) Fast and silent autofocus

• The lens uses the internal focus AF system that drives smaller and lighter focusing elements. It uses a stepping motor, known for its quiet operation and accuracy, to achieve fast and silent autofocus.

(5) Advanced construction

• The lens barrel is sealed at 10 locations making the lens dust and weather resistant and capable of operating at temperatures as low as -10°C.

Mounting it on weather sealed mirrorless digital cameras such as X-Pro3, X-T4, X-T3 or earlier models allows you to shoot in light rain or a dusty environment outdoors with peace of mind.
