Overview

The Fujifilm 16-55mm F2.8R LM WR II is a significantly lighter (410g) and sharper update to the original, with excellent weather sealing and a de-clickable aperture ring for video. Optical strengths include sharpness rivaling primes like the 33mm f/1.4, improved bokeh from 11 aperture blades, and better close-up performance. Weaknesses include slight vignetting at f/2.8 and a soft click on the aperture ring. It suits photographers needing a rugged, versatile zoom for travel or events, especially on 40MP bodies.
