Fuji new XF16-50mm lens revealed: F2.84.8aperture, internal zoom design
CTOnews.com news on December 2, Fuji is about to launch a new XF16-50mm f / 2.84.8 R LM WR lens. According to the latest news from Fujirumors, the lens will use an internal zoom design so that the lens will not protrude when zooming.
It is reported that Fuji will launch this XF16-50mm lens to replace the current XF18-55mm f / 2.84lens. Fuji's new XF16-50mm f / 2.84.8R LM WR uses a linear motor with an aperture ring, which adds weather protection compared to the XF18-55mm, but eliminates the OIS anti-shake.
Foreign media said that the "internal zoom" is more complex to design and manufacture, so the cost is higher, and the technology also brings higher tightness and balance.
At present, Fuji has not yet announced when to launch this lens. CTOnews.com noted that the current market price of Fuji's old XF18-55mm f / 2.84 lens is around 2599 yuan.
