Optically designed to draw out the maximum image qualityIn order to achieve the best-in-class image quality, the fast standard zoom lens with a constant aperture of F2.8 consists of 17 elements in 12 groups. This includes three aspherical lens elements to control spherical aberration and distortion, and three ED glass lens elements to reduce lateral chromatic aberration (wide-angle) and axial chromatic aberration (telephoto), thereby achieving edge-to-edge sharpness across the entire zoom range. Nine rounded aperture blades create a smooth, circular bokeh. The suppression of spherical aberration to the ultimate extent contributes to produce beautiful bokeh at both the front and back. |
Nano-GI (Gradient Index) Coating TechnologyApplying Fujifilm''s unique HT-EBC (High Transmittance Electron Beam Coating) to the entire area of the lens surface ensures ghosting and flare are controlled for sharp, clear images. Also, using the newly developed Nano-GI (Gradient Index) coating technology, which alters the refractive index between glass and air, ghosting and flare are effectively reduced for diagonal incident light. |
High-speed, quiet auto focus thanks to the Linear MotorBy reducing the weight of the focus lens and mounting the Twin Linear Motor, high-speed, quiet AF is possible. The fastest AF speed of 0.06 seconds brings comfort to your photo-shoot when by combining this lens with an X Series camera body* offering Phase Detection AF. Combined with the near-silent shutter sound, photos can be taken unnoticed in quiet locations. |
Weather resistant, dust-resistant and -10°C low-temperature operation
By applying seals to each portion of the barrel, the lens is weather-resistant, dust-resistant and -10°C low-temperature operation, making it the perfect companion for the FUJIFILM X-T1, which has the same levels of protection.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As a result, I've shot with a lot of gear. Olympus OM system. Canon EF. Nikon F-mount. Four Thirds. Micro Four Thirds. And of course Fuji X-mount. I've had occasion to own some very good wide aperture "standard zoom" lenses, from Olympus, Nikon, Canon, Sigma, and Fuji.
In terms of image quality and focus performance and accuracy, this is probably the best all-around lens I've ever owned. It is an impressive, impressive piece of equipment in every way. I'm currently using it with Fuji X-T2 bodies.
THE GOOD
- Amazing sharpness at every focal length all the way open
- Blink-of-eye focus lock apparently limited only by the body you shoot with
- Rugged all-metal build construction
- Actual, mechanical, notched aperture ring, not a fly-by-wire imitation
- Smooth-as-silk zoom and focus action
- Very sound weather sealing that I've had several occasions to depend on
It is pure, rock-solid competence in every way, utterly dependable and predictable in terms of durability, in terms of handling, and in terms of output. I wouldn't be without it.
THE BAD
- It is very long and heavy for a dedicated APS-C lens, essentially double the size of its other direct competitors
- The front element is huge
- All of this makes it vulnerable to damage but also requiring of very large filters and cases for protection
It would appear that the basic trade-off that enabled Fuji to come up with such a technically brilliant lens is that it's an APS-C lens that's the size of a full-frame f/2.8 zoom. Whether or not this works for you will depend on your own circumstances.
IN COMPARISON
vs. Olympus 12.40mm f/2.8 Pro: The Fuji 16-55mm has more pleasing and more effective DOF control/bokeh, even at what should be equivalently adjusted settings that compensate for the smaller sensor size of the MFT system. The Olympus 12-40mm f/2.8 lens is a fine lens that matches this one for build quality, sharpness, and focus speed, yet design compromises mean that it the Olympus 12-40mm is lacking in the DOF control department in comparison to the Fuji 16-55mm, or even in comparison to Olympus non-pro offerings like the 14-54mm zoom.
vs. Canon L and Nikon f/2.8 pro standard zooms: I only ever used the versions of these lenses that predate the advent of "designed during the APS-C era" equipment, but nonetheless, the Fuji 16-55mm is far sharper across the frame—especially at corners—and far less prone to distortion and chromatic aberration than either Canon or Nikon versions of an f/2.8 standard zoom that I shout with during the '00s. It is also noticeably faster to focus. The Fuji 16-55mm is admittedly somewhat smaller than the Canon and Nikon f/2.8 offerings for full-frame, but if you sit it down next to these on the one side and an Olympus 12-40mm or Sigma 18-50mm on the other side, the Fuji is clearly closer in size to the former (full-frame f/2.8 zooms) than the latter (other mirrorless or DX f/2.8 zooms). It really can't claim to have a tremendous size advantage vs. full-frame fixed-aperture zooms. You're not going to go Fuji XF with this lens for the weight savings.
vs. Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX: Immensely better build quality, with better sharpness both at edge and center—as well as immensely faster focus. Don't get me wrong, the Sigma is in an entirely different price class and about half the size, an amazing lens in its own right for the cost, but when the output and build quality of the two is compared, the Fuji 16-55mm simply destroys the Sigma. It's like comparing a Honda Accord, which is a fine car in its own right, to a Tesla Roadster.
If you can put up with the size and cost and have a body like the X-T2 that can take advantage of what this lens is able to offer, you'll find that this lens is really at the top of what photography currently has (or probably ever will have) to offer. It's really just a fully achieved product in every way. Hats off to Fuji for making a lens with few obvious compromises, and none in the image quality department.
Pros
- Constant 2.8 aperture and this lens maintains good sharpness at 2.8 through the entire zoom range
- Excellent sharpness all the way out to f8 and still very usable all the way to f16
- The lens has markings for those common focal lengths so it’s quick to switch
- Amazing build quality and feel
- Dedicated aperture ring
- OUTSTANDING Image quality
- Weather resistant
- Fast autofocus
Cons
- it’s pretty heavy
- No image stabilization built in, combined with the weight this can be an issue unless you have a Fiji body with IBIS, it’s not an issue on my X-T5
- Focus by wire isn’t for everyone
- It’s not well suited for macro work
It is a little bit on the heavy side and definitely it would be better if it has optical image stabilizer. However, because it is not very long, the balance on the X-T1 is fine.
The lens focus fast both in bright light and in dim light. It focus quietly; there is just a little noise.
Its minimum focus distance is about 1 foot (30 cm) from the sensor plane. This is very good. I'm very impressed. Perfect for things like flowers, etc.
For subjects not too far (flowers, leaves, people portraits, etc.), the lens is very sharp. Color and contrast are very similar to other Fuji prime lenses. I am very impressed. For this kind of photos, this lens beats the 18-55 by a wide margin. 18-55 is a good lens. This lens is a VERY good one. It is not as GREAT as the Fuji primes (I have 35 mm f1.4, 56 mm f1.2, and 16 mm f1.4). The photos are sharp, great color and contrast, but it seems to feel "a little forced"; it lacks subtle, sublime, or something like that.
For landscape and subjects that are near and far, the lens does a good job. The color and contrast is there. Sharpness seems to be fine.
Compare to 18-55, this lens much sharper at wide aperture. It has better color and contrast. The weight is not too much an issue. Thus, the only two negatives are 1) no stabilizer and 2) price.

In Sachenbildqualität ist das 16-55 auf dem Niveau von Fuji Festbrennweiten.
"Nachteile" für Systemkameraverhältnisse sind recht großen Abmaße und das Gewicht. Aufgrund der Lichtstärke nehm ich dies aber gerne in Kauf. Wenn man von VF-DSLR kommt ist es dennoch alles um einiges leichter :)
