Fujifilm XF 16mm f 1.4 R WR Lens Fast aperture wide-angle lens for landscapes, portraits, street & macro photography. Quick facts: Weather & dust-resistant with -10°C low-temperature operation F1.4 maximum aperture consists of 13 elements in 11 groups Nano GI coating technology for high image quality Macro photography with a minimum working distance of 15cm High-speed autofocus as fast as 0.11sec Focus ring with depth-of-field scale Overview: The lens has a fixed focal length of 16mm (24mm in 35mm format equivalent) & offers a dramatic wide field of view & stunning optical performance. The F1.4 maximum aperture delivers high image quality in low-light conditions & bokeh-rich macro photography with the minimum working distance of 15cm. Featuring high-speed autofocus, a weather- & dust-resistant structure that can work in temperatures as low as -10°C, & great portability thanks to its compact size, the shooting possibilities are further expanded. The FUJINON fast aperture lens quintet is now complete. The XF16mm F1.4 R WR is the latest addition to the popular XF23mm F1.4 R, XF35mm F1.4R, XF56mm F1.2 R, & XF56mm F1.2 R APD lens. 1 Main Features. 13 elements in 11 groups & Nano GI Coating for high image quality. The optical design
Includes:: two aspherical elements & two ED (extra low-dispersion) elements, which reduce spherical & chromatic aberrations to deliver sharp, rich image quality even at the widest aperture of F1.4. The image quality is further enhanced by Fujifilm’s proprietary HT-EBC coating applied to the all lens surfaces & Nano GI Coating on the rear surface of G1 lens. This alters the refractive index between glass & air, to reduce ghosting & flare from diagonal incident light. 2 Minimum working distance of 15cm. By getting closer to a subject the bokeh is enhanced & perspective is more dynamic, which gives the wide-angle photographer greater creativity. Use the XF16mm F1.4 R WR to photograph a plate of food with the restaurant in the background, for example, or a water droplet on a plant with forest in the background & both the subject & its surroundings can be captured at the same time. High image quality is achieved throughout the focus range by correcting various aberrations, even at minimum working distance of 15cm, & a Floating Focus System driven by two focus groups that work in conjunction with each other according to the working distance. 3 High-speed autofocus as fast as 0.11sec 1. A Rear Focusing System is used for high-speed autofocus. Autofocus, as fast as 0.11sec is achieved by a built-in high-torque DC coreless motor driving the focus unit. This makes the lens ideal for street shooting & portraiture. *1 Complies with CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) guidelines, internal measurement, during high performance mode, according to Fujifilm as of 16th April 2015. 4 Focus ring with depth-of-field scale. The focus ring comes with a depth-of-field scale, which is perfect for street photographers. By calculating the distance & adjusting the aperture setting, users can shoot spontaneously. 5 Weather, Dust, & Freeze Resistance. The weather-resistant structure features 9 seals in 8 areas on the lens barrel. These keep the lens protected from sudden rain, dust & splashes of water. & the XF16mm F1.4 R WR features a design that absorbs the temperature difference between the outer & inner parts of the lens to minimise the impact on optical parts & also uses electronic parts that guarantee operation in low temperatures down to -10?. 6 Lightweight & compact. At approx. 375g the lens is around 40% of the weight of its DSLR equivalent. This is great news for all photographers who want a versatile lens that delivers the highest optical performance in a very compact size.
