Fujifilm's compact weather-resistant 24mm equiv prime — f/2.8 in a tiny WR package for X-mount.
The Fujifilm XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR launched in 2018 as a compact wide-angle prime for X-mount, providing 24mm equivalent at f/2.8. Weather-resistant and lightweight, it targets street and travel photographers who want a wide perspective in a minimal package.
Optically good — sharp from f/4 with decent performance at f/2.8. The compact size slightly compromises optical quality versus the larger XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR. Stepping motor AF is fast and quiet. Weather-resistant and freeze-proof construction.
Fujifilm X mount with 49mm filter thread. Weighs just 155g — near-pancake. Weather-resistant to -10°C. Minimum focus distance 17cm — excellent for environmental close-ups. Aperture ring with 1/3-stop clicks. Metal mount.
Available used at budget to mid-range prices. The XF 16mm f/1.4 R WR is sharper and faster but much larger and heavier. This is the compact option for those who want 24mm equiv in the smallest possible package. Outstanding paired with the X-E3 or X-E4 for street photography.
