On May 16, at today's Fujifilm press conference, Fujifilm launched the FUJINON XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR APSC lens, priced at $699.95 (approximately 5054 Chinese yuan). Starting today, it can be pre-ordered overseas and will be shipped on June 17.
According to the introduction, this lens has an equivalent full-frame focal length of 24-76mm, claiming to be very suitable for regular photographers to capture various subjects, and the official MTF chart has not been released yet.
In addition, this lens uses an internal focusing mechanism, claiming to create a compact on-the-go photography collection when combined with cameras like the X-T50; the lens uses three extra-low dispersion and three aspherical lens elements to reduce chromatic aberration, create clearer images, and reduce weight. Furthermore, this lens has dust and water resistance, increasing durability when shooting outdoors.
