Fujifilm XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR

Fujifilm's 12–24mm-equivalent f/2.8 ultra-wide: 805 g, sealed at eleven points and superbly corrected, aimed at landscape, architecture and astro shooters who want the widest professional view on X-mount. The bulbous front element rules out screw-in filters, so plan on a 150 mm holder system.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
