The Fujinon X-mount lens line-up will have new additions in the near future. Fujifilm is rumored to be planning to announce the XF 8-16mm f/2.8 WR wide-angle zoom lens.
As we know that initial information about this lens began to leak at the beginning of 2016. Then the XF 8-16mm f/2.8 lens was not announced in the following period, including Photokina 2016.
It is thought that the Japanese-based company would like to complete the WR series prime trio. That’s why they have delayed this wide angle zoom lens.
Fujifilm XF 8-16mm F2.8 WR lens is on the horizon
As a result Fuji prioritized smaller WR lenses, such as the XF 35mm F2, XF 23mm F2 and the XF 50mm F2.
If we need to give some details about this wide-angle zoom optic. It will be designed for landscape, architecture, and interior photography. The maximum aperture will stand at f/2.8. The lens will provide a full-frame focal length equivalent of about 12-24mm. From the WR symbol we can also say that the product will be weathersealed. This means that it will be great in combination with the X-T1 or the X-T2 mirrorless cameras.
The rumor mill claims that once the Fujifilm completes the current roadmap with the release of the XF 80mm F2.8 1:1 Macro later this year, the next X-mount lens will be the Fujinon XF 8-16mm f/2.8 WR model. Stay tuned with us for more information.
