About this lens
The Fujifilm XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR is Fujifilm's flagship ultra-wide zoom for X-mount APS-C - 12-24mm full-frame equivalent, constant f/2.8, weather-sealed. The widest rectilinear zoom in the X-mount lineup. A direct competitor in spec to Canon's RF 15-35mm f/2.8L or Nikon's 14-24mm f/2.8S, sized for APS-C.

Works with
- Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless APS-C bodies (X-T5, X-T4, X-H2, X-H2S, X-S20, X-E4, X-Pro3, etc.)
- Not designed for Fujifilm GFX medium format (different mount)
Best for
A serious pro-grade ultra-wide zoom - 12mm equivalent on the wide end is dramatic, constant f/2.8 gives strong low-light and astro capability, and weather sealing pairs with X-T5/X-H2/X-H2S for outdoor work. Bulbous front element means no screw-in filters; specialist 100mm/150mm filter holders are the workaround.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use front filters with this lens?
No - the bulbous front element makes a screw-in filter impossible. Specialist 100mm/150mm filter holders with adapter rings for bulbous front elements are the workaround.
Is this lens weather-resistant?
Yes - sealed at 10 points and rated for -10°C operation.
Does this lens have image stabilisation?
No — this lens does not have image stabilisation.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
