Featuring an internal zooming mechanism, the XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 maintains an overall compact build. When paired with a travel-friendly camera body, such as the X-T50, an optimal setup is created that you can take anywhere without fatigue. The optical design includes three extra-low dispersion and three aspherical elements to reduce aberrations, create sharper images, and allow for a lighter weight. Additionally, this lens is weather resistant, increasing its resilience while out in the field.

Driving lens focusing is a linear AF motor that ensures rapid and quiet performance with impressive tracking and subject detection, which benefits still shooting and video capturing alike.
