Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8 MKII to Weight 410 Gram Says Report Based on Fujifilm Marketing Material

The upcoming Fujinon XF16-55mm f/2.8 MKII will weigh 410 gram according to a report shared at the Chinese platform Weibo by the account 独立摄影师联合会 here.

If true, this would mean it weights 37,4% less than the original Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8.

Can this be true?

Well, the guy behind the Chinese account said he saw the marketing material of the lens.

He has been accurate in the past with rumors and has great connection to brands (maybe also to Fujifilm) and so I tend to believe that the information is accurate.
