Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 Discontinued at Some Stores
It’s happening: one of the most popular Fujinon XF lenses of all time is about to retire.
In fact, the Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR starts to be marked as discontinued at stores in Japan as reported by the Japanese website asobinet.
This is inevitable since now we got the Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR II, which is smaller, lighter and optically even a bit better. And it costs the same as the older version.
You can still find the XF16-55mmF2.8 MKI in stock in USA, Canada and Europe, but I guess these will be the last samples available and honestly quite hard to sell for Fujifilm if they do not decide to offer it with a substantial price drop.
