Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 II Official Teaser and Size Comparison with XF16-55mmF2.8
Fujifilm has published a teaser for the upcoming “lightest red badge lens” in the Fujinon lineup.
FujiRumors readers know already since July 2024 that this is the Fujinon XF16-55mmF2.8 MKII.
And actually you know even more than that, because:
- the new XF16-55 will be about 30% lighter and smaller
- it will be Fujifilm’s first lens with switch to toggle between click and clickless aperture
- it will have a 72 filter size
Now the teaser gives us some insights on its size, because it shows the shape of the original XF16-55mmF2.8 followed by the one of the new XF16-55mmF2.8.
Just keep in mind that these are only renderings. When I overlaid image of the original XF16-55mmF2.8 onto its own shape shown in the teaser, the sizes didn’t quite match up. The actual XF16-55mmF2.8 lens seems to be still slightly larger than what’s depicted in the teaser.
If that’s correct, then the new XF16-55mmF2.8 II should be even a tiny bit smaller compared to the original XF16-55mmF2.8 than what the teaser images would suggest.
