More details:  

• No compromise - This lens manages to strike the perfect balance of sharpness with smooth bokeh. It delivers true-to-life colors never seen before in a zoom lens. A professional, large-aperture zoom lens must produce stunning images and the Fuji lens uses a nine-blade diaphragm to help minimize spherical aberrations. The lens is made of 17 elements in 12 groups, which include three aspherical elements to reduce any distortion and spherical aberrations.
• Control the light - FUJIFILM's proprietary multilayer coating HT-EBC (High Transmittance Electron Beam Coating) is used to control ghosting and flares. Nano GI Coating is also used to reduce ghosting and flare from light coming at diagonal angles.
• Cover every angle - You would need to carry four XF prime lenses to replicate the focal range of this zoom lens. However, with the Fujifilm XF 16 55mm f 2.8 R LM WR lens, you get every mm in between 16mm and 55mm to fine-tune your composition even more. This convenience while maintaining amazing image quality gives you an extra advantage versus carrying four fixed focal length lenses.
• Capture every detail - The AF system is based on a high-speed linear motor that can focus as fast as 0.02 seconds^*1. It's impossible to know when something dramatic is going to happen but you want to be ready when it does. This Fuji 16 55mm f 2.8 lens reacts as quickly as you do when those precious moments occur.
• Ready for all environments - Any professional walk-around lens needs to be ready to go in all shooting conditions, especially adverse weather. The dust- and moisture-resistant construction of the Fujifilm 16 55mm lens allows you to immerse yourself in shooting, whatever the weather.^*2 
• Consistent Clarity: Maintain a steady f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range, perfect for low light and achieving that shallow depth of field.
• All-Weather Companion: With its weather-sealed construction, this lens stands up to dust and moisture, ensuring you're ready for any shooting environment.
• Swift & Silent Focus: Benefit from a twin linear motor autofocus system that's not only fast and accurate but also operates quietly.
