Never mind the state of the world or the Prime Minister. That can wait. There is a new Fujifilm X lens in the shop and you can try it out right now.
The new 16-55mm Fujinon XF has:
Constant f:2.8 aperture.
Aspherical elements.
Water-resistant gasket.
Superb X-lens construction - smooth focussing and zooming and solid build.
This is the perfect companion piece to the Fujifilm 50-140 f:2.8 WR lens.
You won't get it free in a cornflakes packet and they don't send 'em up with the rations, but the lens is a real gem in the Fujifilm lineup. Anyone using the X-Pro1, X-E2. or X-t1 for landscape, interiors, or portrait groups would be well-rewarded with a test run.
Come in now and see how good it is.
