Tamron 16–50mm f/2.8 A lens, Fujifilm X

The Tamron 16–50 mm F2.8 A is a standard zoom lens designed for the Fujifilm X mount for APS-C mirrorless cameras. The zoom range covers everything from wide-angle landscapes and architecture to street, travel and portrait photography, as well as close-ups. Take a look at our other For Tamron lenses.

Brightness across the entire zoom range

The fixed f/2.8 aperture remains the same at both 16 mm and 50 mm focal lengths. This means there is no need to adjust the exposure settings when zooming, and the wide aperture allows you to separate the subject from the background even at the telephoto end.

Focuses at close range and weighs just 305 g

At the wide-angle end, the lens focuses as close as 15 cm, and the maximum magnification is 1:4.5. Thanks to its light weight and 55 mm filter thread, the lens is easy to carry with you throughout a day’s shooting.
