Fujifilm XF 27mm f/2.8 R WR Lens
As the new letters in the lens’ model name indicate, the refreshed XF 27mm f/2.8 R WR lens is now weather-resistant and features a dedicated aperture ring (hence the “R” lettering designation). The compact XF 27mm F2.8 R WR introduces an aperture ring with an f stop scale so that users can check their aperture setting without looking at their camera’s screen. This aperture ring also features an Auto (A) Position Lock that locks the Fujinon XF 27mm f/2.8 R WR in its position. A weather-resistant design means you can operate the lens in temperatures down to -10C and it’s protected against water and dust.
