A wide-angle zoom lens with a wide aperture, the FE 16-25mm F2.8 G maintains the F2.8 maximum aperture across the entire zoom range from 16 mm to 25 mm, while combining superior image quality with excellent portability thanks to its compact and lightweight design.
This new lens offers high-resolution performance and beautiful bokeh, as well as high-speed, high-sensitivity, silent, fast-tracking AF (autofocus) features. At an impressively light weight of 409 g, the FE 16-25mm F2.8 G is extremely portable, making it easy to enjoy everyday shots that emphasize the sense of perspective that can only be achieved with a wide-angle lens. The lens, which uses the same filter diameter, operability, and the same size and weight as the "FE 24-50mm F2.8 G" announced in February 2024, offers ease of use when shooting handheld or when combined with a gimbal. The FE 16-25mm F2.8 G expands creators' range of photo and video expression in a variety of scenes including astrophotography, landscapes, architecture, portraits, public snapshots and selfies.
