Fujifilm fans startled by new picture of XF 16-55 f/2,8 R

September 8, 2014 ohm

DPReview user, Robert Garcia NYC, posted the above photograph in this thread at the Fujifilm X System / SLR Talk forum. 

Reader reaction has been mixed. Readers disappointed by the lens quote its ostensible lack of OIS (optical image stabilisation), its size, and more. 

My thoughts go like this: what were you expecting? With the notable exception of the 18/2, current Fujifilm X lenses aren't small. They fall perfectly in line with APS-C lenses and FF equivalents. My hope is that Fujifilm install focus helicoids in their most expensive lenses, therefore enabling real-time manual focus override, and that that switch on the left, in the shadow of the man's palm, is for OIS.
