The two lenses which are seen on the latest XF lens roadmap is the XF 8-16mm f/2.8 WR and the XF 200mm f/2 R LM OIS WR lenses. Both Fuji glasses are expected to be announced for Photokina 2018 event in September. But recent gossips reveals that the wide-angle zoom will definitely be at the show. So XF 200mm is still unclear.

From the WR symbol we can also say that the product will be weathersealed. This means that it will be great in combination with the X-T1 or the X-T2 mirrorless cameras.

So as a wrap up, the new XF 8-16mm f/2.8 R LM WR lens announcement will happen for Photokina in September and release date – shipping scheduled for November. Stay tuned for more information.
