Fujifilm Expands X-series Lens Lineup

Fujifilm has announced the launch of the Fujinon XF 18 mm f/1.4 R LM WR lens. This is the 39th addition in the broad line-up of interchangeable lenses designed exclusively for the X-series mirrorless digital cameras.

The XF 18 mm f/1.4 is a large-diameter prime lens with a wide-angle focal length of 18 mm (equivalent to 27 mm in the 35 mm film format). The lens is endowed with a filter size of 62 mm and a minimum focussing distance of 20 cm. It weighs 370 g and measures 7.56 cm in length.

The lens utilises three aspherical lenses and one ED lens among its 15 lens elements, spread across 9 groups, to minimise chromatic and comatic aberration. It uses an internal autofocus (AF) system, driven by a powerful linear motor, to provide fast, accurate and near-silent AF. From the lens’s minimum object distance (MOD) of 20 cm to infinity, the focussing group of lens elements travels a total of just 2.5 mm.

The lens has weather-resistant seals at eight locations along the lens barrel, making it resistant to dust, moisture, and temperatures as low as -10°C. It has an A (Auto) Position Lock to lock the aperture ring into the A position, which prevents accidental movement.

The Fujinon XF 18 mm f/1.4 R LM WR lens is now available across India at a price of INR 91,999.
