Fujifilm Launches XF 30mm Macro

Fujifilm has launched the Fujinon XF30 mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro lens. This lens provide a compact lightweight design and outstanding image quality based on Fujifilm’s proprietary colour reproduction technology.

The XF30 mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro is a standard prime lens with the focal length of 30mm (equivalent to 46mm in the 35mm film format). Compared to conventional standard lenses, this product has a substantially reduced minimum working distance and greatlyimproved close-up performance, capable of macro photography at a 1:1 magnification ratio. With 1:1 macro, users can enjoy tabletop photography in limited space.

The XF30 mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro is constructed with 11 elements in nine groups including three aspherical and two ED elements. This helps control aberrations including chromatic aberration, spherical aberration and field curvature to deliver advanced performance. It provides 1:1 macro photography at a minimum shooting distance of 10 cm. The lens also uses the Inner Focus system with a linear motor to deliver fast and accurate AF. The focusing operation is quiet and smooth even for close-ups, which involves large movement of focusing elements.

The lens barrel is weather-sealed in nine places so that it is dust and weather resistant and can be used in temperatures as low as -10oC. Price and other details are awaited.
