FUJIFILM XF 18mm f / 1.4 R LM WR lens

Continuing FUJIFILM's series of compact and portable primary lenses, the XF 18mm f / 1.4 R WR lens is a 27mm equivalent wide-angle lens that is well suited for documentaries, travel, landscapes, nature, architectural photography, and even astrophotography. . Its fast f / 1.4 maximum aperture balances size and speed and is suitable for working in available lighting conditions. It offers greater control over depth of field and provides a smooth bokeh effect at wider apertures, while limiting the size and overall weight of the lens for everyday use.
The optical design features three aspherical elements and one ED element to limit distortion and spherical aberration to produce optimal sharpness and accurate rendering. A Super EBC coating is also used to control flare and ghosting to improve contrast and color fidelity when working in bright and backlit conditions. Complementing the optics is a linear autofocus motor, coupled with an internal focusing design, providing fast and especially quiet focusing performance. The lens is weather sealed to suit on-site work in inclement conditions and features an aperture ring with an "A" position lock for use in automatic exposure control.
The Prime Wide Angle Lens is designed for APS-C format FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 27mm equivalent at 35mm focal length.
The bright maximum aperture of f / 1.4 accommodates working in available lighting conditions while maintaining a compact form factor.
The optical design contains 15 elements in 9 groups, including three aspherical elements and one ED element to limit distortion and spherical aberration for optimal sharpness and accurate rendering.
Optical elements feature Super EBC coating to reduce lens flare and ghosting to improve contrast and color fidelity.
The linear autofocus motor provides fast, responsive, near-silent autofocus down to a minimum object distance of just 7.9 "/ 20 cm in as little as 0.04 seconds. It also features an internal focus design and control soft manual focus.
The lens body incorporates weather sealing to protect against dust and moisture, and to allow worry-free use in inclement conditions and freezing temperatures as low as 14 ° F.
The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to pleasant bokeh quality.
