Key Features of the Fujifilm - XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens

• Standard wide-angle lens with fast aperture suitable for landscape, cityscapes, portrait and wedding photography
• Incredibly compact and lightweight at 370g
• Fast, accurate and near-silent AF down to 20cm in as quickly as 0.04 seconds
• Exceptional optical performance at f/1.4 delivering a high level of detail and consistent sharpness complemented by beautiful bokeh
• New aperture ring with an ‘A’ position lock to ensure you’re ready to frame that moment
• Dust, moisture and weather resistance down to -10°C to keep you going when others are forced to go home

The lens’ wide f/1.4 aperture offers the ability to shoot in dimly lit environments and also produces incredibly smooth bokeh.

Exceptional optical performance, even at f/1.4

The XF 18mm f/1.4 utilises three aspherical lenses and one ED lens among its 15 lens elements, spread across 9 groups, to minimise the chromatic and comatic aberration. This means the finest details of an image will be reproduced with high levels of detail and sharpness.

To deliver consistent sharpness the focus group, made up of six lens elements, move in unison to reduce aberration fluctuations that can occur when focusing.

The XF 18mm f/1.4 has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 27mm and can achieve Minimum Focus Distance on subjects as close as 11cm from the front element of the lens (MOD 20cm). This gives it a broad range of applications from being used to capture images of everyday moments to sweeping landscapes.

Fast, accurate, and near-silent autofocus

The XF 18mm f/1.4 uses an internal autofocus (AF) system, driven by a powerful linear motor, to provide fast, accurate, and near-silent AF. From the lens’ minimum object distance (MOD) of 20cm the focusing group of lens elements moves 2.5mm. This means focus can be achieved in as quickly as 0.04 seconds.

• Focus can be achieved from MOD to infinity in as quickly as 0.25 seconds.
• All components in the manual focusing ring have been designed to deliver precise control when manual focus is in use.

Compact, lightweight and weather-resistant

The XF18mm f/1.4 has a 62mm filter thread that measures 7.56cm in length and weighs just 370g. This makes it incredibly lightweight and portable. While the lens barrel is made from metal, it is designed to weigh as little as possible without compromising its overall strength.

• 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.
• The new aperture ring design with an ‘A’ position lock prevents accidental movement of the aperture ring from the Automatic setting.
