Fujifilm XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens in More Detail
Incredible image quality
The XF18mmF1.4 employs three aspherical lenses and one ED lens amongst 15 elements in total. These are divided into nine groups to minimise chromatic and Coma aberration. The results are superb with even the finest details being reproduced with high levels of sharpness.
Six elements moves in unison in the focusing group which reduces focus aberration. This results in consistent sharpness at any position on the lens from edge to edge.
A 9 rounded diaphragm results in smooth, soft out of focus areas when this look is required.
Extremely versatile prime
Many subjects including general purpose shooting benefit from the 27mm equivalent focal width this lens provides. Close-focus down to 20cm also opens up endless compositional possibilities for photographers.
Fast, Quiet Autofocus With MF control
The internal AF system will latch onto subject in a split second, as fast as 0.04 seconds under the right conditions. Even if the floating group has to travel through the entire frame front to back subjects will be acquired within 0.25 seconds. So it is fast, really fast. For those who focus manually or simply tweak their focus a smooth ring has been developed which provides excellent feedback as well as being extremely responsive to even the smallest movements.
High build quality with weather sealing
The XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens may be compact and lightweight but it still features Fujinon’s high quality metal design. This was developed to offer lightweight useability without compromising on durability. The lens is also comprehensively weather sealed to allow photographers to shoot outdoors in any weather down to -10c. The aperture ring is also lockable to prevent accidental changes to this vital setting.
