Fujifilm India has announced the launch of its ‘FUJINON Lens XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR’ in India. The new lens joins the lineup of interchangeable XF lenses designed for the X-Series of mirrorless digital cameras. Priced at Rs 89,999 (inclusive of all taxes), the XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR lens is now available at authorised retailers.
The XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR lens: A dust and weather-resistant design
According to the company, the lens barrel is weather-sealed at 13 locations to ensure dust- and weather resistance and has the ability to operate at temperatures down to 10 degrees Celsius below zero.
The lens weighs around 460g, measures 123.5mm in length and has a filter thread diameter of 72mm. Instead of the conventional cam barrel, in which the lens barrel rotates, this lens uses a smooth power zoom mechanism that drives the zoom lens group linearly with a stepping motor to achieve high-quality zooming with no optical axis shift across the entire zoom range from wide-angle to telephoto, claims Fujifilm.
The XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR lens: Focal lengths, aperture and more
The XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR covers focal lengths ranging from the wide-angle 18mm to telephoto 120mm (equivalent to 27mm – 183mm in the 35mm film format). As per the company, the 6.7x power zoom in a compact design provides a variety of shooting situations including landscape (wide angle) and portraiture (telephoto).
The new power zoom lens offers a constant maximum aperture of F4.0 across the entire range from wide-angle to telephoto, and a maximum magnification ratio of x0.2 to capture close-up shots, claims the company.
According to the company, the single lens accommodates a variety of photographic situations including wide-angle landscape photography, portraiture taken wide open at F4 at the telephoto end and close-up shots of flowers and other plants at the maximum magnification ratio of x0.2.
The lens consists of 15 lens elements in 12 groups including three aspherical elements and three ED elements, to effectively suppress spherical aberration, distortion, and chromatic aberration.
According to the company, the optimum positioning of the aspherical elements enables close-up photography at the maximum magnification ratio of x0.2 with the minimum working distance of just 46cm from the front-most lens element across the entire zoom range. In the telephoto range, which extends to the focal length of 120mm (equivalent to 183mm in the 35mm film format), the lens can go up close to a subject to fill the entire frame.
Diverse video-filming functions
The aperture drive control has been updated to successfully suppress exposure shift linked to aperture adjustments. When the level of luminosity changes, the aperture transitions smoothly so that users can comfortably film a scene with a rapid change of brightness, claims the company.
The lens features a zoom/focus control ring, which allows users to control zooming or focusing at a variable speed. During video filming, users can control the pace of zooming or focusing exactly as they intend to. The lens also comes with the zoom button, which can drive zooming at a constant pace.
When combined with the mirrorless digital camera ‘FUJIFILM X-H2S’ and optional accessory ‘FT-XH’, also announced today, this lens can be used to remotely film video. The lens and a camera used with it can be controlled online in a browser to enable multi-camera shooting with limited staff availability, says Fujifilm.
