Fujifilm XF18mm F1.4 R LM WR Lens

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF18mm F1.4 R LM WR is a vesatile, compact and lightweight, weather resistant lens that is ideal for everything from landscapes, cityscapes, to portraits and weddings. The wide F1.4 aperture is great for low light photography and smooth bokeh in out-of-focus areas. This lens uses an internal autofocus to give you fast, accurate, and near-silent AF.

Exceptional optical performance
The XF18mm F1.4 utilizes three aspherical lenses and one ED lens among its 15 lens elements, spread across 9 groups, to minimize chromatic and comatic aberration. This means the finest details of an image will be reproduced with high levels of detail and sharpness. The focusing group of six lens elements moves in unison to reduce aberration fluctuations, which can be caused by focusing, to deliver consistent sharpness at any focusing position on the lens.

Versatile design
The XF18mmF1.4 has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 27mm and can achieve focus on subjects 11cm (4.33in) away from the front lens element. This gives it a broad range of applications from being used to make images of everyday moments to using it to create sweeping landscapes.

Fast, accurate, and near-silent autofocus
The XF18mm F1.4 uses an internal autofocus (AF) system, driven by a powerful linear motor, to provide fast, accurate, and near-silent AF. From the lens’s minimum object distance (MOD) of 20cm (7.87in) to infinity, the focusing group of lens elements travels a total of just 2.5mm (0.1in). This means focus can be acquired in as quickly as 0.04 seconds. If the lens must travel from MOD to infinity to acquire focus, it can still be achieved in as quickly as 0.25 seconds. For precise control when manually focusing, components in the manual focusing ring assembly have been specially engineered to respond with precision, especially when the focusing ring is moved slightly.

Compact, lightweight and weather-resistant
The XF18mm F1.4 has a 62mm filter thread, measures 7.56cm (2.98in) in length, and weighs just 370g (0.81lb). This makes it incredibly lightweight and portable. While the lens barrel is made from metal, it is specially 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 (14°F). The XF18mm F1.4 has an A (Auto) Position Lock to lock the aperture ring into the A position, which prevents accidental movement.
