FUJIFILM XF 30 mm Macro Lens
The XF30mmF2.8 R LM WR Macro is a standard prime lens with the focal length of 30mm (equivalent to 46mm in the 35mm film format). Compared to conventional standard lenses, this product has a substantially reduced minimum working distance and greatly improved close-up performance, capable of at a 1:1 magnification ratio. Despite being a highly versatile standard lens, it has virtually no constraint in terms of working distance from subject matter. The ability to shoot dynamic true 1:1 macro photography means users can enjoy getting up close to a subject in limited spaces, as well as a wide range of categories including portraiture and snapshots that take advantage of natural perspectives. The lens' compact design makes it possible to take maximum advantage of X Series' portability, offering unconstrained photographic expenences.
The 30mmF2.8 R LM WR Macro, which consists of 11 elements in nine groups including three aspherical elements and two ED elements, is a standard prime lens capable of 1:1 magnification macro photography at the minimum shooting distance of just 1 Ocm., despite its compact design. Due to the X Series' use of APS-C image sensor, a subject is photographed 1.5 times larger than its full-frame equivalent. The lens also uses the Inner Focus system, in which a linear motor drives the focusing group of elements, to deliver fast and highly accurate AF. The focusing operation is quiet and smooth even for close-ups, which involves large movement of focusing elements. Furthermore, the compact design, weighing just 195g, enables advanced versatility and mobility, required as a standard lens with applications in diverse situations.
Enabling macro photography to expand the standard lens' scope of applications
- The lens' design, consists of 11 elements in nine groups including three aspherical elements and two ED elements that control various forms of aberration including chromatic aberration, spherical aberration and field curvature to deliver advanced image-resolving performance. The standard 30mm focal length (equivalent to 46mm in the 35mm film format), which is close to the field of view for humans, makes it an ideal choice for portraiture and snapshots in natural perspectives.
- The minimum working distance of 10cm and the macimum magnification ratio of 1:1 (equivalent to 1.5x in the 35mm film format) means users are liberated from distance constraints of the subject matter. Enjoy photographic expressions such as close-up snapshots, and tabletop photography taken in limited space.
Use of a Linear Motor and a compact lightweight desgin to achive fast and accurate autofocus
- The lens ises the Inner Focus system, in which a compat and lightweight focusing lens group is driven by a linear motor to attain accurate focus in as fast as 0.02 seconds. The Inner Focus system generally involves a large number of elements. The 69.5mm, thanks to the optimised placement and shape of aspherical elements. The system ensures that the standard lens captures a decisive photo moment in a variety of situations. The linear motor's advanced resolution capability ensures focusing accuracy even in macro photography with a very shallow depth of field.
- The optimisation of optical desing and production processes has reduced barrel parts in the lens mechanism to successfully achieve a compact form factor. Metal is used for parts that come in contact with a user during lens operation to add a touch of elegance, while other components have been reviewed thoroughly to reduce weight. The result is a compact and lightweight lens weighting 195g and measuring 69.5mm in length with the filter thread size of 43mm. It can be left attached to a camera as a standard walkaround lens as it causes minimum strain to users, making their photographic experience more comforatable than ever before.
Dust and weather resistant structure capable of operating at low temperatures for advanced practical usability
- The lens barrel is weather-sealed in nine places so that it is dust and weather resistant and can be used in temperatures as low as -10 degrees. This lens can be kept mounted on a camera as a standard lens with peace of mind, allowing users to continue shooting even in outdoors in light rain or dusty environments.
