Fujifilm XF 30mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro Lens in More Detail
Excellent macro capabilities
With an equivalent 35mm focal length of 46mm, the XF30mm F2.8 offers a new perspective for standard focal length X lenses. Unlike most alternatives in its class, this provides a minimum focusing distance is just 10cm from the sensor, with 1:1 macro magnification ratio. In addition to traditional uses, creators can enjoy tabletop photography, close-up commercial photography, microscopic wildlife and more.
Exceptional image quality
Following decades of optical refinement, Fuji’s XF30mm F2.8 resolves edge to edge sharpness at any focus distance. The optical design is made from 11 elements in nine groups, including three aspherical and two ED elements, which makes the ideal match for X Series’ latest high-resolution cameras, including the X-H2 and X-T5 (40.2MP). Spherical aberration and field curvature are effectively suppressed for advanced image-resolving performance, maximising image quality on every frame whether you’re capturing portraits, wedding photography or other genres where image quality is essential.
Refined handling
Nothing should detract from your creative process, which is why the Fujifilm XF 30mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro Lens is designed with enhanced usability. The aperture ring position can be locked, preventing accidental movement, while precise manual focusing optimises sharpness. When using autofocus this lens houses a linear motor inner focus system for pinpoint sharpness in as little as 0.02 secs.
Comprehensive weather sealing
The lens barrel in this latest macro lens is weather sealed in nine places, making it resistant to moisture, dust and temperatures down to -10°C. Mounted on a comparably weather resistant X Series body, the complete setup can go virtually anywhere you do to capture every moment whatever the weather does.
