FujiFilm XF18-120mm f/4 LM PZ WR Lens

The FujiFilm XF18-120mm f/4 LM PZ WR Lens is a Fujifilm X mount lens with an f/4 aperture, made for landscape and portrait use.

Key Features

• Hybrid lens with a fully electric drive control mechanism ideal for both stills and videos
• Capable of producing premium-quality movies
• Superior Mobility

FujiFilm XF18-120mm f/4 LM PZ WR lens covers focal lengths ranging from the wide-angle 18mm to telephoto 120mm (equivalent to 27mm - 183mm in the 35mm film format). The highly versatile 6.7x power zoom in a compact design facilitates a variety of shooting situations including landscapes (wide angle) and portraiture (telephoto).

Furthermore, the lens is capable of producing premium-quality movies thanks to the advanced video performance the company has nurtured over many years in the fields of broadcast and cine lenses. This lens caters to high-quality imagery for both stills and video, in a variety of situations.

The XF 18-120mm F4 LM PZ WR is a power zoom lens that 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-ups shots.

Broad Focal Range for Stills and Video

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 for excellent image resolving performance. Users can precisely capture fine details during information-heavy landscapes photography at wide-angle as well as in telephoto closeups of subjects such as in portraiture.

Optimum positioning of the lens suppresses focus breathing optically. Advanced technology, on which Fujinon cine lenses are built, reduces the change in angle of view during focusing in video filming to offer a superior filming experience.

The aspherical elements and ED elements are effectively positioned to achieve the 6.7x zoom ratio and compact design, while also offering the maximum aperture of F.4 across the entire zoom range.

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.

Autofocus

Fast and highly accurate AF

The lens uses the Inner Focus system, which drives the compact and lightweight focus lens group with a linear motor. The compact design of the focus lens group facilitates precision AF at approx. 0.02 seconds, ensuring that users do not miss a decisive moment.

The lens' focus tracking performance is dramatically improved when it is mounted on the Fujifilm X-H2S, also announced today. The lens supports the camera's high-speed focus drive mechanism to maintain a natural focus on a moving subject even during video filming.

Video-Filming Functions for Production

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.

The lens features a zoom/focus control ring, which allows users to control zooming or focusing at variable speeds. During video filming, users can control the pace of zooming or focusing exactly as they intend for greater freedom.

The lens also comes with a zoom button, which can drive zooming at a constant pace, allowing anyone to master video production that involves zooming.

Compact and lightweight design for advanced mobility

The aspherical elements and ED elements are effectively positioned to achieve a design, weighing just 460g, and measuring 123.5mm in length, making it easily portable to facilitate agile filming.

The use of the Inner Zoom system means the lens barrel has a plain, non-extending structure. The result is a lightweight lens that zooms easily with no shift in weight distribution.

Additionally, 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.

Dust and Weather Resistance at Low Temperatures

The lens barrel is weather-sealed at 13 locations to ensure dust- and weather- resistance and the ability to operate at temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius, allowing users to shoot in any situation with peace of mind.
