New lens by Fujifilm
Fujifilm has announced the launch of Fujinon XF55-200mmF3.5-4.8 R lM OIS lens for the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and X-E1 compact system cameras. Fujinon XF lenses feature advanced lens capable of drawing the maximum performance out of the highly-descriptive ‘X-Trans CMOS sensor’ in the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and X-E1 cameras.
The new Fujinon XF55-200 mm lens produces sharp images across its entire zoom range, well resolved corner-to-corner. The fast F3.5-4.8 lens facilitates image capture in scenes requiring a fast shutter speed. Its image stabilisation function enables the use of shutter speeds 4.5 stops slower, preventing camera shake even when shooting hand-held in low-light, or at a stopped down aperture.
Furthermore, it’s built to include two linear motors for high-speed AF of 0.28 seconds, instantaneously focusing on the subject.
Rohit Pandit, executive VP, sales and marketing, Fujifilm India said: “In India, the lens will be available from June 10, 2013. It will be a perfect companion to the X-E1 and X-Pro1 camera bodies, this lens is also an important milestone in our journey to populate more lenses for the Fujifilm interchangeable range”.
The lens also offers minimum working distance of 1.1m across the entire zoom range to enable telephoto close-ups and capturing a small part of a subject.
