Fujifilm XF 18mm ƒ/1.4 R LM WR Photography Lens with Fujifilm X-Mount
Overview
The Fujifilm XF 18mm ƒ/1.4 R LM WR Photography Lens with Fujifilm X-Mount is a wide-angle prime covering APS-C sensors. Wide coverage places a subject inside its setting rather than isolating it, the framing environmental portraiture and street photography are built on. A ƒ/1.4 maximum aperture is among the fastest made, giving very shallow depth of field and usable shutter speeds after dark, closing to ƒ/16. Autofocus lets the camera's own subject detection drive the lens, which is what makes it usable for tracking moving subjects and for video. It mounts via Fujifilm X-Mount. Closest focus is 7.9 in, for a maximum magnification of 1:6.7.
Features
Key Features
Wide APS-C Coverage
The lens covers APS-C sensors. A wide field of view keeps a subject in its surroundings, which is what environmental portraits, street photography and landscape work call for.
ƒ/1.4 Maximum Aperture
ƒ/1.4 is among the fastest available, giving very shallow depth of field for portrait work and workable shutter speeds in low light, and the lens closes to ƒ/16.
Autofocus
The lens focuses under the camera's control, so hybrid shooters can use the body's own subject detection and tracking rather than pulling focus by hand — the difference between catching a moving subject and losing it.
1:6.7 Maximum Magnification
A maximum magnification of 1:6.7 sets how large a small subject renders on the sensor, with a closest focus of 7.9 in.
62mm Filter Thread
Optical Design
9-Blade Diaphragm
9 blades hold the iris closer to a circle when stopped down, which keeps out-of-focus highlights round rather than polygonal — visible in portrait backgrounds and night work.
Mount & Build
Fujifilm X-Mount
The lens mounts via Fujifilm X-Mount, which sets the bodies it fits directly and those it reaches through an adapter.
Electronic Lens Communication
Contacts in the mount pass aperture, focus and focal length between lens and body, so exposure data is recorded to EXIF and in-camera corrections for distortion and vignetting apply automatically.
Weather-Sealed Construction
Seals at the mount and control rings resist dust and moisture, which matters for landscape and field sports work carried out in the open.
