Fujifilm India has announced the launch of its FUJINON XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR Lens in India. The lens is the latest addition to the brand’s extensive lineup of interchangeable XF lenses designed for the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras.
The X-Series cameras are renowned for their compact and lightweight design and outstanding image quality delivered with Fujifilm’s proprietary color reproduction technology.
The XF150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR lens is lightweight and features a quick, highly accurate autofocus system, providing excellent operability and superior subject tracking capabilities even at the super-telephoto end. It covers focal lengths ranging from the telephoto 150mm to the super-telephoto 600mm (equivalent to 229mm – 914mm in the 35mm film format)
It supports teleconverters, and if equipped with the XF2X TC WR, its range increases to up to 1200mm (1828mm in 35mm film format), allowing liberal framing unrestricted by shooting distance to capture wildlife and wild birds, or tracking athletes across all corners of a vast stadium in sports photography.
The new lightweight lens has been designed to provide a non-extending Inner Zoom lens that weighs 1605g* and has minimal shift in weight distribution for a stable grip with reduced burden.
The fast AF system driven by the linear motor attains a perfect focus quickly and accurately even in the super-telephoto range, where focusing is difficult due to shallow depth of field, thereby assuring the capture of a decisive photo opportunity. *(without lens food, lens cap, and tripod collar foot)
Priced at an MRP of Rs. 1,99,999 (inclusive of all taxes) the XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR lens is available with authorized retailers.
Product features
At the super-telephoto 600mm focal length (equivalent to 914mm in the 35mm film format), the longest in Fujifilm’s lineup*1, the size of camera shake becomes too great to be controlled with in-body image stabilization. It therefore becomes necessary to apply fine optical axis adjustment in the lens before an image is formed on the sensor
The XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR features a high-precision sensing and control system to deliver a 5-stop*2 optical image stabilization mechanism, one of the strongest for super-telephoto zooms, making it easier than ever to shoot at the super-telephoto range, most susceptible to camera shake. Users can take full advantage of the mobility of the compact X Mount when shooting super-telephoto photography hand-held.
*1 As of May 31, 2022 | *2 Compliant with CIPA in pitch / yaw directions
*3 AF speed measured at the telephoto end, using an internal measurement method compliant with the CIPA Guidelines, when mounted on the mirrorless digital camera “FUJIFILM X-T4” with Phase Detection AF activated and the High Performance Mode turned ON. The AF speed at the wide-angle end under the identical condition is approx. 0.15 seconds.
*4 Camera firmware must be updated to activate the Focus Preset function and the Focus Control button. The update is to be released later for the FUJIFILM X-T4, FUJIFILM X-T3 and FUJIFILM X-S10.
