Fujifilm update their X series lens roadmap

Fujiflim continues to forge ahead with their X series roadmap.  The more observant of you will have noticed another three lenses added - the compact, lightweight and stylish semi-wideangle lens "XF23mmF2 R WR", the compact mid-telephoto lens "XF50mmF2 R WR" and the mid-telephoto 1:1 macro lens "XF80mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro". The expanded 25-lens lineup covers extensive angles of view from ultra wideangle to ultra telephoto, and will now also cover the macro category to further enhance photographic versatility.

Semi wideangle lens "XF23mmF2 R WR"
The semi wideangle lens "XF23mmF2 R WR" gives the field of view equivalent to 35mm (in the 35mm film format). The compact, lightweight and stylish lens features a high-speed autofocus capability, making it perfect for casual snapshots.

Mid telephoto lens "XF50mmF2 R WR"
The mid telephoto lens "XF50mmF2 R WR" has a field of view equivalent to 76mm (in the 35mm film format). Its beautiful bokeh and high-speed autofocus are ideally suited for portrait photography.
Similarly to the new "XF23mmF2 R WR" and existing "XF35mm F2 R WR" lenses, this lens features a compact, lightweight and stylish appearance and creates a new "compact prime trio" range within the complete lineup of interchangeable lenses for "X Series" digital cameras.

Mid-telephoto 1:1 macro lens "XF80mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR"
This mid-telephoto macro lens with the field of view equivalent to 122mm (in the 35mm film format) is the X series’ first 1:1 macro interchangeable lens. It can be mounted with a teleconverter to be used as a telephoto macro lens equivalent to 171mm*1 (in the 35mm film format) with the 1.4x teleconverter and equivalent to 244mm*2 (in the 35mm film format) with the 2x teleconverter. The lens, covering macro photography from mid-telephoto to telephoto range, also features a high-performance image stabilization.

*1 The lens’s maximum aperture is reduced to F4 when mounted with the 1.4x teleconverter.
*2 The lens’s maximum aperture is reduced to F5.6 when mounted with the 2x teleconverter.

 

Changes from the previous roadmap released on February 10, 2015

The "XF120mmF2.8 R Macro" lens, listed in the previous roadmap, has been replaced with the "XF80mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR" to meet the market demand for compact and lightweight lenses. To cater to our customers who were expecting a telephoto macro lens, this new lens is compatible with the existing teleconverters to extend its reach into the telephoto range.
