Fujifilm has introduced the XF 18mm F1.4 R LM WR ultra-wide prime lens, which is equivalent to 27mm when mounted on an X-mount body. This compact lens is surprisingly light given its fast maximum aperture, weighing in at 370 grams (13.1 ounces). The lens has a total of 15 elements (in 9 groups) and includes both aspherical and extra-low dispersion glass. The six-element focus group is driven by a ‘near-silent’ linear motor. The minimum focus distance of the 18mm F1.4 is 11cm (4.3″), with a maximum magnification of 0.15x. The ‘WR’ in the name of the lens indicates weather sealing, which is in eight locations, according to Fujifilm. The lens will function at temperatures as low as -14°C/+14°F, according to the company. You’ll find an aperture ring on the 18mm F1.4, with an Auto position that locks the ring in place. The Fujifilm XF 18mm F1.4 R LM WR lens will be available in late May for $999.
