Versatility Meets Precision: An Overview of the Fujifilm XF 30mm F2.8 R LM WR Macro Lens

Overview:

A go-to option for a new era of photographers, the Fujifilm XF 30mm F2.8 R LM WR Macro Lens can be used for both still and video capture in a wide range of settings by providing a flexible focal length, 1:1 macro functionality, rapid inner focusing, and minimal focus breathing. Wrapped up in a compact 195g (0.43 lb), 69.5mm (2.736 in) package, this macro lens is convenient for everyday use. Plus, photographers like you can use this lens for tabletop photography, capturing intricate commercial details, capturing images of tiny wildlife, and other such purposes apart from traditional uses.

Nothing should detract from the image makers' creative process and certainly not the tools that make it all possible. That is why XF30mm F2.8 is designed with seamless usability in mind. The aperture ring position can be locked, preventing accidental movement while precise manual focusing optimizes results. Those who prefer autofocus will be pleased to learn that this optic houses a linear motor inner focus system and pinpoint sharpness can be acquired in as little as 0.02 secs, time and time again. The lens barrel is weather-sealed in nine places, leaving it resistant to moisture, dust, and temperatures down to -10 °C.

More details:

• Ultimate Versatility - Whether you want to make outstanding close-ups or document the world as you travel, this versatile optic does it all. The 30mm focal length coupled with 1:1 macro means almost any subject can be photographed with ease.
• Get Closer Than Ever Before - With a minimum focus distance of 10cm (3.94in), XF30mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro reveals beauty beyond what the eye can see. Subjects will be so close, they will almost touch the front element; record them with a 40-megapixel sensor to maximize breathtaking detail.
• Small Size, Big Performance - Macro lenses typically require both a vast number of elements and a large amount of focus movement, but XF30mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro has just three focusing elements, which keeps its weight under 200g (0.44lb). There’s no compromise in build quality, however, with metal used on key parts for quality and durability.
• Outstanding Autofocus - Autofocus speed and accuracy have been dramatically improved, thanks to an inner-focus design and high-precision linear motor. As a result, the high-speed, near-silent AF can even track flowers swaying in the wind at close range.
• Confidence in All Conditions - Everyday lenses need to be ready for anything. XF30mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro features a weather-resistant design that repels dust and moisture, making it perfect for every situation – including those compelling close-ups often found in inclement conditions.
