More details:

• The smallest and lightest weight interchangeable zoom lens for the "X Series" mirrorless digital camera range - The composition of 10 lenses in 9 groups, including three aspherical lenses and two ED lenses, provides excellent resolution at all zoom positions while measuring just 44.2mm long and weighing only 135g.
• Covers frequently used focal lengths - This new Fuji XC lens covers the frequently used focal length from 23mm to 69mm (in 35mm format equivalent) which makes it a suitable lens for shooting both landscape and portrait photography. Because the wide-angle end is equivalent to 23mm, this lens will be suitable for capturing self-portraits featuring multiple people or backgrounds when used with a camera with a 180° tilting LCD screen, such as FUJIFILM X-A5.
• Ability to shoot close-up, 5cm from the lens tip - Using the widest angle position, the Fujifilm camera lens allows photographers to shoot subjects that are around 5cm from the end of the lens, achieving a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.24. This lens is ideal for those wanting to take close-up shots of food, flowers, or small accessories.
• Electric zoom and comfortable operation - Creating a small, collapsible lens has been made possible by utilizing an electric zoom. When the camera is switched on, the Fujifilm X lens automatically extends ready for shooting. Two different zoom speeds can be selected by rotating the zoom ring. The Fujifilm XC lens moves position at a constant speed, producing smooth zooming motion when shooting movies.
• Fast and silent autofocus - The inner focusing AF system uses a stepping motor to drive lightweight focusing elements for a fast and silent autofocus performance.
• Compact Design: Smallest and lightest interchangeable zoom lens for Fujifilm X-mount cameras.
• Smooth Operation: Power zoom mechanism ensures quiet and seamless zoom control.
