(From Fujifilm lens literature) The Fujinon high-magnification zoom lens, XF18-135mmF3.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR, covers a wide range of shooting scenarios, from wide angle (27mm equivalent) to telephoto (206mm equivalent). This lens boasts the world's most advanced 5.0-stop image stabilization technology and a dust-proof structure with weather resistant sealing applied to more than 20 different areas of the lens.
The XF18-135mmF3.5-5.6 lens has high-performance glass that includes 4 aspherical and 2 ED lenses with multi-layer HT-EBC that effectively reduces lens flare and ghosting. It offers rapid auto focus speeds (max. 0.10 seconds) and silent operation thanks to the low noise linear motor technology. When combined with the X-T1, the camera and lens weigh a mere 930g so they make an ideal weather-sealed combination for travel that offers improved flexibility and increased photo opportunities.
FUJINON XF18-135mmF3.5-5.6 (27-206mm) R LM OIS WR key features:
- FUJIFILM X-Mount is compatible with all FUJIFILM interchangeable system cameras
- Weather-resistant design with more than 20 sealing points
- 0.10 seconds autofocus speed and nearly silent operation
- Powerful optical image stabilization minimizes shake and blur in low light
