Extremely wide

Exposed to the elements

Winter in ReykjavΓ­k, spring in Kyoto, summer in New England or autumn in Boston… Camera lenses are the main component that are exposed to the elements. That is why lenses need to coexist with the environment, rather than battling against it. Weather-sealing allows you and your lens to enjoy all seasons together. *Dust- and Moisture- resistant *Operable down to -10Β°

No compromise

FUJIFILM uses Super EBC coating to prevent light reflections, Nano GI coating gently controls the refractive index, and fluoride coating repels dirt. These coating technologies are applied to suitable places to make the lens close to perfect.

F2.8, your passport to a new territory

This large-diameter lens with fast constant F2.8 aperture allows you photographic freedom in low light conditions, like when the moon is the brightest object in your shot. Its incredible sharpness even when wide open proves its true worth.
