Fujifilm Fujifilm X-Mount>XF 150-600mm f/5.6-8 Lens

Key Features: 228-914mm in 35mm Format Equivalent Teleconverter Support with up to 1823mm Using 2x TC Internal Zoom: 315mm at Any Focal Length Ultra Fast Af Linear Motor Dust and Weather Resistant Build Super-Telephoto Zoom Lens The XF 150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR lens is the perfect choice for capturing distant subjects such as wildlife and sports. It covers focal lengths from telephoto 150mm to super-telephoto 600mm (equivalent to 229mm – 914mm in the 35mm film format). It can be used with teleconverters, and with the XF2X TC WR, its range is extended up to 1200mm (equivalent to 1828mm in the 35mm film format). This lens is lightweight and offers fast and accurate AF, plus perfect operability with the New Fujifilm X-H2S and its subject tracking performance even at the super-telephoto end. The super-telephoto range is prone to image degradation with axial chromatic aberration; however, the XF 150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR benefits from its construction, consisting of 24 lens elements in 17 groups, including three ED elements and four Super ED elements, to deliver an advanced level of image resolution and edge to edge clarity across the entire zoom range. The XF 150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR has been designed with a focus on being lightweight. The result is a non-extending Inner Zoom lens that weighs just 1.605kg and has minimal shift in weight distribution for a stable grip and better balance. Users are assured of easy use even during extended photographic expeditions for wildlife or sports photography. The fast AF system, driven by a linear motor, attains a perfect focus quickly and accurately even in the super-telephoto range and even when fitted with a teleconverter, where focusing is difficult due to a shallow depth of field, thereby assuring the ability to capture a decisive moment. Fujifilm’s Longest Super-Telephoto Zoom Lens The new lens covers Fujifilm’s longest focal length range, from the telephoto 150mm to the super-telephoto 600mm (equivalent to 229mm – 914mm in the 35mm film format), making it a perfect choice for wildlife, birds, and sports photography. The lens, consisting of 24 lens elements in 17 groups, including three ED elements and four Super ED elements, thoroughly suppresses axial chromatic aberration, typically seen in super-telephoto lenses. It delivers a high level of edge-to-edge image-resolving performance across the entire zoom range. The HT-EBC coating, typically used in broadcast lenses, has been applied on all elements to achieve high transmittance and low reflectance despite containing 24 lens elements. Lightweight Design, Enabling Extended Shooting in a Variety of Situations It weighs just 1.605kg despite being a super-telephoto zoom reaching up to 600mm (equivalent to 914mm in the 35mm film format). Two Super ED elements are used as frontmost elements to keep the lens barrel small while maintaining an advanced level of image resolving performance. The use of the Inner Zoom system means the lens barrel has a plain, non-extending structure. The result is a lightweight lens that zooms easily with no shift in weight distribution. The lens body is matte silver to mitigate its temperature increase during operation. This reduces the risk of lens heating even during photography in the sweltering heat, giving users peace of mind. Magnesium alloy is used for the internal base frame that supports the lens structure to keep the weight low and make it robust at the same time. The lens barrel is weather-sealed at 19 locations to ensure dust- and weather­ resistance and the ability to operate at temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius. It can withstand use in various environments, even in rough weather. 5-stop Image Stabilisation Mechanism At the super-telephoto, 600mm focal length (equivalent to 914mm in the 35mm film format), the longest in Fujifilm’s lineup, the degree of camera shake becomes too great to be controlled with in-body image stabilisation. Therefore, applying a fine optical axis adjustment in the lens becomes necessary before an image is formed on the sensor. The XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR features a high­ precision sensing and control system to deliver a 5-stop optical image stabilisation mechanism, one of the strongest for super-telephoto zooms, making it easier than ever to shoot at the super-telephoto range, most susceptible to camera shake. Users can take full advantage of the mobility of the compact X Mount when shooting super-telephoto photography hand-held. Multiple Functions for Fast, Silent and Easy AF Operation The lens uses the Inner Focus system, which drives the compact and lightweight focus lens group with a linear motor to achieve a fast and silent AF. The focus is attained quickly and precisely in just 0.25 seconds, even in the hard-to-focus super­ telephoto range, ensuring the ability to capture a decisive photo opportunity. The Focus Preset function is featured so that the lens remembers the focus for a location pre-defined with the SET button. Users can keep shooting without having to re-adjust focus on a targeted subject. The Focus Limiter is another feature that allows users to restrict the lens’s AF range. This can effectively shorten AF time when photographing a subject that is 5 metres away or more. The Focus Limiter can be activated with the Shooting Distance Range switch.
