The FUJIFILM XF 200mm f/2 R LM OIS WR lens is notable for its extended reach and striking design, offering a 305mm equivalent focal length. It is distinguished by its advanced optical configuration, rapid performance, and effective image stabilization. This lens is particularly advantageous for sports, events, and wildlife photography, with an impressive f/2 maximum aperture that facilitates shooting in diverse lighting conditions while enabling shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques. The optical construction includes three extra-low dispersion elements, one of which is a Super ED element, designed to enhance clarity and color fidelity by mitigating fringing and chromatic aberrations. Additionally, a Super EBC coating is applied to reduce flare, thereby enhancing contrast and color reproduction. The autofocus system, based on a linear motor, provides swift and nearly silent operation for both still images and video. Furthermore, a five-stop effective optical image stabilization system significantly reduces the effects of camera shake, resulting in sharper images. The lens is also weather-sealed to protect against dust and moisture, and features a fluorine coating on the front element for added durability.
Accompanying the lens is the XF 1.4x TC F2 WR Teleconverter, which increases the focal length by 1.4 times, yielding an equivalent focal length of 427mm. This teleconverter retains all automated functions and image stabilization capabilities, and its optical design includes one aspherical element to effectively manage distortion and spherical aberrations.
XF 200mm f/2 R LM OIS WR Lens
The telephoto prime lens is specifically engineered for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras, offering a focal length equivalent to 305mm. Its notably fast f/2 maximum aperture allows for enhanced control over depth of field, facilitating the isolation of subjects and making it suitable for low-light environments. The lens incorporates three extra-low dispersion elements, including one Super ED element, which significantly mitigate color fringing and chromatic aberrations, thereby ensuring high clarity and color accuracy. Additionally, a Super EBC coating has been applied to the individual elements to minimize lens flare and ghosting, resulting in improved contrast and color fidelity under strong lighting conditions.
The linear motor autofocus system provides smooth and nearly silent operation, making it particularly advantageous for video recording and in noise-sensitive settings. An additional mechanism secures the focus motor group when the camera is powered off, reducing unwanted vibrations during storage or transport. The focus range limiter switch allows users to restrict the focus range from 16.4 feet to infinity or to the entire range of 5.9 feet to infinity, enhancing responsiveness based on the subject's distance.
The Focus Preset Function enables instant adjustment to a pre-selected focus position for quicker focus transitions. A Focus Control button located at the lens tip can be customized for various focusing functions, including Focus Preset, AF-ON, or Focus Lock. The optical stabilization system effectively reduces the effects of camera shake by up to five stops, facilitating sharper images when shooting handheld or using slower shutter speeds. The lens body is equipped with 17 distinct weather seals to protect against dust and moisture, allowing for reliable use in adverse conditions and temperatures as low as 14°F. A fluorine coating on the front lens element provides additional protection against smudges, moisture, and dust. The fixed rotating tripod collar ensures balanced support when utilizing a monopod or tripod, with the tripod foot designed to be Arca-type compatible.
XF 1.4x TC F2 WR Teleconverter
- Included with the 200mm f/2 lens is the dedicated 1.4x teleconverter, which extends the effective focal length to 280mm, for an equivalent focal length of 427mm.
- Optical design has seven elements in four groups, including one aspherical element to reduce distortion and maintain high sharpness.
- Retains all AF, AE, and image stabilization functions of the 200mm f/2 lens, as well as the same minimum focusing distance of 5.9'.
- Requires one additional stop of light, making the effective maximum aperture f/2.8.
- Teleconverter adds an additional 0.6" to the overall length of the lens system along with an additional 4.6 oz of weight.
