Description

Description from WEX photo!: With most bulky telephoto lenses weighing in at 1kg, it's refreshing to see that Fujifilm's XF 70-300mm F4-5.6 R LM OIS WR telephoto lens prioritises portability. This interchangeable zoom lens is specific to the X Series, providing image-makers with a broad scale of focal lengths, an efficient linear motor for AF, and up to 5.5-stops of optical image stabilisation. The lens combines 17 elements into 12 groups (one aspherical element and two ED elements), all within a weather-resistant housing. The XF 70-300mm is best suited to photographing sport, nature (bird-watching), and other instances where the subject is at a significant distance from the camera. With the addition of a compatible teleconverter (not included), the XF2X TC WR for example - the maximum magnification extends to an incredible 0.66x (the 35mm equivalent of 1:1 magnification) - the ideal setup for those wanting to try their hand at macro photography. Fujifilm XF 70-300mm F4-5.6 R LM OIS WR Key Features: Interchangeable telephoto zoom lens specific to X Series digital cameras Broad range of available focal lengths between 70mm and 300mm Up to 5.5-stops of optical image stabilisation Combines 17 elements in 12 groups (one aspherical element and two ED elements) Compatible with the FUJINON XF1.4X TC WR and FUJINON XF2X TC WR teleconverters The addition of compatible teleconverters will extend max focal length to 600mm No reduction to performance of phase-detection AF when used with teleconverter Ideal for photographing sports events or where the subject is far away Minimum object/subject distance of 0.83m Weather-resistant construction Compact/lightweight design for improved portability For context, this telephoto zoom lens is a similar size/weight to standard zoom lenses Expanded Fujifilm XF 70-300mm F4-5.6 R LM OIS WR Key Features: Maximum Magnification This telephoto lens has a minimum focus distance of 83cm and an impressive magnification of 0.33x (the 35mm equivalent 0.5x). Along with the XF 70-300mm F4-5.6's long-distance capabilities, you can also achieve dynamic close-up images by making smaller objects (flowers, insects etc.) fill the full-frame. With the addition of a compatible teleconverter, the XF2X TC WR for example - the maximum magnification extends to an incredible 0.66x (the 35mm equivalent of 1:1 magnification). The XF2X TC WR is not included here, however, this is the ideal setup for those wanting to try their hand at macro photography (unique form of image-making where objects/subjects that cannot be seen in detail by the naked eye, are enlarged). When using an additional teleconverter such as the FUJINON XF1.4X TC WR or FUJINON XF2X TC WR, there is no reduction in the performance of the phase-detection autofocus. 5.5-Stop Image Stabilisation A recurring issue with shooting at a longer focal length is the constant camera shake. The XF 70-300mm F4-5.6 offers 5.5-stops of optical image stabilisation (OIS) to minimise this; a great feature for when shooting sport/movement at a distance. When combined with the likes of the in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) system found in FUJIFILM X-T4 and FUJIFILM X-S10, this lens's OIS capabilities allow for five-axis stabilisation - Significantly reduces further camera-shake caused by linear shift. Focal Lengths To Suit Every Occasion The XF 70-300mm F4-5.6 offers such a broad range of focal lengths ranging from 70mm - 300mm (35mm equivalent of 107mm - 457mm), making it an incredibly versatile lens for shooting live-sport, wildlife, and general shooting when the subject is at a significant distance from the camera. It's also incredibly portable for a telephoto lens, more akin to the size and weight of most standard zoom lenses. It weighs just 580g, with bulkier telephoto lenses weighing as much as 1kg. The XF 70-300mm F4-5.6 lens does, however, combine 17 elements into 12 groups - to include one aspherical component and two ED elements. As such a high-quality telephoto lens, Fujifilm have cleverly packed all of this power into a compact and lightweight housing for improved portability. If you are looking for a winning combination that prioritises versatility and portability even further, consider the XF 70-300mm F4-5.6 and FUJINON XF 16-80mm F4 R OIS WR lenses. With just these two FUJINON lenses in your pack, you will be able to capture some seriously stunning still images.
