Fujifilm launches new large-diameter telephoto prime lens FUJINON XF200mmF2 R LM OIS WR Lens Announcing the New FUJINON XF200mmF2 R LM OIS WR Telephoto Lens and FUJINON XF1.4X TC F2 WR Teleconverter Kit First super-fast F2 telephoto lens for the mirrorless X Series system boasts ultra-high image quality and pairs perfectly with new XF teleconverter 20.07.2018
FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) has announced that it will introduce the FUJINON XF200mm F2 R LM OIS WR Lens (XF200mm F2 R LM OIS WR), a large-diameter telephoto prime lens for the X Series of digital cameras. It uses Fujifilm's unique color reproduction technology to deliver outstanding photo quality. The lens will be released in late October, 2018, in a kit that also contains the FUJINON Teleconverter XF1.4X TC F2 WR (XF1.4X TC F2 WR), a high-performance teleconverter that can extend the lens's focal length by 1.4 times*1. The XF200mm F2 R LM OIS WR is the X Series' first telephoto interchangeable lens that offers the maximum aperture of F2.0. The lens has the focal length of 200mm (equivalent to 305mm in the 35mm film format.) Tapping into the optical technologies nurtured through the production of FUJINON lenses, widely used in the broadcasting and cinematography industries, it produces advanced sharpness and beautiful bokeh to achieve outstanding descriptive performance. It can be combined with the XF1.4X TC F2 WR, which supports the main lens's maximum aperture of F2.0 and extends its focal length by 1.4 times, to cover the ultra-telephoto focal length of 280mm (equivalent to 427mm in the 35mm film format)*2, making it an ideal choice for shooting sports, airplanes and wild birds.
The XF200mm F2 R LM OIS WR is a large-diameter telephoto prime lens, capable of bringing out the full performance of FUJIFILM's X-TransTM CMOS sensor*3, used in mirrorless digital cameras including the FUJIFILM X-H1. The lens offers sharpness even when the aperture is wide open, using advanced optical design technology and manufacturing technology that makes it possible to process lens surfaces at micron-level precision, fostered through the development of industry-leading FUJINON lenses including broadcast lenses that support 4K / 8K video. The maximum aperture of F2.0 and the long focal length of 200mm (equivalent to 305mm in the 35mm film format) creates beautiful bokeh for outstanding descriptive performance. The lens also features the new Focus Preset function*4, which allows you to instantaneously change the focus to a pre-defined position to capture your main subject with ease without having to make focus re-adjustments. The lens barrel is made of magnesium alloy to create a lightweight yet robust body. The lens is also dust and weather resistant, and capable of operating in environments as cold as -10 C, making it highly reliable as photo equipment for use by professional photographers. The XF1.4X TC F2 WR is a high-performance telecoverter that is fitted between a camera body and a lens to extend the lens's focal length by 1.4 times while drawing out the lens's advanced optical performance to the maximum extent. It is specifically designed to control aberration well, while supporting the lens's maximum aperture of F2.0. The combination of the XF200mm F2 R LM OIS WR and the XF1.4X TC F2 WR covers the focal length of 280mm (equivalent to 427mm in the 35mm film format)*2, broadening users' scope of photography.
Offering the total lineup of 34 lenses including the XF8-16mm F2.8 R LM WR ultra wide-angle zoom lens announced today as well as the FUJINON Lens XF16mm F2.8 R WR, FUJINON Lens XF16-80mm F4 R OIS WR and FUJINON Lens XF33mm F1R WR, featured in the roadmap for developing X Series' interchangeable lenses*5, Fujifilm covers a wide range of shooting conditions from ultra wide-angle to ultra telephoto, providing photographic pleasure with the X Series.

1 Product features
(1) Large-diameter telephoto prime lens, XF200mm F2 R LM OIS WR Exceptional resolving performance and beautiful bokeh
This lens uses large-diameter lens elements, polished at precision finer than 0.1 m, using outstanding optical design technology fostered through the development of industry-leading FUJINON lenses including broadcast lenses that support 4K / 8K video. The lens consists of 19 elements in 14 groups, including one large-diameter super ED lens element and two large-diameter ED lens elements, comparable to the performance of fluorite elements*6. The design minimizes chromatic aberration to deliver a high resolution.
The maximum aperture of F2.0 and the long focal length of 200mm (equivalent to 305mm in the 35mm film format) create beautiful bokeh for outstanding descriptive performance.
*6 A type of lens element made of fluorite, which is characterized by reduced wavelength dispersion in light transmission and refraction. It facilitates an optical design with minimal chromatic aberration.
(2)Variety of functions for easy AF operations
The lens features the new Focus Preset function*7, which instantaneously changes the focus to a pre-set position, defined with the SET button in advance. It allows you to focus on your main subject with ease without having to make focus re-adjustments.
