Another new super-telephoto lens is on the scene, and while the specs and aspirations are getting bigger, the lens itself, with its design and weight, is aiming to get smaller.
The new FUJIFILM XF 400mm f/4.5 R LM OIS WR Lens is a portable, lightweight prime with a 600mm full-frame equivalent focal length, making it an appealing option for those looking to capture distant subjects for wildlife, sports, or documentary-style photo and video.
Let’s look at this new long boy and see what it has to offer.
FUJIFILM XF 400mm f/4.5 R LM OIS WR Lens
As mentioned above, despite its long range, this new Fujifilm XF prime aims to be quite lightweight and small, as it will weigh less than 3 lb and measure in at only 9.4” in length. It’s designed for convenient handheld use, although its 5.5 stops of optical image stabilization should help compensate for camera shake in video, too.
The lens also has an Arca-type tripod collar foot for quick mounting on your preferred monopods or tripods. The lens also features a combination of four extra-low dispersion elements, two super extra-low dispersion elements, and Super EBC coating to preserve accurate colors, strong contrast, and sharp detail wherever you take it.
The lens can also be further enhanced with the subject detection algorithms in the X-series cameras, and the Linear Motor autofocus system should work well with these methods to deliver fast, accurate performance in near silence.
Price and Availability
Overall, this looks like another solid telephoto prime lens option that, as you might expect, isn’t cheap per se, but it's a high-quality choice for those interested in investing in a long-range lens for specific photo or video needs.
