About Fujifilm 18-55mm T2.9
Bring your professional video shooting to the next level with the MKX 18-55mm T2.9 Cinema Lens for Fuji X. This high-quality lens is the first full manual cinema lens compatible with the X Series interchangeable camera, offering a versatile focal distance from 27mm to 84mm in the 35mm format equivalent. With a constant T2.9 aperture across the entire zoom range, you can achieve a beautiful bokeh effect and a shallow depth of field, perfect for creating stunning visual effects.
Designed with the videographer in mind, this lens minimizes focus shift and optical axis shift while zooming, reducing lens breathing for a smoother shooting experience. The three-ring design allows for manual and independent operation of focus, zoom, and iris (aperture), all with a gear pitch of 0.8M (module). The focus ring can rotate fully up to 200 degrees, facilitating precise focusing for those critical shots.
The MKX 18-55mm T2.9 lens boasts an advanced optical performance with an optical construction comprising 22 glass elements in 17 groups, including six super ED lens elements and two ED lens elements. The constant T2.9 aperture across the entire zoom range facilitates the increasingly popular bokeh effect with a shallow depth-of-field, eliminating the need to re-adjust lighting and contributing to a more efficient shooting process.
Despite its compact and lightweight body, this lens achieves superior optical performance by incorporating the benefits of the short flange focal distance of the X Mount into the optical design. The electrical contact communicates with the X Series camera to correct distortion and color/brightness shading, achieving various color expressions with Film Simulation modes.
The MKX 18-55mm T2.9 lens also features a front inner-focusing system to control lens breathing, ensuring smooth focusing in impressive scenes. The use of manufacturing technology developed for conventional FUJINON cine lenses controls optical axis shift while zooming, achieving your intended composition every time.
The lens offers comfortable operability with a focus ring featuring a full 200-degree rotation for precise focusing. The three fully manual rings enable independent adjustment of focus, zoom, and iris (aperture), providing intuitive operations free of time lag. All operation rings have a gear pitch of 0.8M, compatible with all standard third-party video production accessories.
The lens also supports seamless iris adjustment, free of clicking, for precise and silent exposure adjustment, preventing camera shake caused by clicking. With a standardized design for ease of operation, including a single matte box and filter size for MKX lenses, and a macro function for close-up shooting, the MKX 18-55mm T2.9 lens is a versatile and essential tool for any professional videographer.
Fujifilm 18-55mm T2.9 Features
- MKX18-55mm uses an optical construction comprising 22 glass elements in 17 groups, with six super ED lens elements and two ED lens elements
- T2.9 aperture across the entire zoom range which facilitates the increasingly popular style of bokeh effect with shallow depth-of-field. This also eliminates the need to re-adjust lighting, contributing to shortened shooting time.
- The MKX lenses achieve advanced edge-to-edge optical performance despite their compact and lightweight body by incorporating the benefits of short flange focal distance of X Mount into optical design to the maximum extent.
- The electrical contact feature of these lenses allows for communication with X Series cameras, and not only corrects the distortion and the color/brightness shading, but also achieves various color expressions with Film Simulation modes.
- The front focusing group of lens elements and the zooming group of lens elements are driven independently from one another to suppress focus shift while zooming, which eliminates the need to re-focus after zooming in or out. The optical and mechanical approach means there is no time lag as seen in an electrical control system.
- The use of the front inner-focusing system controls lens breathing (change of angle of view during focusing) which achieves smooth focusing.
- Manufacturing technology developed for conventional FUJINON cine lenses is applied to control optical axis shift while zooming, achieving intended composition every time.
- The focus ring features a rotation of a full 200 degrees to facilitate precise focusing.
- The lenses feature three fully manual rings to enable independent adjustment of focus, zoom and iris (aperture). This enables intuitive operations which cannot be attained with an electrical mechanism that typically causes time lag.
- All operation rings have a gear pitch of 0.8M, the same as all other FUJINON cine lenses, which allows the use of all standard third party accessories for video production.
- The iris supports seamless adjustment that is free of clicking. This enables precise and silent exposure adjustment while also preventing camera shake caused by clicking.
- Only one matte box between the lenses is needed with an 85mm front diameter.
- Only one filter size between the lenses is needed with a filter thread of 82mm.
- The gears for the three rings are positioned in the same place so as to eliminate the need to re-position accessories when switching lenses.
- The lens has a macro function that allows shooting close-up to broaden the range of scenes that can be covered with one lens.
- The lens features a Flange Focal Distance adjustment function to achieve optimum camera and lens matching, bringing out the lenses' full optical performance.
