The Fujinon XF 18-120mm was made for capturing premium quality, cinema level footage. An ergonomic, lightweight machine, the XF 18-120 boasts stepless aperture adjustments to ensure a seamless recording experience, seamless switching between continuous autofocus and manual focus during recording, and is a dream for the serious filmmaker.

While being a product of a collaborative effort between Fujifilm's FUJINON Broadcast and Cinema Lenses engineers, the FUJINON XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR lens is a compact, weather-resistant lens that caters to the needs of independent crews and film-making enthusiasts. This lens boasts a versatile 35mm equivalent focal range of 27-183mm and a close focusing distance of 60cm (23.6"), making it a perfect fit for a wide array of applications, from documentaries to narrative projects.

The lens features an internal zooming mechanism, making it an ideal choice for gimbal stabilization devices, as the lens' physical length and center of gravity remain constant when changing focal lengths. Automated controls offer precise control over zooming speed and stepless aperture adjustments, with seamless transitioning between continuous AF and manual focusing, giving filmmakers complete creative control.

The XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR lens is the first X Series XF lens engineered in collaboration with the design team responsible for bringing FUJINON lenses to the high-end worlds of cinema and broadcast. Compact, lightweight, and versatile, this lens is tailor-made for motion production professionals and enthusiasts alike. It features a variable power zoom, smooth manual focus, and stepless aperture adjustments to ensure a seamless recording experience.

The lens offers seamless switching between continuous autofocus and manual focus during recording, so perfect results are always within reach. This advanced functionality maximizes versatility for focus transitions, allowing the user to step in and take control whenever required.

Thanks to its compact dimensions and internal zooming mechanism, the XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR lens is an ideal solution for use with a gimbal because its physical length does not change when the zoom setting is changed. This results in a variety of creative options while having only one lens fixed to the camera.

With a zoom range equivalent to 27-183mm, a close focusing distance of 60cm (23.6") throughout, and near-silent zoom and focusing controls, the XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR lens is perfect for a broad range of motion production applications. These extend even further when considering the lens' minimal focus breathing, stepless aperture control, and constant F4 aperture.

The XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR lens is always ready for those unexpected creative moments, thanks to its weather-resistant design and fluorine-coated front and rear elements, which are designed to repel dust and moisture from the lens surfaces, making them easy to clean. Confidently film in wet or dusty conditions, in temperatures as low as -10 Degree C (14 Degree F) and focus on making a new masterpiece.
