Fujiflim has introduced the new compact Fujinon XF90mm F2 R LM WR, a weather-resistant, fast-aperture prime lens designed to deliver sharp images with rich bokeh, at all aperture settings. The Fujinon XF90mm F2 R LM WR (137mm in 35mm format equivalent) uses an optical construction of 11 elements in 8 groups (including 3 ED glass elements) that minimizes vignetting and creates bokeh thanks to the rounded diaphragm.

(Fujifilm also unveiled the X-T10 mirrorless camera today, which joins Fuji's X-Series digital camera line-up.)

The Fujinon XF90mm F2 R LM WR is compact and lightweight (less than 20 ounces). It provides users with a minimum working distance of approximately 24 inches for a wide range of shooting scenarios. The XF90mm F2 R LM WR now uses a new Quad Linear Motor for fast, accurate autofocus as fast as 0.14 seconds.

The new linear motor is fast, quiet and accurate, and uses four magnets for higher torque and a high-speed autofocus that provides a more versatile shooting experience, allowing users to quickly react to subtle changes in a subject’s facial expression. And with its WR-rating, the XF90mm F2 R LM WR is weather and dust-resistant and can work in temperatures down to 14°F.

Features:

• The Fujifilm X-Mount is compatible with all Fujifilm X-Series interchangeable system cameras.

• A weather-resistant design with 7 sealing points for weather/dust resistance and operation as low as 14°F.

• The new Quad Linear Motor offers 0.14 seconds autofocus speed and nearly silent operation.

• Uses 11 elements in 8 groups, including 3 ED glass lens elements to reduce lateral and axial chromatic aberration.

• The Nano-GI coating alters the refractive index between glass and air to reduce ghosting and flare.

• A 7-blade aperture for smooth and circular bokeh.

• 1/3 EV steps

• A minimum working distance of approximately 24 inches.

The Fujinon XF90mm F2 R LM WR will be available in July 2015 for an estimated price of $949.95.
