MACRO LENS IS THE NEW STANDARD Fujifilm’s new XF30mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro is a standard prime with a focal length equivalent to 46mm in the 35mm format. It offers improved close-up performance, capable of macro photography at 1:1 magnification. It’s constructed with 11 elements in nine groups, including three aspherical and two ED. Minimum shooting distance is just 10cm/3.9in. As X Series cameras use APS-C sensors, subjects are photographed 1.5 times larger than on a full-frame equivalent. With an internal focus system – a linear motor driving the focusing elements – this lens delivers fast and accurate AF. Operation is quiet and smooth, even for close-ups. At £599/$599, it weighs 195g/0.43lb and is 69.5mm/2.73in long. The lens barrel is weather sealed in nine places, so it’s dust- and weather-resistant and works in temperatures as low as -10°C. fujifilm-x.com
