Used Fujifilm XF8mm F3.5 R WR Lens

The Fujifilm XF8mm F3.5 R WR is an ultra wide angle prime lens with the focal length of 8mm (equivalent to 12mm in 35mm film format). It consists of 12 lens elements in nine groups including three aspherical elements and two ED elements. The focal length of 8mm with the diagonal viewing angle of 121 degrees is perfect for capturing massive information in landscape photography.

Compact and lightweight design
It is just 52.8mm long weighing 215g, bringing the world of wide angle photography to everyday walkaround use. The effective positioning of the aspherical and ED elements has enabled appropriate aberration correction.

Optical excellence
The lens consists of 12 lens elements in nine groups, including three aspherical elements and two ED elements, thereby controlling lens distortion, spherical aberration and astigmatism to deliver advanced image-resolving performance. It can capture full information of the subject that fills the wide-angle frame in the finest detail.

Inner focus system
The wide-angle lens’s characteristically short moving distance for the focusing lens is combined with the use of the Inner Focus system to achieve a fast AF speed of as fast as 0.02 seconds. This is particularly useful when shooting dynamic action photography that takes advantage of the UWA perspective. As a wide-angle lens, which typically has greater-than-normal depth-of-field, its aperture can be stopped down to facilitate pan-focusing. Coupled with advanced image-resolving performance, the lens resolves all information in the frame with edge-to-edge clarity.

Dust and weather resistant
The lens barrel is weather-sealed at 10 locations to achieve dust and weather resistance and capability of operating in temperatures as low as -10℃. The front lens element is applied with fluorine coating to repel water and offer protection against stains.
