Fujifilm XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens in More Detail
Incredible image quality
The XF18mmF1.4 employs three aspherical lenses and one ED lens amongst 15 elements in total. These are divided into nine groups to minimise chromatic and Coma aberration. The results are superb with even the finest details being reproduced with high levels of sharpness.
Six elements moves in unison in the focusing group which reduces focus aberration. This results in consistent sharpness at any position on the lens from edge to edge.
A 9 rounded diaphragm results in smooth, soft out of focus areas when this look is required.
Extremely versatile prime
Many subjects including general purpose shooting benefit from the 27mm equivalent focal width this lens provides. Close-focus down to 20cm also opens up endless compositional possibilities for photographers.
Fast, Quiet Autofocus With MF control
The internal AF system will latch onto subject in a split second, as fast as 0.04 seconds under the right conditions. Even if the floating group has to travel through the entire frame front to back subjects will be acquired within 0.25 seconds. So it is fast, really fast. For those who focus manually or simply tweak their focus a smooth ring has been developed which provides excellent feedback as well as being extremely responsive to even the smallest movements.
High build quality with weather sealing
The XF 18mm f/1.4 R LM WR Lens may be compact and lightweight but it still features Fujinon’s high quality metal design. This was developed to offer lightweight useability without compromising on durability. The lens is also comprehensively weather sealed to allow photographers to shoot outdoors in any weather down to -10c. The aperture ring is also lockable to prevent accidental changes to this vital setting.
Optional Accessories
- Fujifilm PRF-62 62mm Lens Protector Filter - does what it says on the tin perfectly by protecting the front lens element
- Hoya REVO SMC 62mm Circular Polarising Filter - reduces glare when shooting outdoor landscapes and seascapes
- Hoya 62mm Variable ND Filter - useful for creating long exposure images and making video

Our Verdict
The image quality which the XF 18mm f/1.4 lens is capable of creating belies its compact size and weight. This makes it an appealing proposition for professionals and enthusiasts as it can be brought to any shoot without a lot of extra weight. 27mm (equivalent) is an extremely useful wide angle prime focal width, being slightly more forgiving than ultra wide lenses whilst still suited to a lot of subjects. This versatility is extended as the lens is also able to close-focus down to just 20cm (which is a mere 11cm from the front element). This opens up a world of possibilities for photographers to get stuck right in to their subject to create dynamic compositions, close-up details and is an exciting way to work with a wide angle lens.
The AF is super responsive and quick, whilst also staying virtually silent which is both useful and essential for some subjects. Fujifilm has created an extremely compelling 35th model in their line-up, which will certainly offer broad appeal to a wide range of users who love a versatile prime with beautiful, pin sharp results.
