Fuji 55-200mm f3.5-4.8 R LM OIS

All info at : Club Fotografinauta

• The advanced optical design makes it possible to cover the range from medium telephoto (84mm*2) to telephoto (305mm*2) and achieve the maximum aperture of F3.5-4.8 despite its compact size. In this way, the lens offers mobility and at the same time excellent descriptive performance.
• It incorporates an image stabilization function that allows the use of shutter speeds of 4.5 stops slower, thus detecting a wide range of camera shake from low to high frequencies to provide advanced correction.
• It uses two linear motors for high-speed autofocus and quiet operation, so the lens is also suitable for video recording.
• It incorporates two extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses, including a Super ED lens that offers performance equivalent to fluorite lenses, which control common chromatic aberrations at long focal lengths to produce images with good corner-to-corner resolution throughout the zoom focal range.
• FUJINON's proprietary "HT-EBC coating" is applied to the entire lens surface to highly effectively prevent flare and control ghosting and flare.
• Offers a minimum focusing distance of approximately 1.1 m throughout the focal range to enable telephoto close-ups that capture a small portion of the subject.
• It incorporates an aperture ring with 1/3EV steps that allows the user to easily adjust the aperture while holding the camera at eye level.
• The focus ring and aperture ring are made of metal and have been designed to offer a high-quality feel, with the advantage of being extraordinarily robust.

In conjunction with the launch of the XF55-200mm F3.5-4.8R LM OIS lens, FUJIFILM will update the firmware of the X-Pro1 and X-E1 cameras. Thanks to a new algorithm, the firmware will take full advantage of the lens' capabilities, enabling both cameras to quickly search for contrast AF across the entire focal length range. Focusing speed will be as fast as 0.7 seconds, even when searching from infinity to the minimum distance to the telephoto subject. With the new firmware update, the X-Pro1 and X-E1 will also improve AF speed with the other existing XF lenses. ^*3

The firmware will be available for download at www.fujifilm.com in the lead up to the release of the XF55-200mm F3.5-4.8R LM lens.

*1 Based on CIPA standards

*2 Equivalent to 35mm format.

*3 Firmware update will be required for all XF lenses except the XF55-200mm F3.5-4.8 R LM OIS. Lens firmware will be available from July 2013.
