Fuji 33mm f1.4 R LM WR

Fuji 33mm f1.4 lens

The XF33mmF1.4 is a very versatile standard fixed lens with a focal length equivalent to 50mm in the 35mm film format, making it a next-generation essential lens for all X-mount users. The X Mount format, since its original introduction in 2012, has undergone continuous development of new products and devices in search of advanced image quality. This lens has been designed to support even higher resolution camera sensors that will be developed in the future, offering exceptional image sharpness and advanced image resolution performance even when fully open. It also offers impressive mobility and is equipped with a quiet, fast and high-precision AF system powered by a linear motor, allowing for sharp focus in photographs and smooth focus in video recording. The robust dust- and moisture-resistant design comes with X Mount's signature portability, weighing about 360g and a length of 73.5mm and a filter thread of 58mm. The XF33mmF1.4 is a new generation large aperture standard prime designed with superior image resolution, mobility and robustness to drive the evolution of the X Series over the next decade and beyond, setting a new benchmark for interchangeable X-mount lenses.

2.Product characteristics

(1) Exceptional image sharpness even at maximum aperture

・ The lens consists of 15 lens elements, including two aspherical elements and three ED elements, in 10 groups to effectively minimize chromatic aberration and spherical aberration, providing edge-to-edge sharpness even when fully open. The focus group in the middle includes two ED elements and one aspherical element to reduce the fluctuation of aberration caused by the movements of the focus elements, ensuring superior image quality throughout the focus range from foreground to infinity.

・ With a maximum aperture of F1.4, the lens allows users to produce high-quality images with minimal camera movement and digital noise, even in low-light conditions, such as low-light interiors and nightscapes. In F1.4, the lens provides a shallow depth of field to render the background out of focus for creamy bokeh, adding clear contrast and three-dimensional definitions to the main subject sharply focused in the focal plane. Comatic aberration is also well controlled to capture small light sources such as round dots, avoiding shades of color in the background in bokeh. The use of nine opening blades ensures an almost round shaped bokeh even around the maximum aperture.

 (2) Standard focal length and wide shooting range

The XF33mmF1.4 offers the most popular and standard focal length of 33mm (equivalent to 50mm in the 35mm film format). The focal length provides the closest angle of view to that of the human eye, creating a natural-looking perspective. It covers a wide range of shooting situations, from portraits to snapshots and landscape photography, presenting them in versatile styles with the use of correct shooting techniques. The wide shooting range is also complemented by its advanced close-up capability with a minimum working distance of only 30cm and a maximum magnification of 0.15x.

(3) Silent, fast and high-precision AF

• The AF system of the XF33mmF1.4 is driven by a linear motor thanks to its lightweight design attributable to the use of smaller focusing elements, resulting in quiet, fast and high-precision AF. AF is achieved with the Inner Focus system, which keeps the range of motion for the focus lens group small while precisely controlling the amount of focus required within range. Focus is achieved in as little as 0.04 seconds, ensuring that users do not miss a decisive opportunity to take pictures. * 1

• Using the linear motor for fast and accurate autofocus means that focus can be maintained accurately even in AF-C mode, mainly used in video recording. In addition, the lens is optically designed to minimize changes in the angle of view, caused by focus breathing, making it an ideal choice for full-blown video production.

(4) Advanced mobility based on compact, lightweight and robust construction

• The XF33mmF1.4 is compact and lightweight, weighing approximately 360g and measuring 73.5mm long with a filter thread size of 58mm. The outer diameter of the focus lens group is kept small to accommodate a linear motor in the space created to achieve a slim and elegant design.

• The lens cylinder is weather-sealed in 11 locations to be dust and weather resistant and can be used at temperatures as low as -10°C, accommodating snapshots in the rain or astrophotography on cold winter nights for enhanced performance in all shooting conditions.

• The focus ring has an improved control resolution Solution for greater control, especially during manual focus at shallow depth of field. The gear pitch within the focus ring is carefully designed for advanced motion detection capability, allowing for linear focus that responds precisely to the subtlest movements of the fingertips.

• Position A lock (automatic) offers reliable operation, locking the aperture ring in place to prevent any unintentional adjustment during filming.

• The shape of the groove in the focus ring is carefully designed to facilitate the removal of dirt stuck in the grooves.
