Boasting a compact design,
Fuji's lightweight and versatile 18mm XF F2
lens (135 equivalent: 27mm) produces enhanced image resolution right to the image edge. Featuring an all-glass aspherical lens and other elements, the lens is polished to perfection and treated with Super EBC coating while the high-quality metal barrel and precision-machined 1/3-step aperture ring gives versatile control. Excellent out-of-focus bokeh are achieved thanks to the design of the moulded aperture diaphragm blades. The blades are curved to create a circular image at all aperture settings, while the very edges of each blade are meticulously rounded off rather than simply cut off, which delivers a sharper image. Specifically designed to maximise the mirror less design of the X-Pro1 body, the X-Mount has a short flange back distance of just 17.7mm giving high resolution right across the image.
<li>Compact and lightweight "Pancake" type.
<li>Using glass-mold aspheric lenses at the 5th and 7th elements, is effective to in increasing
<li>the maximum aperture (5th element) and reducing the overall thickness of the lens (7th
<li>element).
<li>The final element, positioned as closely to the sensor as possible, makes the incidence
<li>angle of light reaching the sensor smaller, and reduces vignetting and color shading, while
<li>helping to keep the lens's overall size small.
