Product Details / Description:

Renting the FUJINON XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR gives Fujifilm creators a powerful, flexible lens that excels in both still photography and video capture during their travels in Japan. The broad focal range minimizes lens changes, and the advanced controls are tailored for professional-looking video transitions.

About the Product

The optical construction features 15 elements in 12 groups, including three Aspherical and three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements. This high-end formula ensures excellent image quality, minimizing aberrations across the entire 6.7x zoom range.

The defining feature is the Power Zoom (PZ) capability. The lens is equipped with a Linear Motor (LM) not only for fast, quiet autofocus but also for driving the zoom, which is controlled via a dedicated zoom/focus control ring and zoom button. This allows for the precise, smooth, and constant-speed zooming necessary for cinematic video. Both the zoom and focus systems are internal, meaning the lens’s physical length (123.5mm) and balance remain constant, a huge benefit when using gimbals or stabilizers. The lens offers a constant F4.0 maximum aperture and a close minimum shooting distance of 60cm across all focal lengths, with a maximum magnification of 0.2x.

Faqs:

What makes this power zoom lens specifically good for video?

The power zoom (PZ) is driven electrically, allowing the user to zoom in and out at a precise, controlled, and constant speed. Unlike manual zooming, which can be jerky or uneven, PZ ensures smooth, cinematic transitions vital for high-quality video production.

Does the F4.0 maximum aperture affect low-light stills compared to an F2.8 lens?

Yes, F4.0 is one stop slower than F2.8, meaning it gathers half the light. While high ISO performance on modern cameras helps compensate, an F2.8 lens would perform better in very dim light. However, the XF18-120mm prioritizes the huge zoom range and video features over maximum light gathering.

What is the benefit of inner zoom and inner focus?

Since the physical size and center of gravity of the lens do not change when zooming or focusing, the lens is much easier to balance on gimbals, tripods, and other video support equipment, providing superior stability during shooting.

How useful is the 183mm equivalent telephoto end?

The 183mm equivalent is a moderately strong telephoto length, useful for isolating distant architectural details, capturing wildlife, or creating strongly compressed portraits (where the background appears closer to the subject).

How do the “zoom/focus control ring” and “zoom button” work?

The zoom button (a rocker switch) allows for fixed, constant-speed zooming (slow, medium, or fast). The zoom/focus control ring is unique: you can set it to control either zoom speed or manual focus depending on your camera settings, giving the user versatile operational control over movement.
