Fujifilm XF 30mm F2.8 R LM WR Review
General information
This is a prime lens manufactured by Fujifilm and the lens was released 2022.
The lens belongs to the category
standard prime lenses, a normal lens where you do not have the possibility to zoom in and out.
The lens has macro-capabilities and is able to reproduce things in their true size (1:1) which is good, it tends to be the rule for calling a lens a 'true' macro lens.
Compatibility, autofocus and focal length
This lens is designed and meant for cameras with a smaller sensor (often referred to as 'APS-C') which means that the lens does not fit all camera models. By clicking on the link below you can make sure that the lens works with your camera model and you should do an additional check with your local dealer as well, before you buy the lens just to be sure.
The ability to use autofocus is available for all cameras.
The lens has a focal length of 30 mm. Since the lens is designed to be used on a camera with smaller sensor ('APS-C') the focal length will be equivalent to

Lens brightness and image stabilizer
The lens brightness and aperture value is f/2,8.
This aperture value indicates that the lens is very bright. This will make it so much easier shooting in darker environments where you do not want or can use flash lighting, for example in churches or at different sports venues.
The lens lacks image stabilization, which otherwise os good for avoiding the blur that can occur when using slow shutter speeds. Since the lens is bright, with good aperture value, the lack of image stabilization might not be that big of a deal, although a image stabilizer is always an advantage to have.
Filter and Lens Hood
The lens has a traditional filter thread on the front and its measuring 43 mm which also the filter you will use must have. If you use for example an UV filter can be a cheap insurance against scratches and dust.
Unfortunately there is no lens hood included when buying the lens.
