The FUJINON XF400mm F4.5 R LM OIS WR, like the other FUJINON lenses, this new lens is designed for the FUJIFILM X Series of mirrorless digital cameras. It is a super-telephoto option with a 400mm focal length, equivalent to about 609mm.
The new lens weighs approximately 1,245 grams, and it is designed to be more manageable for outdoor activities. Meanwhile, the f/4.5 aperture helps separate subjects from busy backgrounds. It also has optical stabilization of up to 5.5 stops, helping reduce camera shake when shooting handheld.
Additionally, it features weather-resistant sealing at 20 points and is designed to operate in temperatures as low as -10°C. With a weather-resistant FUJIFILM X Series camera body, it offers added confidence when shooting in challenging conditions.
The FUJINON XF400mm F4.5 expands the company’s super-telephoto lineup, joining the XF200mm F2 and the XF500mm F5.6.
The XF400mm F4.5 R LM OIS WR helps nature and sports photographers alike. It brings distant subjects closer within the frame while maintaining a respectful distance from their subjects and retaining the details.
Here are some photos taken with the lens:
For nature photographer Vince Averia, photographing birds requires an understanding of their behavior and the ability to anticipate movements.
“Bird photography requires patience and a keen eye for detail. You have to observe your surroundings and be ready to capture a moment that may only last a few seconds. Having the right lens makes a difference, as it allows you to photograph birds from a distance while preserving the details that make each shot special,” shared Averia.
The FUJINON XF400mm F4.5 R LM OIS WR is now available in the Philippines for PHP 185,990.
