Fujifilm has announced it will release the Fujinon XF200mmF2 R LM OIS WR Telephoto Lens and Fujinon XF1.4X TC F2 WR Teleconverter Kit, the first super-fast telephoto lens in its XF lens range.

The Fujinon XF200mmF2 R LM OIS WR Telephoto Lens and Fujinon XF1.4X TC F2 WR Teleconverter Kit will have an October 2018 release date.

Offering a focal length equivalent to 305mm, the Fujinon XF200mmF2 R LM OIS WR Telephoto Lens will be available as a kit with the XF1.4X F2 TC WR teleconverter, which extends this focal length by 1.4 times to reach an equivalent of 427mm at f/2.8.

Fujifilm says the new Fujinon XF200mmF2 R LM OIS WR brings a new Focus Preset function, allowing photographers to quickly change the focus to preset positions within the frame.

The lens barrel is made of magnesium alloy, which keeps the weight down to 2,265g, and it measures 122mm x 205.5mm.

The Fujinon XF200mmF2 R LM OIS WR is comprised of 19 elements in 14 groups and boasts a 9-blade diaphragm. Its filter size is 105mm, and Fujifilm says the lens is resistant to dust, moisture and temperatures down to -10C.

The front element is also coated with fluorine to repel water and dirt.
