ABOUT FUJIFILM X-SERIES

X100T

This is the new FUJIFILM X100T premium compact digital camera. Equipped with the world’s first electronic rangefinder, an APS-C size X-Trans CMOS II sensor, high-speed EXR Processor II image processing engine and a FUJINON 23mm F2 lens, the X100T delivers unsurpassed image quality thanks to advanced color reproduction technology and the new unique Classic Chrome film simulation mode.

X-T1 Graphite Silver Edition

The X-T1 Graphite Silver Edition is a new color variant of the Fujifilm X-T1 premium mirrorless camera. Since its launch, the X-T1 has received high praise from photography enthusiasts and professional photographers around the globe thanks to its outstanding features, including the world’s fastest Real Time Viewfinder with a display lag-time of just 0.005 sec, the highest display magnification (0.77x), and a dust and weather-resistant body.

X30
The X30 features the newly-developed Real Time Viewfinder – which is the largest, fastest and highest resolving viewfinder in its class(*1) – a large 2/3-inch X-TransTM CMOS II sensor(*2) (12 megapixel with no optical low pass filter), EXR Processor II image processing engine and a new ‘Classic Chrome’ film simulation mode. Further additions include a new control ring along with extra dials and function buttons for more control and a tilting 3.0-inch 920K-dot premium clear LCD monitor. Battery performance has also been improved, with the X30 capable of shooting approximately 470 photos(*3) on one charge thanks to a capacity approximately 1.8 times greater than that of previous models and a new, energysaving design.
Two color options will be available: black or silver.

XF50-140mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR
The FUJINON XF50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR has a focal length equivalent to 76-
213mm*1, and a constant F2.8 aperture throughout the range. With a lens construction
of 23 glass elements in 16 groups, which features five ED lens elements, and one
Super ED lens element with low dispersion characteristics comparable to a fluorite lens,
chromatic aberrations have been substantially reduced. Furthermore, the use of a new
Nano-GI(Gradient Index) coating technology ensures this high-performance optic
delivers results befitting its flagship XF telephoto zoom lens status.
The length of the lens barrel remains constant throughout the entire zoom range, and
features a weather resistant and dust-resistant finish that can also work in temperatures
as low as -10°C. Thanks to a high-performance gyro sensor, a unique image
stabilization algorithm and the bright F2.8 aperture hand-holding is possible in a wider
range of conditions, while the world’s first Triple Linear Motor allows comfortable
shooting with fast, quiet autofocusing.

XF56mm F1.2 R APD
The FUJINON XF56mmF1.2 R APD is an autofocus lens for digital cameras with APS-C
size sensors and provides a focal length equivalent to 85mm*1. The lens has a
maximum aperture of F1.2 making it the world’s brightest autofocus lens for digital
cameras with an APS-C sensor. In addition, the new apodizing filter makes it the perfect
choice for portraiture, with every strand of hair visible and a unique bokeh effect.
This lens is highly portable. When attached to an X Series camera body, it weighs about
half*2 that of a single-lens reflex camera with a lens of the same focal length and F
value, plus it’s quick to use thanks to the high-speed, quiet autofocus. It produces not
only beautiful bokeh part, but also maintain the sharpness with accurate focusing even
in a shallow depth-of -field. This is advantage of Mirrorless system over SLR thanks to
focusing on image sensor itself rather than on separate PD sensor. The shutter sound
on X Series bodies is equally quiet, so it’s easy to capture more natural shots of
subjects.
