Fujifilm MKX18-55mm T2.9 Lens (Fuji X-Mount)

The Fujifilm MKX18-55mm T2.9 Lens: A Fuji X-Mount Marvel

Overview:

The Fujinon MKX18-55mm T2.9 Lens is a professional-grade cinema zoom lens designed for X-mount cameras with Super 35mm sensors. It features three independent rings for precise control over focus, iris, and zoom, each equipped with a cine-style gear (0.8 MOD) for compatibility with standard cine-style accessories. The focus ring provides a 200° rotation for pinpoint focus adjustments, while the iris ring offers smooth, click-free iris adjustments.

Pairing this lens with the MKX50-135mm T2.9 expands your focal length options, making it suitable for various applications. With a versatile 18-55mm focal length and a fast T2.9 aperture, this Fujifilm lens offers flexibility and excellent low-light performance. Drawing on over 70 years of lens manufacturing expertise, it minimizes lens breathing and focus shift during focal length adjustments.

Fujinon cine lenses are globally recognized for their accurate reproduction of skin tones and consistent color balance. This lens delivers outstanding image quality and smooth bokeh, making it ideal for a wide range of shooting scenarios, from wide establishing shots to close-up headshots.

More Details:

• Consistent T2.9 aperture over zoom range: This means that you can maintain a constant exposure as you zoom in and out, which is ideal for video recording.
• Three independent lens control rings: Focus, iris, and zoom rings are all geared for compatibility with standard cine-style lens accessories. This makes it easy to achieve smooth and precise focus pulls, iris pulls, and zoom movements.
• Clickless 9-blade iris: The iris ring is clickless, which allows for smooth iris pulls without any unwanted noise.
• 200° focus rotation and macro mode: The focus ring has a 200° rotation angle, which provides precise focus control. The lens also has a macro mode for close-up focusing.
• Color matched to Fujinon HK/ZK/XK series: The colors produced by the MKX18-55mm T2.9 are matched to those of the Fujinon HK/ZK/XK series of cine lenses. This makes it easy to mix and match lenses without having to worry about color inconsistencies.

Additional Information about the MKX18-55mm T2.9 Lens (Fuji X-Mount):

• Advanced optical performance - The Fujifilm 18-55mm lens uses an optical construction comprising 22 glass elements in 17 groups, with six super ED lens elements and two ED lens elements. It has a T2.9 aperture across the entire zoom range which facilitates the increasingly popular style of bokeh effect with shallow depth-of-field. This also eliminates the need to re-adjust lighting, contributing to shortening shooting time.
• Suppress focus shift while zooming - The front focusing group of lens elements and the zooming group of lens elements are driven independently from one another to suppress focus shift while zooming, which eliminates the need to re-focus after zooming in or out. The optical and mechanical approach means there is no time lag as seen in an electrical control system.
• Suppress lens breathing - The use of the front inner-focusing system controls lens breathing change of angle of view during focusing which achieves smooth focusing in an impressive scene.
• Suppress optical axis shift while zooming - Manufacturing technology developed for conventional Fujinon cine lenses is applied to control optical axis shift while zooming, achieving the intended composition every time.
