Description — Fujifilm 300mm f/8
The Fujifilm 300mm f/8 Fujinon T Copal is a prime telephoto lens designed for the Fujifilm X mirrorless mount system. Operating at a fixed focal length of 300mm, it offers a dedicated telephoto perspective with no zoom range to navigate. The maximum aperture of f/8 is fixed, which is an important consideration when planning shoots in varied lighting conditions.
This lens relies entirely on manual focus — there is no autofocus mechanism — making it a deliberate choice for photographers who prefer hands-on focus control. Image stabilization is not included, so users shooting handheld at this focal length should be mindful of technique or use a tripod for best results. The Fujifilm X mount compatibility positions this lens for use across Fujifilm's mirrorless camera lineup. Filter thread size and weight data are not available in the current specifications.
