Description — Fujifilm 18-55mm T2.9 RF
The Fujinon MK-R 18-55mm T2.9 is a cine-type zoom lens covering a standard focal length range of 18-55mm with a constant T2.9 maximum aperture throughout. Built for Canon RF-mount cameras, it is designed around a Super 35 image circle and is classified for cinema and video camera systems. The lens operates entirely in manual focus mode — no autofocus system is present — which is consistent with professional cine production workflows. Image stabilization is not included, so external stabilization rigs are recommended for moving shots.
Weighing in at 980g, the MK-R 18-55mm is practical for a variety of support configurations including gimbals and shoulder rigs. The 82mm filter thread provides compatibility with standard matte box systems and screw-in filters commonly used in cine environments. For productions requiring consistent exposure across a versatile zoom range on Canon RF-mount platforms, the MK-R 18-55mm T2.9 delivers a reliable, manual-first optical tool.
