Description — Fujifilm 30mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro
The FUJINON XF30mm F2.8 R LM WR Macro is a prime lens designed specifically for Fujifilm X-mount mirrorless cameras with APS-C format sensors. At a fixed 30mm focal length and maximum aperture of f/2.8, it sits comfortably in the standard range, offering a natural field of view for everyday and macro shooting. The lens is remarkably light at 195g, reducing fatigue during extended use and making it a practical travel companion.
It accepts 43mm screw-in filters, a compact thread size that keeps accessory costs manageable. Both autofocus and manual focus modes are supported, allowing photographers to adapt to the demands of the scene — whether tracking a moving subject or fine-tuning focus during precise close-up work. The lens does not include built-in image stabilization, so a steady hand or tripod is recommended for macro situations.
As a macro-type lens in the standard focal length range, it pairs well with Fujifilm's X-series mirrorless bodies for photographers who want a single, compact prime that can transition between everyday and close-up photography.
