Fujifilm has announced the FUJINON XF400mmF4.5 R LM OIS WR. A new super-telephoto lens for the X series, it will be particularly interesting for wildlife, bird, sports and aviation photographers.

Thanks to the APS-C sensor in Fujifilm cameras, the 400mm offers an angle of view equivalent to approximately 609mm on full-frame, while keeping the weight down to 1,245 grams.
That relatively low weight is interesting. Super-telephoto lenses quickly become quite large and heavy, but Fujifilm has tried to keep the XF 400mm f/4.5 suitable for handheld photography. The centre of gravity is also relatively close to the camera body, which should make the combination better balanced.
5.5 stops of image stabilisation
At a focal length of 400mm, good image stabilisation is clearly no unnecessary luxury. According to Fujifilm, the built-in optical stabilisation offers up to 5.5 stops of correction.
Combined with the maximum aperture of f/4.5, this should also make the lens practical to use when you do not want to work with a tripod or monopod.
The autofocus uses internal focusing and a linear motor. There are also specific functions for sports and wildlife photographers, such as a focus limiter and the option to save a focusing distance in advance and recall it at the press of a button.
Up to more than 1,200mm with a teleconverter
For those who find 609mm is not enough reach, the lens also works with the existing Fujifilm teleconverters. With the 1.4x converter, it becomes a 560mm f/6.3, giving an angle of view comparable to approximately 853mm on full-frame. With the 2x converter, you even get 800mm f/9, or approximately 1,219mm converted.
Optically, the lens consists of 21 elements in 14 groups, including two Super ED and four ED elements. The lens is also sealed against dust and moisture at twenty points and, according to Fujifilm, can be used in temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius.
Price and availability
The FUJINON XF400mmF4.5 R LM OIS WR will have a recommended retail price of 2,899 euros in the Netherlands and should be available within a week or two.
At that price, it is obviously not a lens for every Fujifilm photographer. For those who regularly photograph birds, wildlife or sports, however, it looks like an interesting combination of plenty of reach, a relatively large aperture and, above all, remarkably low weight for a lens in this class.
