Fujifilm debuts Telephoto Zoom XF Lens Series in India

Fujifilm India has announced the launch of the new "FUJINON XF55-200mmF3.5-4.8 R LM OIS" lens for the FUJIFILM X-Pro1 and X-E1 compact system cameras.

FUJINON XF lenses feature lens engineering, capable of drawing the performance out of the "X-Trans CMOS Sensor" in the FUJIFILM X-Pro1 and X-E1 cameras.  The new FUJINON XF55-200mm lens produces sharp images across its entire zoom range, well resolved corner-to-corner.  The F3.5-4.8 lens facilitates image capture in scenes requiring a fast shutter speed.  Its image stabilization function enables the use of shutter speeds 4.5 stops slower, preventing camera shake even when shooting hand-held in low-light, or at a stopped down aperture.  

Rohit Pandit, Executive VP, Sales & Marketing, Fujifilm India, says, "I am extremely happy to share the launch news. In India, the Lens will be available from 10th of June, 2013. It will be a perfect companion to the X-E1 and X-Pro1 camera bodies. This lens is also an important milestone in our journey to populate more lenses for the Fujifilm interchangeable range".Furthermore, it is built to include two linear motors for high-speed AF of 0.28 seconds, instantaneously focussing on your subject.  

The firmware will be available to download from company's website nearer the launch of the XF55-200mmF3.5-4.8R LM.
