Fujifilm officially announced the XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR macro which is the first of Fuji’s X-mount lens to give full 1:1 macro reproduction.
The weather-sealed to resist dust and moisture optic is equivalent to 122mm focal length on X-series bodies. It offers OIS stabilization of 5-stops correction. AF is quiet thanks to a linear motor, and a fluorine coating on the front element aims to make it less prone to smudging.
The Fujifilm XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR will start shipping from November for $1200. Check out the official sample photos.
