14 DAY TRIAL // Fujifilm mirrorless camera owners can now pre-order the upcoming XF10-24mm f4 R OIS and XF56mm f1.2 R lenses from the UK Digital store.
Both lenses share the same Fujifilm X Mount and are designed to cover the gap between the ultra-wide and standard zoom lenses for their line of Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Cameras, as well as to offer a fast prime lens for all the portrait enthusiasts who, until now, had only one choice, the Fujinon XF 60mm f/2.4 R Macro lens.
The Fujifilm X Mount is a relatively new type of mount designed by Fujifilm for their Mirrorless Interchangeable-Lens Cameras. In conclusion, these lenses will be compatible with the Fujifilm X-Pro1, Fujifilm X-E1 and the recently released Fujifilm X-M1 cameras.
The Fujinon XF10-24mm f4 R OIS ultra-wide zoom lens will be available starting November - December this year. Featuring a wide focal length equivalent to 15-36mm, this new lens comes at the right time for passionate landscape and interior photographers.
When it comes to the Fujinon XF56mm F1.2 R lens, all we can do is dream about the possibilities that it can offer until the official launch in Spring 2014. With an aperture of f1.2, this fast prime lens will be perfect for blurring backgrounds and making the subject stand out in your photos.
Fujifilm has a clear advantage over its direct mirrorless camera competitors when it comes to the wide range of high-grade prime lenses offered for their line of cameras and, with these two new additions, the gap is getting even bigger.
For now, you can head to the UK Digital store and pre-order your XF10-24mm f4 R OIS lens for £799 / $1,280 / €924 and the XF56mm F1.2 R lens for £999 / $1,600 / €1,168.
Stay tuned here to find out more about the upcoming Fujifilm lenses expected to be released later next year.
