The X-T1 uses a triple layer coating to give it a unique and durable finish, and is now equipped with a high-speed electronic shutter that has a maximum speed of 1/32000 second that can be set in 1/3 stops*.

A complement to the FUJIFILM X-T1, the weather-resistant FUJINON XF50-140mmF2.8 R
LM OIS WR lens has a focal length equivalent to 76-213mm, and a constant F2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range. The length of the lens barrel remains constant throughout the entire zoom range, and features a weather- and dust-resistant finish that can operate in temperatures as low as 14°F. Thanks to a high-performance gyro sensor, a unique image stabilization algorithm and the bright F2.8 aperture, hand-held photography is possible in a wider range of shooting conditions. The XF50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR also now uses the world’s first Triple Linear Motor for fast and quiet autofocusing and shooting.

The new FUJINON XF56mmF1.2 R APD (Apodization) is a fast, quiet lens designed for FUJIFILM X-Series Compact System Cameras (CSCs). It features a maximum aperture of F1.2, making it one of brightest autofocus lenses for digital cameras with an APS-C sensor. The new apodizing filter provides incredibly clear details and images set on a beautiful bokeh with smooth lines, making it ideal for portrait photography.

The XF56mm F1.2 R APD is constructed of 11 glass elements in eight groups, including one aspherical glass-molded lens element and two extra-low dispersion lens elements. Spherical aberrations are corrected by the aspherical glass element to deliver high resolution at the maximum aperture setting. Additionally, thanks to the combination of two extra-low dispersion lens elements and three cemented lens elements, chromatic aberrations are greatly reduced.
