The FUJIFILM XF 18-120mm f/4 LM PZ WR is a versatile zoom lens designed for FUJIFILM X-mount APS-C cameras, offering a broad focal length range of 27-183mm equivalent. It is particularly suited for content creators and those working with video and motion, thanks to its power zoom mechanism and intuitive controls.
This lens features a power zoom that allows for smooth transitions across the focal length range and can be adjusted using a newly designed zoom lever for variable speeds. It also supports stepless aperture control with certain camera models, including the FUJIFILM X-H2S, X-T4, X-T3, and X-S10, enabling precise exposure adjustments.
The XF 18-120mm f/4 LM PZ WR incorporates three aspherical elements to reduce distortions and spherical aberrations, along with three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements to minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing. This optical design ensures sharp, clear images with accurate color reproduction. The lens also features a constant f/4 maximum aperture, providing consistent illumination throughout the zoom range.
Built for durability, the lens has a weather-sealed construction that withstands dust, moisture, and temperatures as low as 14°F. The front element is coated with fluorine to resist water, grease, and dirt, making it easier to clean.
Additional features include a rounded seven-blade diaphragm for smooth bokeh and a lightweight design at approximately 1 lb, which maintains compatibility with various stabilization tools. The lens’s internal zoom and focusing design helps keep the balance consistent, especially when used with gimbal stabilization devices.
