Fujifilm to debut ultra wide-angle lens

Fujifilm Corp. announced the Fujinon XF 10-24 mm f/4 R OIS lens, compatible with all Fujifilm X mount compact interchangeable lens system cameras. It is a 2.4x lens, equivalent to 15-36mm in the 35mm format. Its ultrawide to standard focal length capabilities make it ideal for shooting landscapes with maximum detail from the foreground to infinity. It also provides good performance while shooting interiors. The maximum aperture f/4 enables handheld shooting in low light conditions. It can also take close-ups up to 24cm. The lens weighs about 410 g and will be available from February 2014 in Japan, and from March outside Japan.
