2 XF14mm F2.8 R Focal Length:f=14mm (35mm format equivalent:21mm ) 7 groups 10 elements (aspherical lens 2 elements ED lens 3 elements) Aperture:F2.8-F22(1/3 Step) Minimum focus distance:approx. 18cm Max. reproduction ratio:0.12 x Filter size:φ 58mm Dimensions:φ 65mm 58.4mm Weight:approx. 235g(only lens) XF14mmF2.8 R Manual(F7.1 1/125sec) White Balance:AUTO ISO200 Film Simulation:Velvia / Vivid Inagaki: This is a picture of Ile de la Cite in the Seine in Paris, taken in early morning. The sense of vast expansion is a typical image produced with the ultra wide angle XF14mmF2.8 R lens. In addition to sweeping landscapes, this lens also shows off its performance with city snapshots. You only need to hold the camera with this lens in a city street to achieve a composition with impact and an added sense of perspective. Cobblestones, often seen in European cityscape, change their appearance according to light conditions. This lens reproduces the texture of each cobblestone in great detail to capture their look exactly as you intend. The most wonderful qualities of XF14mmF2.8 R include its excellent descriptive performance as well as its optical design that keeps distortion under control despite being an UWA lens. This was quite a surprise. A distant horizon or a straight bridge, like the one shown in the picture, are captured distortion-free without compromising the sense of sweeping space, thereby significantly contributing to the overall image quality. Since the distortion is not corrected digitally, the images are sharp right across the frame. 71

4 XF14mm F2.8 R Masaaki Aihara Aperture priority(f5 1/100sec) +1EV White Balance:AUTO ISO400 Film Simulation:Monochrome + Ye filter Aihara: Judging from the wide field of view provided by XF14mmF2.8 R, many people would associate it with landscape photography and snapshots. Surprisingly, however, this is also a good lens for portraiture. Going up close to your subject allows you to seize a lively facial expression. The wide field of view also enables to include the surrounding atmosphere of the scene at the same time. The picture shown was taken for my friend who got married. Shooting close to your subject like this enables capturing not only the person's rich facial expressions but also the warmth of the person's personality. With its compact camera body, X-E1 can draw out more natural facial expressions without intimidating the subject, unlike SLRs. Fujifilm's cameras are famous for their ability to photograph the skin tone perfectly. Their enriched tonality performance reproduces even skin texture very faithfully. 72

6 XF18mm F2 R Focal Length:f=18mm (35mm format equivalent:27mm ) 7 groups 8 elements(aspherical lens 2 elements) Aperture:F2-F16(1/3 Step) Minimum focus distance:approx. 18cm Max. reproduction ratio: 0.14 x Filter size:φ 52mm Dimensions:φ 64.5mm 40.6mm Weight:approx. 116g ( only lens ) XF18mmF2 R Manual(F11 1/250sec) White Balance: Fine ISO200 Film Simulation: Velvia / Vivid Inagaki: This is the Pont Neuf Bridge in Paris. The lens offers a natural and beautiful bokeh when wide open, but also takes a crisp and sharp image if you stop it down, as seen in this picture. I was also amazed to see how little wide-angle distortion the lens suffered. Flair and vignetting in backlight conditions are also controlled very well to a negligible level. XF18mmF2 R provides a crisp image with good description, reproducing the subject's texture. The carvings on the bridge and the texture of stones are portrayed perfectly. The lens gives a smooth portrayal of old architectures as well as the delicate tones of water surfaces. The XF18mmF2 R lens has just the right field of view, making it an indispensable lens for snapshots. 73

7 XF18mm F2 R Focal Length f=18mm 35mm format equivalent 27mm 7 groups 8 elements aspherical lens 2 elements Aperture F2-F16 1/3 Step Minimum focus distance approx. 18cm Max. reproduction ratio 0.14 x Filter size φ 52mm Dimensions φ 64.5mm 40.6mm Weight approx. 116g ( only lens ) XF18mmF2 R Manual F11 1/250sec White Balance Fine Film Simulation Velvia / Vivid ISO200 Inagaki: This is the Pont Neuf Bridge in Paris.

8 XF35mm F1.4 R Focal Length:f=35mm (35mm format equivalent:53mm) 6 group 8 elements (aspherical lens 1 elements) Aperture:F1.4-F16(1/3 Step) Minimum focus distance:approx. 28cm Max. reproduction ratio:0.17 x Filter size:φ 52mm Dimensions:φ 65.0mm 54.9mm Weight:approx. 187g ( only lens ) XF35mmF1.4 R Manual(F3.2 1/30sec) White Balance:Fine ISO400 Film Simulation: Velvia / Vivid Inagaki: XF35mmF1.4 R allows you to approach the subject as close as approx. 28cm from it, so that you can take cute images of daily items or sweets, like shown here. It is capable of producing even and sharp images even when wide open. That means the areas in focus are sharp with good description, creating a beautiful contrast with creamy bokeh. XF35mmF1.4 R is also useful for snapshots. The field of view similar to that of the human eye lends itself well to casual snapshots and portraiture in a natural atmosphere. 74

9 XF35mm F1.4 R Focal Length f=35mm 35mm format equivalent 53mm 6 group 8 elements aspherical lens 1 elements Aperture F1.4-F16 1/3 Step Minimum focus distance approx. 28cm Max. reproduction ratio 0.17 x Filter size φ 52mm Dimensions φ 65.0mm 54.9mm Weight approx. 187g ( only lens ) XF35mmF1.4 R Manual F3.2 1/30sec White Balance Fine Film Simulation Velvia Vivid ISO400 Inagaki: XF35mmF1.4 R allows you to approach the subject as close as approx. 28cm from it, so that you can take cute images of daily items or sweets, like shown here.

10 XF60mmF2.4 R Macro Focal Length:f=60mm(35mm format equivalent:91mm) 8 groups 10 elements(aspherical lens 1 elements ED lens 1 elements) Aperture:F2.4-F22(1/3 Step) Minimum focus distance:approx. 26.7cm Max. reproduction ratio:0.5 x Filter size:φ 39mm Dimensions:φ 64.1mm 70.9mm weight:approx. 215g (only lens ) Inagaki: I often go overseas for a photo shoot and end up walking around for many hours. Light and compact photography equipment is therefore a wonderful blessing. The XF60mmF2.4 R Macro lens is very handy as it is compact and weighs only around 215g despite being a midtelephoto lens. Its macro capability broadens its applications beyond regular shooting. When you stop it down a little, the resulting images are extremely sharp, like the photograph shown. Complemented with its creamy bokeh and fine image description, the lens also superbly captures the texture and tone of human skin in portrait photography. XF60mmF2.4 R Macro Manual(F5 1/4 sec) White Balance: Fine ISO800 Film Simulation: Velvia / Vivid 75

11 XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS Masaaki Aihara Focal Length:f=18-55mm(35mm format equivalent:27-84mm) 10 group 14 elements(aspherical lens 3 elements ED lens 1 elements) Aperture:F2.8-F22(1/3 Step) Minimum focus distance:wide:approx. 30cm TELE:approx. 40cm Max. reproduction ratio:0.08 x x Filter size:φ 58mm Dimensions:WIDE: 65.0mm 70.4mm / TELE: φ 65.0mm 97.9mm weight:approx. 310g ( only lens ) Aihara: I had XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS on X-E1 all the time during this on-location shooting so that I can respond to any photographic situations. Despite being a zoom lens, it produces crisp images with creamy bokeh, and is a no-brainer choice for trekking and bush walking because of its compact size. During this evening photo shoot in primarily mid-tone, low-contrast landscape, X-E1 s sensor managed to analyze colors very well. The tonality of the roots in the foreground, the colors of flowers and the gradation of the sky were faithfully captured thanks to the sensor s wide dynamic range. XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS Focal Length:31.5mm Manual(F3.6 1/30sec) White Balance: AUTO ISO200 Film Simulation: Velvia / Vivid 76

12 XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS Focal Length:18mm Manual(F3.6 1/30sec) White Balance: AUTO ISO400 Film Simulation: Velvia / Vivid Inagaki: This lens covers the most frequently-used range of focal lengths. Because of its compact size, you can combine it with XF14mmF2.8 R or XF60mmF2.4 R Macro to make up a lightweight kit when you are carrying a large amount of luggage. As you can see from the featured picture, this is a tremendous lens that is sharp and capable of capturing even the finest details of intricate patterns across the frame. The bokeh is soft and increases gradually to produce natural and pleasing results. 77
