Fujifilm FUJINON MK18-55mm T2.9, FUJIFILM X-mount

Fujifilm FUJINON MK18-55mm T2.9 | FUJIFILM X-mount

The 'Fujinon MKX18-55mm T2.9 Lens in X-Mount' is a lightweight cine-style zoom lens for X-mount cameras with a Super 35mm sensor. Electrical contacts in the lens mount allow for communication with X-series cameras. It features a mechanical design with three independent lens control rings: focus, iris and zoom. Each ring features a cine-style gear with 0.8 MOD for interface with standard cine-style lens accessories. The focus ring rotates approximately 200°, allowing for precise focus pulling, and the iris is clickless, allowing for smooth iris pulling. The lens also features a macro mode for close-up focusing capabilities.

The lens is color-matched to other Fujinon lenses such as the HK, ZK and XK series, allowing for seamless lens transitions. The 85mm front can be used with many cine-style matte boxes using optional lift-off rings (rings not included). The lens weighs just 980g, which is relatively light for a cine zoom that maintains focus and aperture throughout its focal length range. It is designed for Fuji X-mount cameras, so its focal length is short, but the lens allows you to adjust the flange focal length so you can match it exactly to the camera you are using the lens on.

Electrical contacts in the lens mount allow communication with X-series cameras, allowing correction of distortion and color/brightness shadows to prevent vignetting. This connection also allows for a variety of color expressions using Film Simulation modes.

• The focus, zoom and iris gear ring positions are in the same position on both MKX series lenses, allowing for quick switching between the two zooms as there is no need to adjust the position of the lens accessories.


• Both MKX series lenses are the same weight and length, so there's no need to rebalance the camera when changing from one lens to another.


• 200° focusing cylinder rotation


• No spacers are required to adjust the flange focal length, as this lens has a built-in adjustment mechanism


• Macro focus function available
