Ultra-thin Wide-angle Lens for X-Mount: COLOR-SKOPAR 18mm F2.8 Aspherical | Cosina Co., Ltd.
Cosina Co., Ltd. plans to release the Voigtländer interchangeable lens 'COLOR-SKOPAR 18mm F2.8 Aspherical X-mount' in February 2024. Priced at 88,000 yen (tax included), it will be available in two colors: silver and black.
This product is a dedicated MF wide-angle lens for Fujifilm X-mount, offering a 28mm equivalent angle of view in 35mm format, ideal for table photography and snapshots. It features double-sided aspherical lenses and anomalous partial dispersion glass to ensure excellent optical performance, achieving a compact pancake style with an aperture of F2.8. Its size is similar to the already released 'ULTRON 27mm F2 X-mount' (40mm equivalent in 35mm format).
The electronic contacts built into the body support Exif information, focus check, and shooting distance-linked display. Some models (X-H1, X-T4, X-S10, X-H2S, X-H2, X-T5) can also use in-body image stabilization. Reliable communication is achieved through Fujifilm's information disclosure. The focus ring is equipped with a focus lever, and unlike genuine XF lenses, the aperture ring is directly connected to the aperture blades, allowing for a direct operational feel.
