This compact lens comes with professional-grade autofocusing plus an industry-first sliding lens cap system that allows users the freedom to ‘shoot anytime, anywhere’. A simple slide motion instantly activates the lens, eliminating traditional caps while still protecting the front element against dust and scratches. The front element is protected by water and oil repellent coatings, and the lens is secured by a precision-engineered aluminium mount. With its 42mm equivalent focal length, the Viltrox AF 28/4.5 XF offers a versatile perspective, while the internal Voice Coil Motor (VCM) ensures fast, accurate, and silent autofocus. The sleek metallic body blends seamlessly with Fujifilm’s cameras.
The new lens has an MSRP of US$99 and is available through the Viltrox Official Store as well as the Viltrox Amazon store.
