Frequently asked questions
Is the Fujifilm XF 18mm F1.4 stabilized?
No. Fujifilm bodies with in-body stabilization, such as the X-H and X-T5 series, cover this gap; on other bodies use a faster shutter speed.
What filter size does it use?
The filter thread is 62mm, so standard 62mm polarizers and ND filters screw straight onto the front.
How close can it focus?
Minimum focus is 0.2 m. That is close enough to place a foreground subject against a wide background.
