Frequently asked questions
Is the XF 18mm F2 R fast to autofocus?
No. It uses an older focus motor, so it is slower and noisier than the newer linear-motor lenses.
Does the XF 18mm F2 have an aperture ring?
Yes, like most XF lenses it has an aperture ring with an A setting for camera control.
Is the XF 18mm F2 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.
