X-SERIES CAMERA & LENS

(WLKƂNO has a new option in its popular X Series camera lineup as well as a

fast wide-angle prime for the system.

The Fujiwlm X-T30 offers performance characteristics similar to the

X-T3, but in a lighter, more compact design. This 26.1-megapixel APS-C

mirrorless camera can capture up to 30 fps and features an AF system

with face and eye detection that’s available in AF continuous mode for

moving subjects. It can record 4K video at 30 frames per second and also

1080p resolution at 120 fps for slow-motion video. List price: $899.

The FUJINON XF16mmF2.8 R WR is the second 16mm prime XF lens,

and though slightly slower than the FUJINON XF16mmF1.4 R WR, it’s

also about half the price at $399 compared to the ƒ/1.4 model at $749. It

can focus as close as 6.69 inches and

provides a 35mm-equivalent focal

length of 24mm. Contact: Fujiwlm,

The wfth lens for Nikon’s Z Series
mirrorless cameras is the NIKKOR Z
24-70mm F/2.8 S. A full stop faster than
the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S that was
introduced last year, the new lens is
targeted at professionals and enthusiasts
who want the highest image quality and
speed from this popular zoom range.

the ƒ/4 S line model—as you’d expect—

than the AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E
ED VR lens for DSLRs.
It’s the wrst lens to feature a new
ARNEO coating that is intended to
signiwcantly reduce yare and ghosting. It’s
also the wrst lens to incorporate a dedicat-
ed manual focus ring in addition to the
customizable control ring, for enhanced
usability, and an Organic EL Lens Informa-
tion Panel that can display either the
current aperture and focal length settings
or focus distance and depth of weld.
The NIKKOR Z 24-70mm F/2.8 S is
compatible with the in-camera, 5-axis
Vibration Reduction system in the Z 7 and
Z 6 for up to 5 stops of image stabilization
and offers a minimum focusing distance of
1.25 feet. List price: $2,299. Contact:
