Fujifilm's versatile APS-C power zoom covering 27-180mm equivalent with weather resistance — ideal for video.
The Fujifilm XF 18-120mm f/4 LM PZ WR was released in 2022 as the APS-C power zoom for video-focused use on Fujifilm X-mount bodies, providing a 27-183mm full-frame equivalent range at constant f/4 with motorised PZ (Power Zoom) for smooth, consistent zoom transitions. LM (Linear Motor) provides fast, quiet AF. WR sealing. At 460g and 72mm filter thread it is the professional video zoom option for the Fujifilm X system.
The optical design uses 15 elements in 12 groups including 3 aspherical and 3 ED elements. Seven rounded aperture blades. The 72mm filter thread is standard. At 460g the lens is moderate. Minimum focus distance of 0.6m throughout the zoom range. PZ power zoom enables smooth motorised transitions. LM linear motor provides fast, quiet AF. WR sealing. Constant f/4 aperture.
The motorised PZ zoom enables smooth, speed-consistent transitions for video — manual zoom rings produce variable-speed transitions that appear uneven in footage. The constant f/4 prevents exposure changes during a zoom shot. LM's fast, quiet AF provides continuous tracking without audible motor noise for on-camera audio. WR sealing enables outdoor shooting in light rain. The 27-183mm equivalent covers wide-through-telephoto for event, documentary, and broadcast video in a single lens.
On the used market the XF 18-120mm f/4 LM PZ WR is a 2022 product with limited used availability. Condition checks: PZ motor for smooth consistent zoom speed, LM AF response, WR sealing at barrel seams, and 72mm front element for marks. Compatible with all Fujifilm X-mount APS-C bodies.
