Fujifilm's weather-resistant APS-C macro — 46mm equivalent at f/2.8 with true 1:1 magnification.
The Fujifilm XF 30mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro was released in 2022 as a macro prime for Fujifilm X APS-C bodies, providing 1:1 (life-size) magnification at 10cm minimum focus distance. The 46mm full-frame equivalent perspective. Linear Motor (LM) provides fast, quiet AF suited to macro approach focusing. WR sealing is built in. At 195g and 43mm filter thread it is very compact for a 1:1 macro prime. Nine rounded aperture blades.
The optical design uses 11 elements in 9 groups including 3 aspherical and 2 ED elements. Nine rounded aperture blades. The 43mm filter thread is very compact. At 195g the lens is lightweight. Minimum focus distance of 0.10m at 1:1 (life-size) magnification. Linear Motor provides fast, quiet AF. WR sealing at 9 barrel sealing points. f/2.8 maximum aperture. 46mm full-frame equivalent.
The 1:1 magnification at 10cm MFD with LM autofocus is the XF 30mm's defining macro capability: autofocus at 1:1 macro distances is rare and enables reliable subject acquisition for insects, small products, and detail photography without manual focus intervention. The 46mm equivalent provides a wider environmental view at 1:1 than a 100mm macro equivalent — useful for environmental macro compositions where context around the subject matters. WR extends use to outdoor macro subjects in light rain.
On the used market the XF 30mm f/2.8 R LM WR Macro is a 2022 product with limited used availability. Condition checks: LM AF motor response at macro distances, WR sealing at barrel seams, and 43mm front element for marks. Compatible with all Fujifilm X-mount APS-C bodies.
