X-E3 Body (Black) + XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro Lens
Mirrorless Digital Camera Kit
A stylish and versatile rangefinder mirrorless digital camera, the X-E3 from Fujifilm features an updated sensor and processor inside a familiar body. It uses a 24.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor that has omitted an optical low-pass filter, and an X-Processor Pro image processor to capture sharp, high-resolution images. In comparison to conventional pixel patterns, the X-Trans design more closely mimics the organic nature of film in order to produce nuanced colours and smooth tonal transitions, while also reducing moiré and aliasing.
Together this impressive sensor and processor combination also provides a continuous shooting rate up to 14 fps, an extended sensitivity range to ISO 51200, and the ability to record UHD 4K/30 video or Full HD 1080p/60 video. When recording images or video, Film Simulation modes can be used to creatively enhance your footage. Video can also be output via HDMI to an external recorder or monitor, and a mic jack is featured for working with an external microphone.
Benefitting these features, optimised continuous autofocus performance provides improved subject tracking and focusing accuracy. Using both contrast- and phase-detection methods, the hybrid autofocus system features 91 total points, which can be divided into 325 total areas. Approximately 50% side-to-side and 75% top-to-bottom of the frame is covered by phase-detection points. A dedicated Focus Lever provides faster, more intuitive control over selecting specific focus points while shooting.
The camera is finished with the same classic physical design of its predecessor, with physical shutter speed and exposure compensation dials. This physical exposure compensation dial now features a C position to allow an expanded compensation range when working with the control dials. Compose your images using the high-resolution 2.36m-dot electronic viewfinder or 3.0" 1.04m-dot rear touchscreen LCD that also offers focus point selection and menu navigation. Built-in WiFi with Bluetooth connectivity is also included for low-power image transferring and remote camera control from a linked mobile device.
Here the X-E3 is kitted with the XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro from Fujifilm, a 120mm equivalent telephoto prime for Fujfiilm X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras, designed for close-up shooting. This long focal length is combined with a maximum aperture of f/2.8, a 25cm minimum focusing distance, and 1:1 life-size magnification for macro shooting. A Floating Focus System benefits close-up work by using two distinct focusing groups in order to provide faster performance and maintain image quality throughout the focus range, and a linear motor ensures quick, quiet and smooth autofocus performance that is particularly useful when working with fast-moving subjects or recording video. Additionally, a five stop-effective optical image stabilisation system minimises the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.
Optically the lens features one aspherical element to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion, and one Super ED element alongside three extra-low dispersion elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for sharp, clear imagery. The lens is finished with a weather-sealed construction and features a fluorine coating on the front element to guard against moisture, smudging, and dust. This design also permits working in temperatures as low as -10°C. Lastly, a focus range limiter switch allows you to constrain the focus range to between 9.8" (25 cm) to 1.6', 1.6' to infinity, or the whole 25 cm to infinity range for more responsive focusing depending on the distance to your subject.
The XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro is also compatible with the optional XF 1.4x TC WR and XF 2x TC WR teleconverters for extending the effective focal length to an equivalent 171mm and 244mm, respectively.
